has been lovingly maintained throughout her life.

etc and has a vast quantity of spares, even unto 2 spare propellers. |

Most impressive is the condition of the vessel, owned and
maintained by a perfectionist
who has stinted on nothing. The modest price of $220,000 bears no reflection on her
condition and equipment, and prospective owners will be subject to scrutiny.. NO DEALERSA
full survey was done and completed on 26.06.98, words like 'prime condition' sum her up. |
