Penn Yan 26 / 454 Crusader
1984 Penn Yan 26 Open Fisherman with 10 foot beam, conventional IB, not a tunnel drive, the boat was 99% restored over the last 3 years. The boat recieved new stringers and a new transom core, The exterior was professionally refinished with single stage polyurethane paint above the waterline. including the interior, excepting the non-skid liner. All thru hulls above and below the waterline were replaced with bronze units, The boat has three 2500 GPH bilge pumps and a new freshwater washdown pump,all wiring except the short engine harness was replaced, all new fuel fill and feed lines. the cooling system work included new exhaust manifolds, rebuilt seawater pump, new circulation pump, and all cooling hoses replaced. 2 new 27 series marine batteries and selector switch and 2/0 battery cables were replaced. The list of mechanical systems renewed is extensive and I havent even scratched the surface as to what was done, if you have further questions, you can contact me through PM and Ill send you my cell phone #. This boat has a fair amount of teak trim which was removed, stripped, and refinished with Cetol, new cockpit coaming pads were installed, along with a new convertible top custom made of Aqualon material.A new all stainless morse style dual lever control was added along with new Honda extreme control cables, this setup is as smooth as hydraulic controls. There is an extra 17 x 15 Nibral prop included, I bought this for a spare. The work that still needs to be completed is a headliner and hull covering for the cuddy, also the head needs a new holding tank and hoses installed, Ill do this work for a buyer if they buy the materials, no labor,The motor has about 800 hours on the meter, and the trans has less than 200 since new, This is a sweet running boat that cruises at 28 MPH @ 3100 rpm and tops out at 38 MPH at a bit over 4100 rpm The trailer is in good shape, tires are almost new, I used it for about a 35 mile haul to the lake and for storage, I dont think I would haul it cross country as its a bit narrow for the boat, This boat is heavy, about 7000 lbs loaded, I used a 2500 Chevy to haul it, and you definitely know its behind you. The boat has a totally level floor from the helm to the stern, no dumbass motor box to get in the way, almost 100 sqaure feet of open floor.Electronics include a, Sitex CVS 106 with bronze thru hull transducer, A Garmin GPS map 162, and a new Uniden DSC capable VHF. Also, the boat has a Powerwinch 35 class freefall windlass, and a new 200 foot rode with Acco chain, which makes anchoring and pulling a flip of a toggle switch. Not shown in the pics, but included are 4 Walker Kingfisher manual riggers on swivel bases, 10 Markies Mounts rod holders, a pretty good copy of Big Jons, A manual Invader planer mast, and new this spring side curtainsAs almost all the pics were taken during the refit, they are not the best, If SERIOUSLY interested Ill get current pics and add them here or email them to you $14,000 FIRM, thats about 8 grand less than I spent on the project

No, want to go bigger, a single 454 doesnt burn enough gas for me, I have a bad habit of restoring boats, using them a year or two, and then selling them to fund my next project, lm looking at a 30 Penn Yan and a 30 Lyman

See if he'll throw in some flies on the deal for you. He makes some great products, Lake O must haves. The Crazy ****, the Hammer, The B Fly, and some killer combos too. Bought some E chip Tourney rigs to customize some flies from him before we went to Olcott for Labor Day and it made a difference. We were getting rips while most others weren't.

Yes I do, however I painted this boat with an aircraft finish as paint holds uo far better to the UV rays than gelcoat does, On newer boats I repair the gelcoat as its usually just a spot repair

The White is Sterling Urethane, the Green is PPG Delfleet, both seem to be comparable in durability and the PPG is about 50% cheaper and easier to source, Sterling sells direct and also thru port supply, the Wholesale side of West Marine, be warned , This $hit is pricey there was over $1600 worth of White used on my boat, thats color , convertor, catalyst, thats not counting any undercoat or prep costs, just sprayable white
