A Timeless Classic: 1964 22' Deep V Shepherd Runabout "Shep 64"

Exquisite Restoration and Maintenance

"Shep 64" underwent a comprehensive restoration in Florida circa 2009, returning it to its original glory. The attention to detail is evident throughout, from the elegant hull and deck, re-varnished in 2019, to the transom, which received a fresh finish in 2021. The boat boasts both front and rear flagpole lights, a practical Bimini top, and a mooring cover to protect its pristine condition. Essential accessories such as fenders and ropes are also included, ready for your next outing.

Powerful and Dependable Performance

At the heart of "Shep 64" lies a robust 413 Chrysler Marine Engine, delivering an impressive 290 horsepower. This power plant is paired with a reliable V-drive system, offering smooth and efficient performance on the water. A new marine-grade 600 CFM carburetor was installed in 2020, ensuring optimal fuel delivery. The boat is equipped with two high-volume bilge pumps for safety and peace of mind, and its two-stage water pump was recently rebuilt. In 2023, the rudder shaft packing was replaced, further enhancing its reliability. "Shep 64" is a boat that loves to run, having been in the water several times every year, most recently in Spring 2025. The engine bay is fully illuminated and powered by two batteries, maintained by a dual trickle charger. The fuel tank was pulled and thoroughly cleaned in 2017, receiving a new float and sending unit at the same time, ensuring accurate fuel readings.

Luxurious and Thoughtful Interior

Step aboard to a beautifully redesigned and rewired gauge panel, a highlight of the boat's modernized systems. The interior features comfortable bucket-type front seats, complemented by a full-width padded dash. Ingeniously designed, the front seat backs feature beverage storage lockers and pull-down doors that cleverly double as small table surfaces - perfect for onboard entertaining. Every surface is finished in a high-gloss varnish, exuding an air of sophistication. The rear bench seat provides ample space, comfortably seating three to four adults. All upholstery is in excellent condition, reflecting the boat's overall pristine state.
