Broker's Comments
This is a very popular American sports cruiser. This little used example is a great starter boat and the V8 motor packs some real punch that will have you grinning, ear to ear.
It has the full camper pack and a US spec road trailer.
The boat has plenty of space, a well laid out cockpit with what the Americans call an "Entertainment Centre" - ie., a fridge for your beer and a sink.
The boat needs a good clean inside and then she will sparkle.
Open to offers.
This boat has been viewed and photographed by Steven of Boatshed Falmouth.
