FOR SALE
48 foot William Garden Cruiser–“Summer Song” -1978
Summer Song’s hull is Honduras mahogany. The planks are lap-straked above the waterline and double diagonal below the waterline. Her hull is easily driven; a single diesel moves her along at 9 knots at 1450 rpm. At this speed she uses about 12 litres an hour. Few boats this size can equal her economy. If you are out running a storm, she will do about 15 knots
She has two cabins sleeping four and two heads, one with a shower. A Sealand holding tank system is installed.
POWER TRAIN
The engine is a Detroit Diesel 6-71 that has been completely rebuilt. The engine has 1000 hours since the rebuild.
Transmission – A new Twin Disc marine gearbox was fitted in 2006. It has had less than 300 hours of use.
The V-drive has had new oil seals, the propeller shaft has new cutlass bearings and the stuffing box has been repacked.
The drive shafts are new and balanced.
ANCHOR
Summer Song has a Lofrans 1500-watt windlass with foot controls on the deck and controls at both steering stations. She has 300 feet of 3/8 high-test chain and a 45 pound anchor.
BATTERIES
She has new (2007) starting batteries (2 8Ds) and house batteries (4-golf cart). The batteries are managed by a Heart interface system with a 2500-watt inverter. The windlass has two separate golf-cart batteries.
She comes with a Livingstone 8-foot dinghy and almost new 2 HP Honda outboard (less than 100 hours).. She also has a portable generator (used once).
Summer Song is a wonderful boat but we simply do not have the time to use her.
Offers from $85,000.
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
