Vessel Description
Once in a "Blue Moon" a quality built vessel comes along on the used brokerage market that creates excitement amongst the cruising crowd. "SEA CAT" is a fine example of such a boat!

Accommodations

Broker's Remarks

The main salon is accessed from the cockpit.

The oven propane tanks are located aft in transom compartments. Opposite to starboard is the pilot berth. Forward of the pilot berth is the chart table, desk and drawers. Further forward in the main salon is the centerline mounted teak folding table with port and starboard cushioned settees. The port side settee and dining table converts into a double berth. Further forward is the master Vee-Berth with a hanging locker to starboard and the head facility to port. The enclosed head is equipped with a manual flush toilet, vanity with sink, mirror and shower. The interior is finished with oak hardwoods and veneers, while the deck soles are teak and holly planking. The insurance survey performed in March 2004 listed the fair market value of the vessel at $52,500.00 and replacement value at $135,000.00.
