1978 26' Wasque "MARISOL"
There's a reason the Wasque remains one of the most respected classic Downeast designs. Built with solid construction and clean, purposeful lines, this 1978 26' example delivers the timeless look and practical performance that boaters along the New England coast have valued for decades.
This particular boat has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded over the years, making it a more reliable and comfortable platform than many of its peers. Key improvements include a new turbocharger in 2018, a new steering arm in 2019, and a teak transom platform installed in 2021, fresh batteries in 2026, and fuel polishing with tank cleaning completed in 2025.
Whether you're looking for relaxed day trips, coastal exploring, or simple weekend getaways, this Wasque offers classic style. She's a solid, character-filled boat that's ready for her next chapter.
