This is a lightly-used and well-cared for 2004 Sun Cat, easy to handle solo but accommodates 4 in her large cockpit for a day sail with two cabin berths that are nearly 6-1/2'. The boat, trailer and all equipment weigh in at under 2,300 lbs making her easy to tow. It has a quick release mast and mast stepping is easily done by one person, as is launching and recovering. The boat includes a performance trailer and a Yamaha 2018 8 hp electric motor.
I am the second owner. I have sailed the boat for 10 years in the bay. It is perfect there because it is a shoal draft daysailer. I have used used her sparingly, a situation I thought I could change. Despite my intentions however, I have only managed to get her out a few times the last few years. I recognize I am unlikely to change and so she is on her trailer in my driveway on Long Beach Island in New Jersey.
I have kept the boat in a marina during the summer and my garage in the winter. My marina has done a fabulous job maintaining the boat. Her sail, sheets and rigging, as well as the trailer and outboard are in very good condition. Her bottom epoxy anti-fouling paint is in great shape; her hull is cleaned and waxed and the deck and teak has been cleaned and preserved and the brightwork polished. The outboard is electric, and barely used. Due to careful maintenance, the boat is in good shape and ready to go.
