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

Where do you start on a boat like this...The time and effort the owner has put into this boat is unbelievable. From the moment you see her you can tell she is unique. Owner improvements are normally frowned upon as it often means the have added flickering neon lights above a home made bar in the saloon, this is defiantly not the case here.

The deck has been removed and a new coachroof put in place allowing much more space. The coachroof is spectacular with varnished deck beams and frames with white painted bulkheads and varnished hardwood locker doors.

With the new coachroof the heads has been removed from the forward cabin and placed in a separate heads compartment. There is plenty of cool storage available under the cabin sole, especially after the main cabin sole was raised when the new low-profile coachroof was built, all professionally made and fitted and is truly a work of art.

There is a detailed Inventory and details available upon request. A fantastic boat that must be seen to be appreciated. For further information give me a call.
