I see from your other posts you are repowering with electric. Cool. I just misunderstood, but had to ask.

They are called trail boards. (scroll work under the bow) and yes the later years where actually molded into the hull, I would cut them out with a saws all if molded in to get a set. The mold in design change started some time around 1978 on the DE38's.

Scott is parting out Valkyr and has a set that bolts on. He has them off the boat but has not posted them yet. I think his intent will be to take bids for a week and high bid gets them. They are worth a lot to me it would complete the look of Paper Moon properly. My only other alternative is to fabricate them. There is a post on the site from the owner of Britannia that outlined step by step how he made a set for his DE45 They look almost original. That will be my last resort.

Color scheme will be Sundown Bluff to match rail on the outer bullnose and swirl. Relief Oyster White, matches deck areas . Scroll face Ocean blue to match the stripe.

The DE32 trail boards are not boards. You mean the "scroll work" under the bow, right. On the Downeaster 32's, those are part of the fiberglass hull mold, not removable, in all years of manufacture except maybe the first year, in which there were only a few boats made. For those which did have attached boards, they would be much shorter and smaller than the DE38. They are definitely worth having since they give so much character to the boat. I will be repainting mine soon, maybe I'll use gold on blue. Also I have a gargoyle which I have always wanted to mount right under the bow as a figurehead, facing forwards and snarling.

Not parting out my boat, but doing some very large upgrades. Soon the Universal diesel engine, transmission, filter housings, alternator, raw water pump (Oberdorfer), and many other engine components will be for sale too.

Are you parting out your 32?

Does it have trail boards on the bow? Should be the same as the 38, but not sure.

I'll be removing my propane stove-oven from DE 32 Oasis at some time in the near future. It is the factory stove, still in working condition, and actually in very good condition in general. A set of fiddles might be included! I dont know how many people read this forum these days but if someone wants to buy this stove, send contact info and we can agree on a reasonable price. I don't know how much it weighs so consider how it might be picked up.

I also have 2 propane tanks which fit into the DE32 propane locker. They are round, upright tanks. Size is 5 lb maybe? I'm not sure what size they are because, the DE 32 uses these unique tanks. I will give away the tanks for free "or nice donation". These tanks are steel, 15+ years old, I repainted them several years ago, they have rust spots, be aware any such tanks are probably way out of certification spec, I don't even know if they can be refilled by a gas station. One of them has propane in it. Obviously I won't ship them. Pick them up in Southern California. So reply if you would like these.
