Own this piece of Gold Coast history; the Makini Kai III is up for sale. This famous boat sailed the waters of Hawai'i for years, offering a charter experience like no other. Her sturdy frame and ladder off the bow allowed her to run aground on sandy beaches, pick up tourists at their resort, and take them for a beautiful cruise. Now it can be yours for a deal. Owned by the famous fiberglass craftsman, Ron Clark, he rebuilt her himself by hand, adding countless special features. From the plexiglass over the propeller shafts (you can easily give them a visual inspection) to the escape hatches on the bottom of the hull, to the bullet proof glass around the main cabin, he added custom touches all over the boat. With an owner's eye to getting it right, and an artists' eye to exceeding expectations, when he rebuilt the Makini Kia III Ron made her one of a kind. A beautiful main cabin features incredible hard wood finishes, a kitchen, and plenty of room for people to enjoy their time aboard. Old school ice bins will keep the ice frozen for a month of partying aboard. Two bunks below that each have a full sized bed, there is a head with a shower, and too much extra rigging, sails, and gear to list. She has been trapped on land for the past few years and will need some love to get her ready for her next task. But she's a solid foundation to make into your live aboard, world traveler, or a workhorse in your charter business. You are limited only by your imagination, this boat can do anything. Each of her Yanmar 4JHTE engines were rebuilt about 500 hours of operation ago and have right around 2900 hours of operation on them. They have been well taken care of and might as well be brand-new. The seller is motivated and she comes as is. She's on the Island of Hawai'i right now and her trailer could be part of the deal but is not included with the base price.
