Condition
Passe Partout is in overall very good shape and with a little work will be ready for long range cruising. She is ready for coastal cruising right now.
Passe Partout is a Uniflite boat, hull number 137 (the number is a "probably"; the exact records have been lost over time), and was built with fire retardant resin. A complete Osmosis repair job was done on her over the winter of '94-'95. She was custom-peeled and dried out under heat lamps and space heaters, then built back up with matte and vinylester resin and finished with an Interprotect 2000/2001 epoxy barrier system. There have been zero (0) blisters below the waterline since this work was performed, and this includes a winter in the Caribbean The work was done at Kingman Marine.
Spares
There are many spares for almost all systems, too numerous to mention here. All equipment currently on the boat and the spares specific to Passe Partout are included with the boat. There is not much to get in this area before going cruising.
A complete inventory, a work-in-progress as of 4/10/06, is available but should not be construed as final at this point in time. A finished inventory describing what goes with the boat will be available before a Purchase and Sale agreement is signed.
Passe Partout may be viewed in central Massachusetts by calling 508-529-6053 and leaving a message, or by e-mailing "paul sears a t charter d o t n e t" (please copy the string in double quotes, paste it into your mail client, and then fix it up to resemble a real e-mail address.
