The boat was sold in Sept 2018 but I’ll leave this here for reference…..
If I were to sell the boat for parts I could easily get $50k so I'm asking 49k. She's a strong sea going vessel and proved herself cruising to Mexico and back with very few problems. I hate to see her sit. Boats need to be underway and she loves to sail.
