Broker's Remarks
As with most trawlers built in Taiwan, the Albin has a beautiful teak interior, and plenty of teak trim on the exterior. While the teak interior of Bittersweet is in very nice shape, the exterior woodwork is ready for refinish. Bittersweet has seen little use lately and with the owners change in plans, she is reluctantly for sale. A nice performing trawler with twin Volvo diesels, she is ready for new owners. Call me to arrange a viewing.
