1996 Shamrock 260 Express

This boat is owned by one of the most veteran boat owners I have ever known. The seller has owned this boat since 2018. They purchased it from me after decades of owning and sailing sailboats as a light pleasure boat to enjoy during the winter months. The boat gets used but has very light use. 

The boat is a direct drive inboard and she is currently kept in the water. She runs well and performs wonderfully even in rough water but is mainly used on pleasant days. She was re-powered in 2010 and has very low (well maintained) hours. Time has made the inevitable choice that the couple needs to get out of boating and have decided to part ways. Selling this boat may be a sad day for them, it will be a sad day for me as well. 

The prime opportunity to buy this oat is now, while it is in the water and has easy access. If not sold, sometime in May she will be put in storage for the summer season. By it now and maybe get the slip as well.
