1976 Marine Management

Designed and owned by renowned powerboat racer and boat design influencer Jim Wynne, WYNWARD was Jim's personal yacht. Jim founded Wynne Marine, a firm specializing in the design of powerboats, yachts, and commercial vessels. Designing models for more than thirty manufacturers, including Carver, Chris-Craft, Cobalt, Cruisers, Inc., Donzi, Grady-White, Hatteras, Larson, Stamas, and Trojan, Wynne Marine has been acclaimed as one of the most influential independent design houses in the boating world. WYNWARD is a spacious trawler and all-weather comfortable cruiser designed for serious entertaining and fishing. Jim lived aboard for eight years and did extensive cruising in the Bahamas and the Florida Keys. Her current owner purchased her in 2017 in Ft. Lauderdale and made many unique design features and custom improvements to ease maintenance and enhance livability. She is powered by twin GM 8V-71 N Detroit Diesels (325 hp) that were overhauled in 2005. She sleeps 4+, in 2 staterooms with 2 heads and 2 showers. The full-beam Main Salon is open and unfinished, with the option to have an L-shaped settee or dinette. There is a full Galley with a full-size fridge with freezer, a microwave, a coffee maker, a washer/dryer, and plenty of storage. She has a shallow draft of less than 4 feet and keel with propeller pockets offering excellent protection for the running gear in shallow water. SO WHAT'S THE DEAL? The current owner has relocated out of state and wants to leave it to the new owner to customize WYNWARD to their liking. WYNWARD is a well-kept, well-loved, example of a twin diesel, flybridge live- aboard cruiser in need of some TLC. She is a Project Boat, sold as is. Mechanically she is sound and all systems are "a go", but she is in need of a new owner with a creative eye, willing to roll up their sleeves and finish unfinished projects (carpentry, fiberglass repair, paint, etc.). She is on the hard in Newburyport, ready for finish work. The owner is MOTIVATED and just dropped the price. This is a tremendous opportunity for the right person.
