1973 Columbia Columbia 45

I’m selling my 1973 Columbia 45 (45 ft) sailboat. The boat is in good overall condition but still needs work, so it’s ideal for someone looking for a solid project / liveaboard / cruiser with many important upgrades already done. • Make/Model: Columbia 45 • Year: 1973 • Length: 45 ft • Engine: Volvo Penta 2003T diesel • Engine hours: ~800 • Condition: Good overall, needs work • Price: $14,000 (reasonable offers considered) • Location: Ruskin, Florida ⸻ Engine & Mechanical • Volvo Penta 2003T diesel – approx. 800 hours, in good condition • New diesel tank • New hoses for exhaust This is a very good base mechanically for someone who wants a reliable cruiser after finishing the remaining work. ⸻ Rigging & Systems (Big Upgrades Already Done) The boat has several brand new key components: • Brand new rigging • Brand new diesel tank • Brand new water heater • Brand new electric panel • New hoses for exhaust A lot of the expensive and critical work has already been done, which makes this a great value for someone who wants to finish the project. ⸻ Hull, Deck & Interior • Classic solid fiberglass Columbia 45 hull, known for strength and seaworthiness • Overall structure is good for its age but, as with any older boat, there is still work to be done • Interior has good liveaboard potential with plenty of space
