Interior layout

65’ STEEL EX ARMY T-BOAT
BUILT: 1954, National Steel Ship Co., San Diego, Ca.
DIMENSIONS: 65’ LOA, 18’ beam, 7’ draft, ¼ inch steel plate, 70 ton displacement (approx.)

NOTES: This is NOT a Nordhaven yacht. This is a work boat in need of some work. At $88,000 you do not get a Nordhaven. That said, my wife and I have cruised her from Puget Sound to Mexico as a liveaboard for more than 10 years and she has been a reliable, sea worthy vessel.
Her decks are in need of some replating and repairs. The cargo hatch, bulkhead between engine room and cargo hold and main cabin doors need to be replaced. Other cosmetic work and finishing of minor systems is needed.
