Free Boat: "Beauty," a 1941 Stephens 36ft motor yacht in San Francisco, needs a caretaker. Reportedly the last recreational boat made by Stephens before changing to war production and likely only one of about 8 of this model produced. Comfortable layout with nice blend of protected pilot house, enclosed cabin, and al-fresco stern lounge. After removing siezed engines and leaking tanks, boat frame was dicovered to need a substantial rebuild, a project too large and time consuming for an Florida owner who desires to not skip a season in his later-boater years. "Beauty" (Google for more info) is out of the water at a premier SF boatyard, awaiting action. There are other nearby boatyards also available for the work, perhaps at lower cost. Needs frame work, engines, tanks, topside paint, interior refit. Full canvas included. Truly a "Beauty." New passion urgently needed.
