Why buy this boat?

Everything that needed doing has already been done. New toilet system, new carpet, renewed engine manifolds, and a hull that's serviced fortnightly-monthly by a diver — this isn't a project boat, it's a boat that's ready to enjoy the moment you take ownership. Add in genuinely excellent low-speed handling from the duo prop stern drive, and you've got a boat that's as easy to live with as it is to look at.
