Overview
About this vessel
Polyana is looking for a timber boat enthusiast to bring her back to her former glory.
Built in 1938 by W Holmes, this beautiful vessel is the first Queensland registered vessel (MV1Q), and her registration is still current.
This carvel planked fly bridge cruiser has had a major rebuild on the hull and top side. The hull has been glassed over, and the whole boat has been faired and primed for paint. A new fibreglass water tank was custom made, and both Perkins motors and gear boxes have been rebuilt and are ready to install. The head has been glassed in and flow coated.
The investment in the rebuild to date is $250,000, with receipts and progress photos available from the shipwrights.
A large amount of the wiring has been replaced. A new oven is in the galley ready to be installed, and there is a full stainless steel eutectic fridge/freezer.
Works needing to be completed are the internal fit out to the galley and mid ships cabin, the upper helm and some of the aft cockpit, the full paint and anti-foul, and the installation of the motors.
Polyana is a classic designed vessel looking for an owner to finish the fitout and refloat her.
