For those who demand "Best in Class" Kindred is Your Only Choice
New Bow Thruster 2024
With its tall bow and flowing sheer - the Wilbur 34 hull has been a distinctive and admired ride among down-east aficionados for decades. Its exceptional build quality and finish made it highly desired - but unattainable for most. Now, however, in comparison with what passes for an alternative among the comparably priced boats this may represent the pinnacle vessel in the beauty/dollar continuum.
This mostly fresh water boat spent its life in Wisconsin until the current owner brought her to Maine in 2011 and rebuilt the engine and extensively replaced or updated the systems. Herreshoff interior with mahogany trim. Complete and thorough update and refresh of all systems over past 10 years. It was freshwater kept in WI for 30 years plus two summers in Maine. Second owner brought her to NB in 2012 and finished a complete update. "Kindred" has been stored inside most every winter by the three owners. There has been non-stop and thorough care in the form of rebuild, replacement and refresh of all systems over her lifetime. "Kindred" is in exceptional condition.
Don't deny yourself the opportunity to own the boat you always wanted. Call to make an appointment to see your next (and perhaps last) ride.
