Broker's Remarks
This is a great opportunity to purchase a great live aboard/cruiser at a very low price. The Sellers had purchased the vessel with the intent of completely refurbishing this well built yacht. They currently have spent $26,000 and have run out of time and energy. There are still things to be done for that person or persons that have the necessary time to make this into a first class yacht. Owners are anxiously waiting for offers.
