Owner’s Comment:

‘This is a US built boat so very different to the Taiwan trawlers no teak decks or window frames. The windows are hardened/laminated glass set like on a car in a rubber seal and as far as I can see leak free. The decks are plywood core and have not found any bouncy bit same applies to the superstructure. The only teak is hand/cap rails and doors.

She is by no means perfect but I have dealt with the important parts such as tanks, seacocks etc. and is constantly chipping away at the cosmetics. Good on fuel and with large tanks she has about a 1500' range @ 7 Kts.
