"GOLDEN GATE" is a very unique and special Hinckley. She is one of the original "picnic boat" style Hinckleys and has a lot to offer. She sleeps two in her v-berth with an enclosed head and galley down. On deck, she offers ample space and a nice layout for socializing and taking in the beautiful views. She has a very shallow draft of 18" allowing you flexibility and peace of mind as you navigate smaller water. She is a great opportunity!
