1989/2018-20' Custom Duffy
ASKING $ 69,000
One day, the caterpillar stops eating, hangs upside down from a twig or leaf, and spins itself into a silky cocoon or molts into a shiny chrysalis. Within its protective casing, the caterpillar radically transforms its body, eventually emerging as a beautiful butterfly. One might imagine the same story while looking for a Duffy.
A friend of mine wanted a unique Duffy with a Chris Craft flavor to it, he and Marshall “Duffy” Duffield traded thoughts then one day when entering the factory Duffy noticed an earlier 20’ laying on its side in an abandoned boatyard. This started the chrysalis cycle of this 1989 20’ Duffy later to be named “Our Fault”.
The boat was brought in from the hot high desert sun of Adelanto and placed on a cradle, not quite hung upside down but close, then wheeled through the large factory doors similar to entering a magic castle. As the doors slowly closed a large chiming noise was heard similar to large chains rattling or the sound of money being deposited into a slot machine.
The color of the hull is a custom burgundy red with a rich mahogany color blended into the hull producing this one-of-a-kind deep-grained finish color. A swim step was added along with underwater lights that produce a moonlit night reflection one can only find miles out to sea on the darkest of nights. Courtesy deck lights were installed along the boat's cabin sole with a blue tint projecting from the sound system speakers. This gave the cocoon a chilling glow as the boat went through its transformation.
Outdoor teak and holly decking then appeared from bow to stern, two custom tables with the aft table dropping down to a twin berth. The captain's chair, and helm council is fitting for Neptune, with a hidden wine locker within the heart of this vessel. The cushions are heated for cool December nights. One feels the custom sound system within which can awaken the gods while placing a shuffle to their feet. While shuffling your feet with the gods be sure to offer the proper child wine from the wine cooler.
The boat's trumpet can repel any unwanted borders while the anchoring system will allow for firm holding allowing for the eventual transformation into a beautiful “One of a Kind” vessel that commands the respect of any true yachtsman within our harbor.
When viewing the vessel please note the custom windows and surrey top. Don't forget to turn on the underwater lights before going up to dinner at your favorite restaurant. Your guest will be star-dazzled on your return to the boat.
