Remarks
This boat is seaworthy and very easy to drive. She responds very well to the rudder and bowthruster. Due to her high bow the boat can handle open water and seas. In her past she has cruised the eastcoast.
The boat is a regretable sale due to my medical conditions. If required, the berth in the marine is available. Easy in and out of the pen.
