  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Out of the market for the time being

Dear Mojo,

Great boat and wonderful deal for someone. For the next 2-4 years I will be out of the market while saving up for that full time liveaboard bluewater vessel for retirement.

Good Luck with the Sale.

Captain DJ
 
What a handsome vessel, and well sorted-out. Seems about perfect for anyone wanting to spend significant time under power outside the jetties.

These Beebe designs are inspiring, and Mojo is a great example of the dreams that sustain our Trawler Forum in the first place.
 
Man, for someone who really wanted to go places, not just up and down the ICW, this would be an ideal boat IMO.

Beebe said in "Voyaging Under Power" (1st ed.) that ideally you would have both paravanes & hydraulic stabilizers but if you could only have one he'd strongly recommend paravanes. Hydraulics could be added to MOJO fairly easily, plenty of room in the bilges.

Much of the interior is cherry, which we prefer (and is MUCH cheaper) than teak. But given the interior layout, there are infinite possibilities!

Cherry is good too. SMILE

Back to the original post, it makes me feel emotional thinking this little piece of history was designed by Mr. Beebe and part of his collection of designs. Who hasn’t been inspired by his book? I feel the same when I read Jimmy Cornell’s books in sailing. Those big men!
 
What is the thickness of the hull/cabin sides? Also, do you have any idea why the keel coolers were taken out of service?

Are the fuel tanks original? Material and thickness? Any issues with tanks, and do they have inspection port access? Thanks.

Looked up a Finn 8. Almost the same layout as MOJO. Just half as long. LWL envy. Or is this a case of Aussie humor ?? if it is well done !!

Really wish someone would buy this boat so I can stop drooling over the keyboard.

The keel is 1" thick plate. Bottom is 1/4" steel, hull sides are 3/16" steel, cabin sides and roof are 1/8" steel. The keel cooler was used with the original Cat 13000 engine (150 hp @ 1,200 rpm, air start). Previous owner swapped it out for a more modern Cummins 5.9 6BTA. The raw water pump on the Cummins won't move enough water to circulate thru such a large keel cooler so he plumbed the engine to be cooled by sea water but maintained the dry stack exhaust. If desired, the keel cooler could be recommissioned by adding a larger off-engine circulating pump, either belt driven or electric.

Fuel tanks are steel, are original and are integral to the hull. No issues with them. All are located below the waterline. Thickness is 1/4" steel. Inspection port on all tanks.

Thanks for the reply, but request two clarifications: 1) Is the engine cooled by the raw sea water through the use of a heat exchanger? ie; is there raw sea water, or an independent cooling system with only freshwater/antifreeze running through the engine?

2) Does the outside hull plate form one of the sides of any of the fuel tanks, or are they totally separate from the outside hull? Thanks! Scot K.
 
The engine has a heat exchanger so it is fresh water/antifreeze cooled - no saltwater running through the engine! The fuel tanks are integral to the hull so yes, the hull forms the curved side of the 4 fuel tanks (2 on each side). This effectively makes a double skin hull, i.e., if there was ever a hull tear along the sides due to severe grounding, hitting a container, etc., you would spill fuel but not take on any water.

Confusion here, if the outside hull IS the wall of the fuel tank, wouldn't it be the same thickness as the rest of the hull? ie; 3/16" or 1//4" if it is further down the hull? Not trying to be obtuse here, just trying to get a handle on the boat. I assume the different colored floor plates next to the engine come up, right? Do you have to remove them to service the engine? I am assuming there is no provision for the generator to be coupled to the mainshaft for a get home engine, correct. Probably a dumb question since the generator appears to be in front of the engine . . .
 
Yes, the hull below the waterline is 1/4" steel. That's where the fuel tanks are located so they are 1/4" steel also. Floor boards on both sides of the engine are easily lifted but essentially access batteries on the starboard side and the watermaker, sea chest plumbing, etc. on the port side. You do not have to remove the floorboards to service the engine. The generator is mounted in front of the engine so it cannot be directly coupled to the main shaft. But, it would be fairly easy to install an electric motor aft of the engine to drive the main shaft via the generator if back-up propulsion was desired.
 
Nice boat. One of my favorites here on TF.
 
That boat seems to built right. Potential buyers, don't let the fuel tanks scare you. This was the way all boats were built. skin tanks on one side, not unusual or a bad practice. Seems like a lot of boat for th money if this is your type of vessel.
 
A little confused here. Why would a lower flow rate be a problem when using the keel cooler? If too small and too high of a rate I get it but not the other way??
 
I would think the engine wouldn't come up to ideal temp if keel cooler area is too large. I'm sure owner will chime in with correct answer.

Thermostat should get it up to temp regardless. My guess would be that the pump can't push against enough head, so it wouldn't get enough coolant flow and either the keel cooler wouldn't be effective enough or the low flow rate would cause hot spots in the engine.
