About
PTARMIGAN, my 30' Willard Vega Nomad.
She has a Yanmar 4JH4SE 45 hp engine that uses about 1 gph diesel at 5-6 knots. The engine was installed by a yard in Canada, 2008. The hour meter shows 375 hours.
While I have owned her she has undergone an extensive refit. I am a professional boatwright/woodworker, upgrading PTARMIGAN is what I have done as my side job.
PTARMIGAN is currently in Tacoma. Her slip is transferable.
New and upgraded items include:
Stainless steel prop shaft
3 blade prop
Marine grade wiring throughout the entire boat
All wiring labeled, with heat shrink connections
Blue Sea Systems breaker panel
Solid hickory sole in main cabin
Solid teak wainscoting in main cabin
Teak book case and breaker panel enclosure
Solid hickory table, with a drop leaf, in main cabin that seats four
