Hopefully the old saying once a Brat always a Brat is still true. I would have bought a third CD but have a huge project I am working on right now so I had to settle for something more basic. A serious cleaning, buffing, some paint work and what not but should be fun on the water. Looking to build some seating for the cockpit to make it into a day/picnic style of cruiser. I'd like to design the seating to then fold flat for a weekend bed platform. Who knows where this one will take me.

Is that a Sisu?
 
I have been chasing a Sisu 22 that was likely a scam and saw this boat. Too much work for me but a huge deal.

The same hull as the "new" Rosborough Cape Breton...I believe. Looks as if you have quite a find..!

Have you thought about back to back sleeper seats. I have them on my boat. You can also leave the one inclined to use as a lounger. Not the most comfortable to sleep on, but,,

Would love to see more pictures. What year? Power? The original Sisu was a displacement hull powered with a small diesel. As outboards were added and more power - the hull characteristics slowly changed to the semi-displacement design of today.

Yes it is a 1981 Sisu. Very heavy built boat, 150 hp Johnson reported to have only 500 hours. No tabs, no electronics to speak of. My plan is to add U shape seating and turn it into a picnic cruiser for my business. Canvas to run to the end of the cockpit some tunes and enjoy. Came with a galvanized trailer, fresh brakes and hubs.
It was a solid buy as most didn't know the brand here on the West Coast and I got it for just over the value of the trailer. Disgust
 
Just a note to wish you well with the rehab. "Sisu is a Finnish word that means stamina, fortitude, and guts”. I'd sure like to have a "picnic" on that vessel some day.
 
The boat in the link appears to be a 2016 model--Is this just an example? or actually the boat you purchased?

Thanks
 
Does this make you a second Rosborough owner ?

I'm sure you will enjoy the labor of love bringing the "old" girl back to the present.
 
Used and put away wet. The new one was just an example as to what I am aiming for. Sort of two times Rosborough as they now own the molds. It’s more than likely a temporary boat until I get my current building project done and then can focus on a CD 25 or Ranger.
