More photos at the bottom of the page.

Some more detailed photos and mechanical drawings can be found here.

This is a write-up of the 1000 mile trip from New Jersey to Charlseton, SC. right after I bought the boat.

A classic wood cruiser built of mahogony over oak, with a beautiful mahogony interior. Twin Chrysler 340's and 250 gallons of fuel. An Onan 6.5kw generator will power the marine reverse-cycle A/C-heater so you can pilot the boat in comfort all year around. When the weather is good, the flybridge offers boating in the sun. And with the GPS, Loran and VHF radios, you'll never be lost. The fire supression system, fume detector and CO2 detector adds more to the saftey. A pressurized water system & water heater, full sized refridgerator, 3 burner stove w/oven, Crown II head and a seperate stand-up shower completes this totally self-contained vessel.

1966 36' Pacemaker Flybridge Sedan.		1/4 view from the stern.
Large double doors for better ventilation and visibility.		Classic lines.
View forward from the flybridge.
Nice layout for the flybridge. Comfortable helm seat slids forward. Note: The canvas has bad zippers and torn plastic, but it's available for repair or as a pattern.		Folding seats on the bed actually make two more beds.
View of the cockpit from up on the flybridge.		Cockpit has the same carpet as the interior.
Salon, looking forward.		Salon, to port. This is an older photo. The lower helm has been re-installed. Sofa is a queen-size sleeper.
Salon, to starboard. Leather chair and ottoman do NOT go with the sale.		Dinette converts to a double bed.
Very large galley with full size refrigerator.		Other end of the galley. Microwave is attached to the cabinet.
Head w/Crown II electric head connected to a Raritan treatment system.		Sink in the head.
V-berth.		Gorgeous mahogony throughout. This is the storage in the v-berth.
Port engine (850 hours).		Starboard engine (200 hours).
The mounting boards for the anchor guide need replacing		The plywood on the front of the flybridge is de-laminating. Nothing structural.
Patches not in mahoghnoy need replacing in the cockpit. The mahogony is holding up well.		Chrome trim on rub rail needs re-attaching. This photo is slightly aft of the photo below.
Port side window needs rebuilding		Starboard deck right at the window needs quite a lot of work. The upper decks have been epoxied and are in excellent shape.
Port stern corner. Surveyor called this a "Servicible repair" a few years ago, but the paint is cracking at the seams.		Starboard stern corner is a little worse than the port side. Same comments from the surveyor.
