Antique and Classics Handshake

Take a step back in time and check out this classic Paul Jones built Chesapeake 38 Deadrise with new John Deere diesel power. What a head turner! Several "best in show" awards since her refit when a layer of fiberglass was added from the rub rail down. All the engine and glass work was done by Sandy Thompson at the Thompson Boatyard in Crab Alley. The present owners have enjoyed 12 years of cruising, fishing and crabbing throughout the Chesapeake Bay. She can run planer boards, trotlines, or cocktail cruise with equal enthusiasm! Mahogany cockpit rails with backlit lights, a custom engine box, and a delightful transom bench seat highlight the cockpit area. Cockpit controls with trolling valve and handy bench with gas stove to port are forward of the engine box. Stepping into the pilothouse the dinette is on the port side with a freshwater sink to starboard just aft of the helm station. The helm is well equipped with Garmin radar, chart plotter and fish finder, a new ProMariner battery charger, and electric windlass. Forward you'll find a comfortable v-berth and a head with a door to starboard. She is truly a gem and must be seen to be appreciated. She even has a full canvas cover for storage and privacy! A full condition and valuation survey was completed in June and found "no outstanding deficiencies." Call today for more information or to schedule an appointment to get aboard.
