[Lexie Palmore]

Our Graceful Ghost was never inspected as we figured it would never pass, but the new owner was forced, by extenuating circumstances, to get an inspection. For some unknown reason, they passed the boiler inspection, with a few modifications. The CG must have gone easy on the new owner, although he had to do some serious, but needed, hull work, mostly for stability. I never, never had any desire to make that boat an inspected vessel, it was not built to be a tour boat, but we made sure it was a safe boat and applied as many of the regulations to its operation as we could.
