Additional Salesperson's Remarks
"Big Dog" was re-powered in 2002 with Daewoo 10 cylinder engines. The Daewoo is essentially a 10 cylinder 800 HP MAN engine. In 2004 she underwent a complete mechanical refit, including all pumps, wiring, lighting, air conditioning, console and refrigeration system. This boat has great range and is an exceptional sea boat. She cruises effortlessly at 27 knots. She is sure to either meet or exceed your expectations! Owner has priced her to sell and may entertain trades.Vessel Walkthrough
