Beautiful boat. Good luck selling her. Any idea of fuel burn @ trolling speed and cruising less than 28?

Very nice. Does that tower fold? How much water does it draw? More pictures would be great.

I have seen this boat a couple of times in Palm Beach. If I wasn't stuck in my Shamrock I would buy it in a heart beat. Clean lines and sharp looking. Good luck with the sale

Very very nice! Just curious since I'm not overly familiar with this model, Is the shaft/prop keel protected? Approximate draft?
