Prettiest boat I have ever seen. Good luck with the sale, asking price seems more than reasonable.

I absolutely agree. If this boat is still on the market in a year (I hope not for your sake) I would have to take it off your hands. I'm expecting a baby in 4 weeks, so no boat for me right now. When I am in the market, I hope that I can a boat EXACTLY like this one. If you often restore 24' Topaz's as a hobby, get one ready for me......to change things up a little, I'll take an all navy hull with a white boot stripe. Incredible boat.....thank you for posting and good luck with the sale.

1 more thing.....is it possible to finance an older boat or is it something I have to pay cash for? Thanks in advance. Still a great boat......

Any pics of the cabin?

CV,

The sunshade does fold for trailering/bridge clearance.

The slight prop-pocket keeps the draft at 24"

Thanks Contractor

Here's a photo of the cockpit. Clean & uncluttered. Rocket launcher (installed 6/2007) by Release Marine finishes it out nicely.

that is one bad a$$ rig. If i didn't by my boat a few months ago I would be driving to Palm Beach!

Have a friend in Sebastian that might love this boat. How do you get up into the tower? What do you stand on as the top looks to be tied on? Any pixs of the engine compartment shot from the cockpit...curious as to how much space you have to access the engine? Do you know who did the tower and how it's supported to the deck? Any pixs of the cabin? Did you do the restoration or did you buy already done?

Thanks.

I saw this boat today, Dorado Steve was bait fishing. I stopped to look at the boat and admired it. It sure is pretty!!!! Whoever ends up with this boat sure will be happy

Cabin has two full length V-berths with storage, porta-potti, & rope locker.

very nice, thats exactly what iam looking to scale down to, but its the same old story gotta sell mine first. and the market stinks.best of luck with her

Wildside

That is a great boat, I have a 24 bimini and I love it. These little boats raise fish better than any I have ever seen. We use mine for Tarpon fishing in Louisiana and Texas. Best of luck with the sale, it will make someone very happy. Some misinformed people are scared of Gas Inboards, I personally love mine. I am not bias, I also own an 08 World Cat 27te. What are you moving into?
