Comments
Originally built for an extremely avid boater “LADY BULL” is very well laid out for either an owner/operator or someone with full-time crew. She has benefited from three owners who have done nothing but care for her. She has been painted and received all new electronics in the last couple of years. Her current owner, after building her, selling her, and having a few boats in between, decided to purchase her again as she fit all the parameters as to what they were looking for. “LADY BULL” will not disappoint!
