Next posting I'll add pictures of the spoils. There was some electronics, a few marine radios, TV, refrigerator, marine stove, 2 fishfinders, 2 navi-units and an Autopilot. Also, there was a large bottle of Bacardi left on the counter.

Trip to Napa.
Just realized my sister took pictures of the boat the last weekend. Here it is. It looks very neglected. From my understanding, the boat was used as a liveaboard. This is the reason for the funny chimney looking thing sticking out from the bridge. I plan on removing this and putting it on my shed.
Right now the boat is in Napa, CA. I plan to leave it there for a while as I work on restoring it. At least until I can get the engines tuned up and rewire all the electrical. This trip was all about cleaning out the previous owners junk. Basically I picked it up similar to the TV show, "Storage Wars". The price paid was a 1/5th of the Blue Book price so I can't complain...

Introduction to the Uniflite Sedan Cruiser.
This is a chronicle of rebuilding, restoring, modifying and customizing my 1973 Uniflite Sportsfisher/Cruiser.
A little information about this boat. It's ~31-32 feet long. Very dirty. Very solid though. The navy used this particular model in the Vietnam war. In the war, it was called the PBR or "Patrol Boat, River". The nice thing about this boat is it's solid fiberglass. No wood was used for the hull or structural components. The added benefit to this is no rotten stuff to deal with. Also it's bulletproof and flame retardant. Not sure if I will have to rely on either, but it puts my mind at ease. Below are the specs. This weekend I plan on heading out to take measurements and cleanup. I'll upload pictures of the actual boat next posting.
