This 53’ boathouse is 24’ wide and located in the Oyster Bay Marina in Ladysmith.
The door is 14’5” high. The cutout is 39’4” long and 15’4” wide. The cutout has been modified for a smaller boat with a large deck at the front of the boathouse for a table and chairs. The original cutout is 47’4” and can be put back into its original form for a larger boat.
Made with corrugated aluminum siding over 2X6” framing with solid wood planking. Electricity is supplied with 120 volts AC power via a 30 amp plug-in connection to a dockside receptacle protected by a 30 amp dockside master breaker. A flexible insulated cable led from the shoreside receptacle to a domestic breaker panel inside the structure which included a single pole 30 amp breaker and 15 amp single pole breakers. Insulated and secured solid core wiring connected the breaker box to AC receptacles and overhead light fixtures. It comes with a poly-curtain on an electric roll system with a remote control. There is an electric fence along the cutout to prevent otters.
The full cut-out has been covered to make a large deck at the front of the boat house that has a table and chairs to make this a great spot for spending quality time with your boat. It is perfect for a 32-40’ boat with the existing deck. The cut-out can be enlarged back to its original size of 47’4” and a much larger boat can be accommodated. As well, there is space to raise the curtain roller and door entrance height.
The current moorage can be assumed and is $1077.50 per month based on a quarterly payment contract.
Ladysmith is a desirable location to start your cruising from as it is in the heart of BC’s Southern Gulf Islands and their famous protected waters. Inside the Salish Sea and all major passes, there is no need to go through Dodds, Porlier, or Active Pass when heading out to Pirates Cove Marine Park or down to Montague or Sidney Spit. It’s a short 6 nautical miles to Thetis Island for fuel for the boat and the captain and crew can enjoy the pub/restaurant.
