Boat is in excellent condition, ready to step aboard and leave. We have upgraded the yacht (approximately $100k) over the past two years, and she presents in outstanding condition for her age.
The boat has a brand new Panda 5kVA Generator, which links to the newly installed LiPO battery and solar system, allowing for complete off-grid sustainability.
She will be out of the water from 17 - 22 October at the Boatworks, Coomera, for annual maintenance--an ideal opportunity to inspect her.
