Ask Marcy Lynn about the Immersive Tour!

Bob Harris, a pioneer in the world of multihulls designed this incredibly strong, solid catamaran. She is built to last with Airex rigid foam core enveloped in thick layers of hand-laid fiberglass.

Long narrow hulls with a wide beam, she has an incredible amount of living space inside and on deck. Mechanical propulsion design is a single engine with two hydraulic outdrives. With reinforced hulls, skeg rudders and secure deck fittings, safety is well designed.

She needs some TLC, allowing for an incredible opportunity to own a vessel of this size for the price. Current owners have enjoyed 34 years of living on the water.
