Does anyone own a small Roamer (especially the 25 footers or less)

Travlinman1352 · 08-08-2010, 09:38 PM

Thought I would start a thread for the small roamers. 30 feet or less (especially the 25 Footers). Would love to see pictures old, new, restorations in progress...etc. Thanks in advance for your input. (mine is the one at the bottom...in serious need of restoration).

Don't forget to keep pics at 640 wide or less.

Keep working on her. We will be looking forward to seeing the progress.

Yachtsman Bill,
I am scared that the only thing left after pressure washing would be the hull! I will try to add some updated pictures soon. Regards, Travlinman.

PS. ScotL, Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry about the pics. Thanks for the correction.

I am almost done with the 27' and I am looking for the next project. I think a 25' with twins would do the trick if anyone hears of one available. attached is my current project. Chrome is back on, next comes the water, just in time for the end of summer.

We are moving our 36' Roamer to the yard where that 37' aluminum convertable is that you want in Chicago..ws

Maybe there are other 1958/59 25' Sportsmen out there, I have #12 of 15 made. Last week we loaded her on to the trailer. http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/at...1&d=1281844337

Thanks for the replies. I would love to see more of the restoration photos Rapple and DougP. Those are some beautiful boats. Wild Bill what do they want for the 37 footer? Thanks again for everyone's input. Safe Sailing, Travlinman.

No idea right now, but I am assuming it'll go pretty cheap. Its a beautiful boat but is a complete project, much the same as "Baby Miller" is! ws

We are restoring a '58 28-foot Express. It originally had 327 cu. in. Nash V-8s. Photos are posted at http://imageevent.com/shaggy/roamer

My parents had a '59 28-foot hardtop Express with six-cylinder engines. They sold that boat in 1988. I'd like to know where that boat is now.

In the 1980's there was a third 28-footer at Lake of the Ozarks. Don't know where that one is today.

I've seen two, rough 28-footers elsewhere on ebay. One fairly recently:

I finally got the comet in the water this year. Nice to have it out on a Sea Trail. Lots to do yet, but nice to be out. The hard top needs to go on yet, but lets have some fun 1st. Ray
