This particular Sea Sprite is by far the cleanest and original example I've ever seen. It looks like it just came off the factory floor. The original beige tinted topsides are perfect and shiny, the brightwork has coats of Epifanes and are perfect, the interior teak and holly floor and cushions are as new. Serenade has a red boot top, blue bottom, off white hull and non-skid deck, making her a very classic looking boat. More pictures and specs will soon follow once the Winter cover is removed this Spring.
