Able to sleep 7 in original configuration. the v-birth is so large that it would sleep with all four of us when our girls were 1 and 5, and I was 6'3" 250lbs! Large comfortable cockpit with wheel steering. Nice size head with stand up shower!
Constellation 5" compass in binnacle.

We have owned her since 2004, but our two daughters will be busy with high school, so we have decided to let someone else enjoy her. We left New York on December 1st and just came back from the Bahamas, enjoying our last season on her. Currently the boat is in Ft Lauderdal, but we would be able to deliver her on the east coast for a small fee if time allows! If time allowed, I would not hesitate to take her back to the islands!!!!!

This boat is almost 50 years old, and has many dings and wear spots. The windlass needs to be freed up. The tranny took about 4 ounces of fluid in 200 hours of run time, while the engine oil stays between the lines on the dipstick! The hot water tank works great with the engine but we have never used the electrical element that is at least 15 years old. She had some broken tabbing and cracks in the cabin sole gelcoat from being improperly supported in a yard before we bought her, but the tabbing has since been removed and replaced with glass and epoxy so structurally the hull is stronger than new!. The deck has a couple of soft spots that could be be glued or relaminated, but by far the biggest project will be to caulk and repaint the exterior..... I highly recommend coming aboard and inspecting her for yourself. She is sold as-is where-is!

You must remove the boat within 7 days of the listing end.....

The large water tank, solid hull and good running diesel make this an excellent base for your future cruise! THERE IS NO OTHER BOAT UNDER 35FT THAT HAS THE CAPACITY TO CARRY 150 GALLONS OF WATER!
