We took this boat in trade for a new Beneteau 41.1 and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean it was�shows amazing care! We know the history well since RCR sold and commissioned it new in 2012. First owner kept the boat at the Youngstown YC (Lake Ontario) and current owner kept it at RCR Buffalo (Lake Erie). Both owners had RCR professionally service and maintain the boat since it came from the factory. The Simrad electronics are excellent, including a new Simrade Evo 2 chartplotter with upgraded chart chip and masthead wind unit just installed this fall 2018. The below deck autohelm performs very well, much better than a wheel pilot. Comes with a custom steel cradle and fully framed winter cover.
