Broker's Comments

This yacht has been painstakingly updated for true cruising.  She burns 5gal/hr total while cruising at 8kts.
She has a new electrical system, large refrigerator, fantastic ground tackle, new canvas and isinglass, and the stove and oven have been converted to propane. The generator has been removed, however A/C is available dockside.  
It's easy to recognize that this motor yacht is owned by a multi-year sailor. She is ready to cruise the islands and provide live aboard comfort. She's roomy and comfortable. I was especially impressed with the small details that are the result of an owner that has "been there" and understands the easy life.
This boat is a true value.  The only item that hasn't yet been addressed due to the owner's change of plans is new navigational electronics. That means you can install your specifically desired system.
