January 2004 Asking: $149,500.00 Winter storage paid for until June 1, 2004 and includes launching. Delivery possible at reasonable rates. We will commission engines and water systems in the spring at no charge. "Traveler" is priced well below many comparable fine wooden yachts currently listed, and most do not have the superb lines and classic looks of this pedigree yacht. With the recent 2002 restoration, this vessel is an excellent value. We look forward to being of service after the sale as well.

For the person who wants a yacht of this caliber in fiberglass at a reasonable price, this is the answer. We will work with a professional fiberglass boat builder who will apply a heavy fiberglass skin over this very sound double planked hull. The double planking is a very stable and an extremely strong substrate for a fiberglass finish. There are no caulked seams. Hull is tight and fair. Moisture level perfect for this application. Vessel will be stripped of paint from keel to rub rail. Hull faired. Thru hull fittings pulled and reinstalled over the fiberglass afterwards. A heavy skin of fiberglass is applied to the hull. Extra layers applied to keel. Below the waterline a thick gelcoat is built up for moisture proofing, sanded and bottom painted. Above the waterline, the fiberglass and gelcoat are faired with the Awlgrip system and then a fine Awlgrip paint finish is applied. Your choice of color! The result will be a fiberglass / Awlgrip finished boat that is better than just a solid glass boat! Her transom will remain bright varnished teak. The combination will provide decades of protection and greatly reduced maintenance. Bilges will remain dry. Hull strength will be increased. This system is similar to the modern method of building a custom laminated hull with epoxy and finishing with a fiberglass epoxy skin. Price with New Fiberglass / Awlgrip hull: $189,500. Boat will be ready by June 15, 2004 work to start approximately May 1, 2004 if purchased with this option ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Traveler is a classic Ed Monk design with walk around teak decks, a large bow area, an enclosed pilothouse, and a flying bridge with bimini top. Comfortable cockpit, walk thru transom door and spacious swim platform. The saloon cabin roof is reinforced and capable of carrying a 13' Boston Whaler. The flying bridge provides a commanding view of the entire yacht. Monk trawler designs helped set the standard for cruising yachts. Traveler was built by Nimphius Boatworks located in Neshkoro, Wisconsin. Nimphius is considered one of the finest classic wooden boat yards in the country. They have a national reputation for the highest quality work. Her replacement value as a fine wooden yacht is estimated at $900,000. plus. A Nimphius built boat is equal to Bunker and Ellis, Hogdon Yachts and Paul Luke in the quality of construction and selection of the finest materials. She is "Top Shelf" as they say. Traveler is one of a kind. The design is an original produced by Edwin Monk Sr. renowned marine architect. Traveler has been in the Great Lakes for most of her life. She has been properly maintained by experienced and knowledgeable owners. June 2003, "Traveler" has passed a rigid condition survey. Fastenings are near new condition and structure excellent. Systems work was considered to be excellent. http://www.midcoastyacht.com/Monk48.html
