Full of factory amenities, as well as recent improvements and maintenance upgrades, she is ready to be dropped in the water or left on hard until next season. Mechanically speaking, the Volvo Penta 8.1 Gi engines are sitting at very low hours (approximately 370 each) with standard maintenance performed regularly.

New batteries back in 2023 help to fire the engines up and the upgraded dripless shaft seals ensure a dependable and smooth ride. Other recent updates and improvements include new full canvas (2024), new plugs and wires (2024), new zincs and anodes (2024), new holding tank vent filters (2024), new forward and aft head toilet seals (2024), and rebuilt forward and aft holding tank pumps (2022). Up on the bridge you will find a beautiful layout including an L-shaped lounger surrounding the captain's chair, starboard co-pilot chair and helm station. There is a nice wet bar area and ice maker for entertaining and even more room to roam and expand on the aft deck just a couple steps down. Continue into the cabin where you are greeting with a gorgeous salon, equipped with a leather pull out sofa as well as a love seat. Relax here and enjoy the entertainment center, or continue into the galley, which is fully equipped with a 3 burner electric stove, a microwave, a refrigerator and freezer, a built in coffee maker and plenty of storage! The separate dinette with even more storage is a wonderful space to sit down and have a nice bite to eat. The forward queen stateroom has plenty of storage and closet space, TV/DVD, as well as direct access to the main head with shower. The aft queen master stateroom has even more storage, TV/DVD, and its own private full head with shower. Amenities to help round out this beauty are central vac, 3 zone heat and A/C, a low hour Kohler generator, and bow thruster to make docking and launching a breeze!
