Broker's Comments

I absolutely loved this boat when I was welcomed aboard. I think her spacious layout is just fantastic! Her condition appeared to be good too. An early 80's boat the owner tells me she was actually only launched for use around 2005. She feels very safe to walk around inside and out and would be the most amazing live aboard - washing machine, well equipped galley two huge bedrooms and a jacuzzi bath. She has only been ashore here for a couple of weeks. You can enjoy the space and comfort with friends, live on her, or use her for corporate entertainment. The

She certainly is a lot of boat for her money.

Owner comment:
I have completed quite a bit if work since owning her to include. New sea valves, sea water strainers, full engine servicing, new rubber hoses on both engines. New cutlass bearings and anodes. Restoring teak decks. There really is too much to list.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
