Esperanca has been exceptionally well cared for by each of her owners - and it shows. With continual improvements and thoughtful upgrades, including upgraded Garmin 8600-series electronics, she is truly turnkey and ready to cruise.
Her interior has been tastefully updated with upgraded flooring, plush carpeting, and refreshed soft goods that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Having been stored predominantly on Lake Washington, she presents like a vessel you would expect to find in a freshwater environment.
She is also a proven Alaska veteran, and her rebuilt 6V92 Detroit Diesel engines have only 1,700 hours. Her highly regarded three-stateroom, two-head layout is considered one of the best in her class. Combined with a rich interior finish and a massive cockpit, she makes an exceptional cruising platform for couples or families alike.
