Thanks...The picture is 2 years ago. Having a boathouse and a lot of pride helps to keep her better than new!!!

Thanks for the pictures of the swim platform.

Nice to see RVYC on the stern! Unusual to see people standing in the cold water though. 🤣
I was acting Harbor Master of RVYC Coal Harbour at the time of the twin otter accident.
It was my weekend and summer job thru college. I had a wonderful Harbour Master boss, Stan Kane.
Loved working there lifting boats etc, but went into banking after college.

We had thought about adding a cockpit but instead we replaced the Hatteras swim grid with a 4 foot custom. Never thought about a cockpit again. We have owned Prime Time IV since new. Boathouse kept with many upgrades and only 1300 original hours. I know others who've added an expensive cockpit and regretted it as it changes the handling characteristics of the boat.
As I'm pushing 80 I soon have to realize that my boating days are numbered. Our 53 is a great boat.
Good Luck
Beautiful boat and looks in great shape. Are you going to sell in the future? Thanks
