I would like to see the pics and may be interested. Who was the builder?

Hi Sean, sorry it's taken me a couple of days to get back to you, I've been wrapped up in the Christmas hoopla. I just want to shoot you a quick reply about the builder and such. I will have to go look at the title for spelling and verification but I'm pretty sure it was I. Hingeman. Many people insist it was one of the early Libby boats. I'm going to try putting some pictures on the site here. I hope it works.

Have a good Christmas-

Lynn

These are all a couple years old, I'll try to get a few more plus some of the inside, etc.

I have gotten a new boat, therefore the Floretta has to go. I am not interested in owning multiple boats and so I am willing to "choke" on a some money and take much less than I had hoped for this boat. $10,000 and it's yours!

Is the Floretta still available? What is it's beam? Where is it located? Thanks, Peter

I believe the beam was 15', or it might have been 13'; I'll have to check.. Being an old hull it is rather narrow for it's length. It is still available and it is in Petersburg. I would like to get 10k for it but would take offers at this point.

Thanks Lynn. What is a good cruising speed and at what engine rpm? Do you know how much fuel it burns at that speed? How slow can it go... at dead idle with troll gear in the water, what is the speed? What is the reduction gear ratio? The diameter of the propeller & shaft? What is the capacity of the fuel tanks? Thanks for your help with this information. Peter
