This 1997 Bruce Roberts Custom 63 Steel Ketch Is Described As:

If you've ever dreamed of building a large, capable bluewater yacht and want to get a major head-start on your project, this vessel may be the perfect choice for you. The boat is basically all there, 90% complete, but her interior needs final trim work in a number of areas and she requires final commissioning work to the rig. This Bruce Roberts 63, which is fashioned after a Roberts 58 design, is a radial-chine steel yacht with beautiful lines and a raised pilothouse. Her hull construction and welding is outstanding.

Her hull and deck are completed and the exterior was painted with a two-part metal boat paint system and shows no rust. Her pilothouse, main salon, galley, aft cabin, and crew quarters have all of the structure in place and most of the finish work done, but there is some left to do. The fit and finish of the woodwork throughout the vessel is good but needs some attention to detail to bring her to top-notch condition.

With total accommodations for sleeping six or seven, the aft master stateroom has a full-size walk-around queen with a head. The aft head has a full vanity, sink and tile-walled Jacuzzi tub. The forward stateroom has a Pullman-style twin bed and a separate head. The main salon is huge and includes the galley, settees, another head and nav station. Most of the galley cabinetry is in place along with a three-burner propane stove and oven and large coldplate chest fridge and freezer. The laundry room on the starboard side has a built-in washing machine. The opening ports, which are at eye level, and the opening deck hatches are all installed. The diesel engine and generator are in place and operational…as are the bow and stern thrusters. The fuel tank, fresh water tank, grey water tank and waste tanks are built in to the bilge and are also fully operational. There are no spars, standing or running rigging or sails.

With all this being said, she is a very large and well-built yacht. Over 12 years of building is behind the owners on this project who have decided to sell for personal reasons. There is a great deal of opportunity here for someone who is interested in completing this marvelous ocean-going vessel.
