Griffin 28 Houseboat

1964 Griffin 30 Old School built timber launch

She was built by old school boat building techniques. The hull is carvel planked oregon above the chine, double diagonal planked below the water line. With Dynal /glassed sheathed plywood decks and SOLID teak superstructure

She is powered by a pair of Perkins 48 hp model 4108 4 Cylinder fresh water cooled diesels with 250 hrs approx.

This beautiful launch comes with 2 fwd bunks, a small compact galley, with dinette opposite seating 4 comfortably.

Galley is equipped with a sink H&C water a 2 burner cooker

Aft of the dinette is the head with a manual toilet and shower.

This vessel has comprehensive service history. The vessel has a 2021 survey report for insurance purposes.

Engine overhauled 12 months ago with a new cooling systems, 2 x new bilge pumps.

She has solar on the roof to keep all your batteries trickled charged.

She has safety equipment such as life jackets, EPIRB, 27 meg radio.

In my eyes she has great bones and lines, just needs an enthusiast who loves timber boats and is prepared to spend some hours sanding and lacquering the top sides and some cleaning/detailing on the inside.

I know she needs some TLC, but the hull has no leaks, the entire boat has 2 spots of rot I can see

Some sanding, lacquer and a white paint brush will have this original Griffin looking fantastic in no time. The engine's appear to be fine and start easily with minimal smoke and noise
