Needs a new Bimini top, and camper canvas. There are some cracks in the vinyl cockpit bench seat. Most vinyl side panels have been replaced/recovered, but one panel on the port side and one on the starboard side have not yet been replaced, and they have some cracks in the vinyl. Windshield wiper blades need to be replaced. As far as I know, everything else on the boat works; although I have not tested the fresh water system, generator, heating or air conditioning systems.
The price is reduced for quick sale because I am moving to Virginia (nowhere near water).
Previous sale on this boat fell through due to transportation issues.This boat is in the water, tied up to my dock in Solomons, MD.Transport and/or delivery is entirely the buyer's responsibility.
