Broker's Comments

This is a 1988 boat in okay condition with very low engine hours for a boat of this age. She has had two major overhauls in the last decade.

In 2004/5 the original engines were replaced by two Volvo Penta TAMD75LEDC turbo charged diesels with electronic engine controls. A new Onan 7KW generator was also installed at this time. The saloon furniture was also upholstered. Stern AND bow thrusters were added at this time making the yacht highly manoeuvrable.

The second big overhaul happened in 2014/2015 when the boat was acquired by the current vendor. All the sea cocks were replaced. She was anti-fouled and anodes were replaced. All fire extinguishers were renewed. Air conditioning units were serviced and re-gassed.

This is a great boat for someone who needs live aboard space and a fast boat for Med cruising in absolute comfort and luxury.
