$3,000 Price Reduction!!! The sellers are ready to deal!!!!!
You will not be disappointed in this sturdy 26' RK vessel. She survived "Hurricane Sandy" that blew thru on Halloween in 2012 that damaged so many vessels up in the Northeast. She was on her double axle trailer when the storm hit and a number of other boats caused damage to the "lifting" keel along with some minor cosmetic damage. The owners trailered "Lil' Penguin" to the factory in Stewart Florida in 2013 where they replaced the damaged keel with a new and improved version and repaired all other blemishes. The upgraded version allows the skipper to control the keel lift from the cockpit.
This vessel is essentially a 2010 version of this fine sailboat. A new head foil was installed in 2015 and the 2 stroke Yanmar diesel engine with less than 500 hours pushes "Lil' Penguin" at hull speed. A double axle Magic Tilt trailer with surge breaks is included in the sale.
Check out the many additional extras that are included in this price.
