41 ft Canoe Cove Power boat for sale
Description : 18 Apr, 2023
Description BC Ferries purchased Dogwood Princess II which was built by Canoe Cove Yachts, to Transport Canada Passenger Vessel construction standards in Sidney BC. (now named Ava Marie) in 1979 to replace the original vessel and to expand capacity on its route. Dogwood Princess II only operated on route 13 (Langdale - Gambier Island - Keats Island, BC). The vessel had its original Twin engines replaced with 2 more powerful Volvo engines to increase operating speed. Along with the new main engines, BC Ferries spent a fortune on new wiring, HDPE tankage, plumbing and batteries, etc , etc.
Route 13 was an outlier in the BC Ferries system, being a passenger-only route with no replacement vessel readily available should Dogwood Princess II need maintenance. In 2003, operations were contracted out to Kona Winds Yacht Charters, who operated the route with their own vessel Stormaway. BC Ferries then put Dogwood Princess II up for sale asking CAD 86,000, and was sold to the current owners father, a few years later for CAD 66,000. The owners father then installed all the NEW equipment currently onboard that has hardly been used, if at all.
*** ***** 2 BOATS FOR ONE PRICE, INCLUDES AN 11'-6" Boston Whaler centre console skiff with 20 hp outboard.*****
Potential vessel use options:
a) A liv-aboard vessel, ready now with all the new equipment, nothing to add.
b) A bo of ship's crew or general personnel transport vessel, by adding one Port side row of double seating for 10 - 12 or more.
c) Floating office and bo: Yacht brokerage office...kayak..small power & row boat...rental offices...etc etc etc..
d) Remove and sell all of the galley equipment and counters plus the couch. Install Port & Stb'd seating for a larger personnel capacity.
e) Return to CDN ferry service, (was certified for 38 passengers as a ferry) or investigate USCG small passenger service and / muter vessel standards. This vessel is still registered with Transport Canada Ship Registry. The only changes from the original passenger vessel standards are the life raft removal, and galley installations. See BC Ferries passenger vessel exterior brochure photo in this listing.
f) Mobile marine retail supply vessel: I started on Great Lakes bulk freighters at age 18 in 1965. We hauled bulk grain from the head of Lake Superior, then named Fort William to Lake Michigan, and up the Calumet river to unload in South Chicago. Retail supply boats, then called "Bum Boats" came along side so the freighter crews could buy a huge variety of personal supplies, instead of going up town in a taxi $$$, or couldn't get off watch in time. Technology today makes this even simpler.
English Bay in Vancouver BC, always has at least 15-18 freighters at anchor waiting to load and unload in Burrard Inlet, along with 7 additional anchorages there. There is a serious retail opportunity in many Ports for a new and creative Ava Marie owner, to "think outside the box".
I am sure Seattle and many other US anchorages on the West coast have even more vessels waiting to load and unload.
