FORWARD CABIN

Inside the Great Cabin

Looking aft, there is a great amount of space.


EXTERIOR WINDOWS

Swing-Up Cabin Windows

Heavy Honduras Mahogany. Set with handsome brass, which shows the quality and craftsmanship that have gone into the restoration process.


Another Outside View

The interior space is an unobstructed 16'x38' room under the original canopy from the 1940's.
This canopy has not been replaced and is one of the final projects that the new owner,
according to his/her needs will be able to design and build.


This boat is large and open and would make a great live/work space. It is very stable.

 

Modifications and Improvements:

New wheelhouse and engine compartment
Mahogany windows and doors
New steering and shift
New exhaust and sound isolation for the GM 6-71 engine
New head/shower and galley
New decks, blocking, frame tops, gunwales and 2x8 Ironbark guards and cleats.

 

Few of this type of boat were saved from decay. The Victory 1 is an excellent example of a 1940's bay water taxi. You will find the "Victory 1" to be a reliable, unique vessel, and compared to a small condo, the asking price of $24.900 (or best offer) is a steal! Whether cruising on the Bay or making her your home, the "Victory 1" is a special boat.
