Gorgeous boat! Looks like it would be awesome on the drift. Love the top. Staying out of the sun is my #1 priority offshore. I just captain and watch others catch the fish. With that top I wouldn't have to wear my stupid looking hat!

She is all wrapped up and winterized and waiting for a new owner.
I hate to let this boat go but owning 3 boats and being the sole caretaker is getting old and so am I.
I'm open to reasonable offers.
Thank you.:)

I don't know this boat. Great looking though. Is that a lazerette hatch in the aft floor? Assuming "yes" to get at the bilge, but can't tell if it's storage or just access.

Spring is on the horizon. Fuel prices are on the rise. My Fortier 26 with its fuel miserly Yanmar 4LHA-STE 230 diesel is waiting for someone.

Spring is here and this beauty awaits someone who is wise enough to realize a great boat with a super, very low hour engine.
Open to reasonable offers.
