Scaramouche is a 1986, 36' Morris Francis that has undergone a thorough refit over the course of three lay-up seasons. She arrived at ZMI in relatively good condition. Her systems and cosmetic appearance, however, were both outdated and worn. After detailed conversations and correspondence with the owners, ZMI planned a multi-season refit that enabled the owners to use the boat between each yard visit.

Her refit included an engine replacement, from a 28 HP Volvo to a 42 HP Westerbeke, full Awlgrip application, including hull, deck and spars, ten coats of varnish to all weather deck brightwork, as well as new running and standing rigging. Additionally, her electrical system was upgraded, including a new electrical panel, charging system, AGM batteries and inverter. Scaramouche's improved appliances include both engine-driven and shore assist Sea Frost refrigeration, a re-insulated reefer, diesel fired domestic hot water and heat and a Spectra water maker.
