Boat History

By way of background: She was first purchased (August of 2012) on the Delaware River in NJ in 2012 as a 2011 "leftover." After a short first season with just 12 hours on the engine the owner winterized and shrink wrapped her and tucked her away for the winter. That first owner never relaunched the boat. She stayed in the shrink wrap on shore until she was put up for sale in 2015. Next owner bought her in October of 2015 and had her trailered to Southport, NC where she was stored in the St. James Marina dry stack. She has been professionally detailed annually and thoroughly washed and cleaned quarterly since coming to NC. Owner had the Garmin nav and comm package installed in 2015. In 2017 owner brought it to Bellheart Marine Service to service the Merc. Verado, add a new Oil Cooler Module, install the raw water washdown system, the second battery, battery switch and battery charger. She has run flawlessly since then. Owner had the upper and lower unit serviced once or twice in the last few years. New owner brought boat to Annapolis a year ago and keeps the 24 on his lift.
