I came across an interesting boat the other day that pending a successful sea trial next week and survey I'm going to buy.
Its a Penn Yan 26 similar to this one. What caught my eye was the condition. The boat is freaken mint its an 88 and looks cleaner and better kept than most 5 year old boats I see. Its a two owner boat, first owner kept it until 2 years ago when he passed away, but it was clearly his baby. I love the layout its a nice spray out fiberglass cockpit, has a nice custom radar arch for trolling rods, and all in all is laid out better than any Penn Yan I have ever been on.
But the best part is wait for it.
I pop the engine hatch expecting to see an older 454, instead I'm greeted by the white valve covers of a Cummins B series!
I'm not sure what vintage it is, I'll have to get the serial number, but it was re powered I'm guessing in the late 90's with a B series Cummins.
Hope it goes well, next weekend I'd like to take my new boat out.
Not exactly what I want, but I figure I'll run it a few years until I can get into something larger. Maybe a baby Hatt 32.
