- Stock #[removed phone] - Exceptional Venetian Water Taxi Passenger for Hire Yacht! Current USCG Certification! Motivated Seller!This is a chance to own a truly special and unique vessel that is USCG licensed passenger for hire 28 plus 2. The owner and builder of this one-of-a-kind craft rescued a Chris Craft Connie hull from near destruction, stripped it clean and meticulously rebuilt it into a water taxi after the Venetian style. All restoration was completed professionally at Glen Cove Boat Works. The boat is such a fine piece of workmanship that Christopher Columbus Smith III (3rd gen. Chris Craft), commented after riding in it, that he wished the company had made such a beautiful boat. From her 24kt gold plating on her fixtures, to the exotic woods used throughout the interior, she is truly unique. She has roses etched into the single-run, tinted safety glass windows. Her interior varnish gleams with that richness only achieved through hours of careful sanding and finishing. Her transom name is in gold leaf. Screws for the cabin are gold plated. Even the display anchor and her hatch covers are gold plated. Pernambuco, iron wood and mahogany adorn the cabin interior. The owner, who has built engines for race boats, rebuilt the twin 3208 cats from the ground up, balancing them to perfection. With less than 200 hours following the rebuild they purr at 2800 rpm. The boat has full electronics with Furuno GP7000 GPS color Plotter, Furuno 1623 radar and icom VHS. This owner is looking for someone willing to treat her like the lady she is. He has already installed new canvas. Please call for an appointment to see a truly unique work of art. She will serve wonderfully as a cruise or tour boat in any canal or lake region around the world. She might also serve a discerning owner as a place to entertain guests in fine fashion. Cruise speed is 14 to 16 knots. Burn at cruise is approximately 12 to 14 GPH. WOT is approximately 21 knots.She is Coast Guard rated for 27 passengers and 2 crew.
