Stacy Riverboat Co. - New arrival

This is a custom built "True Vintage River Boat" with a lot of character, class and history.  The three (3) owners over all these years had the same vision.  The wanted a real river boat, stronger and custom made like no other on the market.  They wanted to travel in comfort, entertain and enjoy our mid-American waterways.

This last owner actually lives in New Mexico and Florida; but wanted this vessel to retire on. The owner spent (9) years rebuilding the hull, engine room, underwater gear, decks etc. Recently, he and his wife' experienced health issues and reluctantly decided to part with this vessel.

She needs finishing on the inside to fit your taste.  However, you will not be disappointed because she will turn the heads on any port of entry.

The Three Bills is documented, 64 ft long and 17 ft wide with very wide gangways. The hull inside and below deck has 5 separate comparments for added integrity.  The interior has "teak" 2x4's and the exterior is EZ-Kleen Vinyl siding and fiberglass over head fore and aft. There is work shop aft and access to the engine room via the aft deck to starboard. She has twin 1975 165 hp Perkins diesel engines and only 680 hours approx. each.  Estimated cruise speed is12 knots.

There are a couple pages of improvement descriptions, changes, upgrades and a complete description of how the bottom and all repairs were completed.  Anything under deck has been replaced including the rudder system.  It has 2 inch stainless engine shafts with modern dripless stuffing boxes.

The upper pilot house is 16 x11, main salon is 14x14 and there is plenty of room for storage, a well equipment galley and dining for six (6). The entire boat above the waterline--including the railings and mesh screening on both deck levels were ground, wire brushed and chipped down to good raw steel then primed and painted with two (2) coats of fresh paint. This finish is not yacht Bristol finish, but is a very good working boat finish and should endure easily for many years to come.

It has an all Steel bottom. The bottom was repaired, replace and refitted with 1/4 inch plated steel 4 feet either side of the centerline along with any ribs and engine mounts that were questionable.  The engines were detached and hoisted.  All mounts were rewelded and strengthened and the entire below deck was repainted.  The attached photos shows the care this present owner took in refurbishing this vessels.

The drive sections were re-aligned and redone with the same care; which can/will be described upon on your inspection. That includes shafts, struts, rudder etc.  There are zero hours on the new hull and the rudders are 22x42 (new). We will tell you about the props later.

Come see this fine old Lady!  She is almost ready to go cruising with some final preparation to your individual taste.  All the heavy finishing has been done. The is a "True River Boat Vintage" vessel of great character and heritage. Invest the time, you will enjoy what you find!  Do not hesitate to call.
