You don't see a boat like this every day. Kaholo is a beautiful turn key performance cruiser. She is hull number 83 of 86, which means she is not only a late model but, her interior was redesigned from the original J40. The engine is under the cockpit, and the navigation station faces forward. What also makes her unique is the modifications the original owner did at the time of build.
- Longer Rudder
- Deeper draft 7'11"
- Upgraded winches
- 3 Blade max prop
- White Formica counter and table tops with varnished teak (Interior is newly reupholstered)
- Please see the full listing for more information
A quote from the J40 owner's group "It's probably the best one out there for the Pacific coast in the 40' range. Someone who races would jump on it if they knew about the rudder/keel/weight.
Located in King Harbor
