While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
Condition:
This vessel has solid fundamentals and just needs a bit of TLC. The bow pulpit has a crack that will need repair (see photo), and it's due for routine bottom maintenance. A few minor wood‑trim touch‑ups are also recommended, including small chips and cracks that can be easily refreshed.
Owned and cared for by the same seller for the past 20 years, she has been consistently upgraded and maintained. She features a chartplotter, 300 gallons of freshwater capacity, 180 gallons of fuel capacity, and a reliable turbo‑diesel engine for strong, efficient performance.
