Boat has been in heated and humidity controlled storage for 8 years. Engine has been removed so we could install a new diesel. Some seems have opened up from the boat sitting and will need to be addressed prior to launch. Vessel is in otherwise great shape and was always a pleasure to sail.

Boat is on a trailer and we will deliver anywhere in the US for our cost. Trailer is not included in price.
