1970 Columbia 57' _{(17.37 m)} Custom 57

Vessel Walkthrough

This was a 1970 57' Columbia that was sailed to FL in 2013. Since then, it has been on the hard in a good boat yard being completely redesigned/built out by its current owner’s sub contractors to suit their needs and improve the vessel overall. With the number of changes and upgrades, a surveyor and Coast Guard may designate it as a newer year once the boat is complete and ready to sail (New owner will need to go through this process). There are receipts for just about everything and a large majority of components are being stored off the boat while work continues, sale includes everything the seller already purchased for the boat.
