The seller is the original and only owner of this boat. I love this boat and regrettably this is a forced sad sale – my age is my enemy and the realization that I am not young anymore.

General comment

This vessel is a strong, solid, stable riding and comfortably stable at rest. It is very suitable for extended sea trips. The seller used the vessel for trips to the reef and each trip was usually for a period of 4 days.
