MAJOR INTERIOR UPGRADE COMPLETED MANY MORE PICTURES AVAILABLECall.

River Queen has been substantially reconfigured with a large wood paneled bar and lounge on the second level eliminating the upper galley. Stone backed wood burning stoves have been added on both levels and upgrades to the first floor galley includes new floor tile. The exterior has been totally refinished and new thermo-pane windows installed. RIVER QUEEN has three 4-71 Detroit Diesels one driving the 100 Kw generator and the other 2 running the split paddle wheels through hydraulic motors. With pneumatic controls for both throttle and shift the vessel is fully controllable from the raised pilot house; a bit of a challenge but a absolute thrill to run. The hull and machinery are sound. It would be difficult to recertify for commercial operation but well equiped for personal use. Owner will consider attractive financing package for very well qualified buyer.
Accommodations
There are two levels plus the raised pilot house. The lower level is carpeted open area approximately 28x 50 formerly used for dining with a galley forward on the port side.
