Listed at $14,500 but sellers are very motivated. NavMan and Simrad auto-pilot are at an additional cost.
If you're looking for an affordable, well-equipped cruising boat that can keep up with the big boys, this may be the boat for you. The Ericson 28+, designed by Bruce King, is a fast, stiff and comfortable cruiser with all the interior room of a 35-footer, in under 29 feet. This means you can cruise in comfort, race on the weekends, yet save thousands every year in slip fees.
This three-owner boat has been well maintained, is super clean, and has a rebuilt Universal 11 HP diesel (2007). With a range and oven, hot and cold pressurized water, huge comfortable berths and all the interior room of that 35-footer you've been eyeballing, your friends can join you for a day sail or a weekend away in comfort and style. She sleeps five adults comfortably, plus one child on the port settee.
With a very tall rig (and large sails) for a boat of this size, she'll take off when other boats are bobbing in the swells. Wide side decks and genoa tracks set well inboard means you can get to the foredeck easily and safely, and sail closer to the wind than many other boats in this size range. This is truly a sailor's boat.
Tres Amigas II is berthed in a slip in Newport Beach.
