Not the greatest pictures, but beggars can't be choosers.

"Powered by FWC Twin Volvo 230 cu.in. 170hp engines and Volvo-out-drives adds to your performance and your lower maintenance cost because the engines aren't being over worked and are more economic to run and maintain.

With 731 hrs, these engines are plenty fresh for years to come. Would expect 2,000 hrs with good maintenance, so if you cruise 100hrs/yr (National Average is only 50!), you will have 12 to 15yrs of Northwest cruising time ahead on these engines. "

An amazingly original Alwest 370 ! (Except for the structure on the forward deck, the stove and the engines)
For anyone interested in what the original interior looked like, there are many more pictures on the linked site.
Certainly a near sistership of Catherine Ann. Not likely a 76 vintage . . . . . more like 71/72.
This vessel must have lived in a covered slip for most of its life, to be in this condition after 35 years.
