1948 Stephens 48' Raised Deck Cruiser

1948 Stephens 48' launched in August of 1947 as the Deborah K and later renamed Scheherazade.  Repowered with Detroit 653's.  Flying bridge added by original owner in the early 1950's.  Unique custom interior as ordered from Stephens.
Some reconfiguration over the years but retains much of her originality.
I have been living aboard for the past 7 years during an ongoing restoration.  Numerous frames sistered, reframing of saloon windows, etc, etc, etc.  Over 100K invested but there is still about 25K in work to do (less, if your skill level is high).
Large saloon, forward V berth stateroom with head and shower, galley aft of saloon (with unique "non settee" woodwork), aft stateroom with head, aft cockpit.
Port orford cedar on oak frames, teak decks.
Currently lying Pt. Richmond in transferable liveaboard slip ($600)
Asking $50,000.
