$300,000.00 TO REPLACE THIS FRESHWATER ONLY BENETEAU 381 IS A STUNNING VALUE ! ! Further she still qualifies for 15 to 20 year financing as a 2nd home.
Almost 13' wide with the two cabin one head layout, this Beneteau 381 originally purchased from a Tennessee Beneteau dealer she has light use/low hours (only 250 hrs approximately) and is a "FRESH WATER BOAT ONLY", thus represents a much better value as pre-sailed boat than any Saltwater similar competitor. The interior shows the lack of use and is complimented by the wonderful headroom to accommodate a 6'7" crew. She is a great sailing boat, but makes a great weekend cabin too.
TAKE A LOOK @ THE PHOTOS!!! More to come !
And then there is the equipment which includes a dual Air Conditioning / Heat set up, huge bimini, Autohelm 6000+ autopilot, manual windlass, in-mast furling, huge V berth with extra stand up room and uniquely has a "hiding" vanity w/ pressure water (great for guest), battery charger and, refrigeration. So, look @ all the other 381's available and you'll find this 381 your best purchase.
Originally located @ in Nashville, Tn., she is has been relocated to Watts Bar Lake in East Tenn.and is still centrally located to assist in easy transportation regionally or nationally. With only a 50' mast height, she can be motored down the Tennessee River to the Tom Bigbee Waterway and on down to Mobile without taking the rig down. Or if it suits better, we stand ready to offer you a turn key purchase by delivering, launching and rigging this boat with our own "air ride" equipment within reasonable distances. Just let us know what works best for you.
Come get this wonderful high quality Beneteau 381 while interest rates are taking a pause. Interest is in most cases deductible as a second home tax deduction. Lowered from 82,500, then to 77,000 but the owner is READY TO GET HER SOLD BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF JANUARY, thus the reduction of pricing down to ONLY 67,750.00 for this lovely FRESHWATER, LOW HOURS, with in-mast furling Beneteau 381 !!

Spacious interior with a large "U"shaped settee with lowering table for making into another berth on the Starboard side with a double settee on the port side in front of the galley. This is a single head/shower version and rather than 2 modest aft berths she has one Very Large aft berth with entrance on the portside just aft of the galley. The built-in double Air Conditioning/heat certainly is a delight. The comfort of this 381 Beneteau is tremendous.
The "V" berth is a large 79" x 49" berth and includes a vanity under a shelf on the starboard side. The Charter version of this boat included another full head/shower where this vanity sink is located but it would greatly limit the forward Berth size. This verison would be prefered by most sailors.
The galley is also spacious and includes good storage, a Microwave, Propane stove with oven. Lots of elbow room for a good size person.
