We are getting the boat cleaned out, getting her ready to sell after being her patron for 5+ years, before Leprechaun (hull 70),we were owned by "Grace" (currently 2 slips down from Leprechaun) hull 40 for 7 years..... we love Newporters!!
Leprechaun is at a slip in Morro Bay, California at Bayfront Marina a small marina with 30 slips, that allows live aboards. She would be an excellent live aboard home. She needs a cosmetic refit but has had a repower with a Yanmar diesel and has around 2,000 hours, I started it up today and it starts and runs as it should, there is an oil leak somewhere?
The masts have been replaced with aluminum, has a Spectra watermaker, SSB, working radar, autopilot with remote so you can easily pilot her from the doghouse.
She was last hauled and painted 5 years ago and surveyed and all recommended work was taken care of by the yard at that time.
We are just getting to the point that we don't want a big boat anymore and I don't have the stamina, or desire to maintain her as I should.
Anyone that has any interest, contact me at rags4jc2@gmail.com
