Venetian Water Taxi

[rswisher]

I purchased a Venetian Water Taxi that made its way to the states from Italy, did the fiberglass work, diesel engine work completed ready to put back in the boat and then stopped when I purchased an antique Lyman 26ft boat.
I am looking for a way to sell this boat to an interested party who might want to take on this project.

First you better add some pictures and more pictures and details in those pitures , NEED PICTURES !!! of everything .

You ask, you shall receive. Pictures before I removed all the old wood. This is what she looks like finished. All the deck, and cabin wood have been removed as they were rotten. The sub structure is still present, mostly rewired, engine reworked and parts replaced, readly to reinstall and run again. Exterior is sanded to start preparing for repaint.

Great project for a woodworker and can make a great boat that would cost near $300,000 new.

wow so cool !! could make a really nice classic looking boat from whats there What sort of motor ??

I am sure some one will swoop on it for a total rebuild project .

The engine is the Perkins deisel turbo 165 or 185hp. I will have to confirm but a good working engine.

So in effect you have wrecked it ....

[Neil Calmes]

when you stripped the rotten wood off did you keep the old frame work to the cabin

Would be extremely cool if it could be restored as original...

How long is the boat

Hi,

I take the opportunity to ask this forum what are the current specifications for a venetian water taxi (you cannot build what you want, there must be some basic rules). Any venetian around here?
