Our Buddy was for sale. SOLD

Buddy is a 1998 LSV Rosborough Sedan Cruiser equipped for extended cruising. We purchased her 10 years ago from her first owner. The boat when ordered new was minimally equipped. The owner told us he had spent 1 night on the boat in 12 years. We proceeded to fully equip the boat for cruising adding new electronics, a new over-sized refrigerator, a propane furnace, new upholstery, all new canvas and screens, a solar system and many more additions.

Trouble is, although Buddy is turnkey cruise ready, after 40 years of cruising by boat, we are not cruising anymore...If you review Buddy's blog you can see our improvements and cruising adventures. Following is a partial listing of added equipment in the last ten years:

Screens

During and since the recent Rosborough rendezvous at Burnt Store Marina in Florida, a number of folks have inquired regarding Buddy's screens.

They are fabricated with Phifertex screening and heavy-duty truck vinyl.

From the following photos note the outer edge of the screens are snapped to the interior sidewalls. Recalling installation from almost 10 years ago, I do remember having to grind a few of the snap screw ends down because of the thinness of the side walls of the Rosborough. In order to mount the screen on the port side door, it is necessary to remove the seat. We have found wiping the screens with dryer sheets is an effective way to ward off mosquitoes and noseeums.
