1997 Olympic XL for Sale

Classic looks with the low maintenance of fiberglass hull, this1993 speedster has a deep V hull with full stringers for high speed stability, and the vintage looks of high glossed mahogany and ash fore deck and walkbys, dash and gunwales, and mahogany cabin sole throughout - powered with a big Mercury 150 hp (1995/ rebuilt carbs: all receipts) that sends this rock solid ride to 50 mph! That means from Port Townsend to Shilshole marina and Rays Boathouse for lunch in 55 minutes - (first picture is just that, at Shilshole during lunch at Rays!), or Port Townsend to Friday Harbor, San Juan Island in 55 minutes. Or you can use the auxiliary 5 hp Mercury (2006) for slow end trolling, or the 8' spruce oars for drift fishing. Simply put this is a go fast heavily built boat that will go through 1' chop at 30 mph with coffee cups sitting on the dash with no feel of slap on the hull as she cuts a smooth path. Quite remarkable. Get to where you want to go fast, or run from oncoming weather. The deck, dash, and gunwales are 1.25" thick, the transom well is 1.75" thick, and the transom itself is 3" thick. Bright work finished with 4 coats Interlux Sealer and 6 coats Flagship Exterior Varnish. (Bulletproof!) Hull maintained with Turtle Wax Polishing compound and Meguairs Carnuba wax after each outing. Bottom paint for anti-fouling on hull and lower unit on motor We tow "Oh Pauline" (with a Jeep Cherokee -mid size.) on a beautiful dual axle EZ loader trailer (2006) with disc brakes, retractable stern lock downs, mags wheels, break away tongue for easy garage storage, and is flawless. The boat also has a custom padded Sunbrella cover that makes dock moorage no problem. Also included are covers for both outboards. Always stored in a heated garage. A list of additional equipment includes serious Straits of Juan De Fuca safety gear including a self inflating Viking life raft with canopy in a valise (stored under the foredeck) along twin full flotation dry survival suits, plus a Ditch bag with Epirb, flare gun and flares, distress flag, air horn, and ICOM portable VHF radio. She has a serious Danforth anchor on a substantial nylon road, (stored under the fore deck) and a lunch hook as well. The aft seating area opens to a large storage area (for the safety gear) and provides access to the twin AGM batteries in plastic tie down cases, a battery selector switch, large oil reservoir, and three automatic Rule bilge pumps on float switches - each with its own thru hull for overboard pumping. The deck has over-sized chrome over bronze chocks fore and aft, stern cleats, and vintage bow mooring cleat, along with bow running light, and stern light on the flag staff like a vintage Chris Craft. Further equipment is dash mounted fuel gauge, tac, speedo, Garmin GPS, teak cup holders with a pair of vintage wooden dice for luck, and a Marine type USCG 8 lb dash mounted fire extinguisher. The bucket seats are perfect, and the windshield is glass on metal frame with no marks or cracks. The mahogany floor overlay has anti-fatigue mats, removable for cleaning, and extra portable seat cushions for rear seating if required. She also has a water separator fuel filter, dual locking mechanisms on the 5 hp, and faux leopard covers for the custom wood steering wheel and GPS, fore deck crystal prism (sends light into the life raft/anchor hold), power tilt, rear view mirror, fenders and mooring lines, and chrome over bronze engine cowl vents. This is the best riding small boat I have ever been on, and I have 50 years of boating.) I am finally ending my boating career and invite you to see boat in heated garage storage at your convenience.
