Other Californian boats for sale in Tennessee, United States

This Californian is in impeccable condition. The last 2 owners have taken pride in their ownership updating both the interior and the exterior. She has been kept undercover, in fresh water, on the Tennessee river throughout the last 3 owners and in Chattanooga specifically since 2016. She is a great size to Liveaboard but not too big to take around the "Great Loop". Current owner bought a lake house so no longer needs a Motoryacht.

She has 2 staterooms and 2 full heads along with a generous Salon area. She is powered by twin CAT 3208TA's. If you prefer outdoor space she offers a large aft deck area and flybridge seating area. Current owner update her enclosure to canvas and acrylic valued at over $30,000. New Bridge Upholstery, and a full deck rail "pet guard" valued at over $7,000. A marquipt tide ladder is included for easy boarding in any docking situation. Electronics are dated but are reported to be operational.

This boat is one that should not be missed.
