Contact the owner at three six zero-two seven four-eight four zero four...23' Pli-Core Express Cruiser Centerline Length 23' 8", Beam 8' 0" Power 150Hp 283 V8 OMC out drive Approx. wt 3960 This Cruiser has less than 100 hours on the hull.
We purchased this Cruiser from an estate sale.
It was sold in Spokane and went to ID in 1967.
It spent one year in ID, then moved to Vancouver WA.
It had a few runs on the Columbia River.
It went into inside storage for 49 years.
From what information I received when purchased, it was not back on the water after 1969.
I brought it home and started to bring it back to life. (What would you be like if you were in a closet for 49 years?) When purchased it only had 36.8 hours on it.
First I hand pumped out 17 gallons of 49 year old fuel (Varnish).
Cleaned and flushed the fuel tank.
Second was to try to turn the motor over.
Which was stuck due to three rusted cylinder/piston that were stuck.
I pulled the motor to have rebuilt.
In the tear down by a professional rebuilder we saved the block, rod and crankshaft.
Bored the block to 30 over, polished the crank, installed harden bearings, new pistons, cam and lifters, replaced with proper heads with all new parts.
Exhaust manifolds were totally descaled of rust.
Engine rebuild was over $5000.00.
Sent the carb to CA and was reconditioned to new.
Then reinstalled the motor.
While the motor was being rebuilt, I brought the Cruiser to an OMC mechanic to service the out drive.
Install a new impeller and fluid.
I had a new boot from transom to out drive installed.
Next off to the Top Shop in Longview for all new canvas.
All fuel lines including the pick up tube to the carb are all new.
Installed a prefilter with bowl, a 21 milligram filter/water separator, electric fuel pump, and pressure regulator.
Comes with 2 deep cycle batters with a 2 amp trickle charger wired in Removed the combo bilge pump/bilge blower and replaced with a automatic bilge pump and a 3" bilge blower and 3" hose.
Installed Water and temp gauges in the engine compartment.
Spent hours getting the wipers to work.
Installed new fuse block for new and updated electrical items.
New compass, FM radio w/Blue tooth, marine speakers, VHF radio with 8" antenna, Garmin Echo MAP CHIRP.
It has a Windlass horizontal chain and rope.
There is about 75' of galvanized chain in the bow.
I purchased, I believe, 200' of anchor rope.
Set up with galvanized chain to attach to the anchor that is mounted on the deck.
Installed a new foot switch for the Windlass.
Removed the now illegal marine head and replaced with a Port-a-potty.
Includes a West Marine inflatable, never been inflated.
Spare prop and other parts included.
Many books and pamphlets included from the original owner.
The Cruiser has been on the water out of Willow Grove on the Columbia River four times.
Spent four days on Hood Canal and two days out of Ilwaco in 2018.
Tolly Ho did not make the water in 2019 for my medical reasons.
I did connect water and run at home.
At full throttle, we obtained 30mph with four on board.
Comes with 2019 Aluminum bunk trailer.
