22,000 lb. displacement for blue water
Marine plywood cored decks, no balsa or soft spots

Complete refit in 2008-2010 including ALL systems, wiring, plumbing, tanks, paint, portlights, hatches, and rigging.
$100k of work in 2020 including custom galley and barrier coat (Pettit system with Interlux Pacifica Plus antifouling).
$20k in miscellaneous work in 2022 to get her ready for extensive cruising. She is ready to cruise the world and will come with all necessary safety equipment and spare parts, etc.
All maintenance has been done for the season.
Fully set up to be a liveaboard if desired. Convenient walk-through with aft stateroom that has a queen size bed, its own head, and even a real shower/tub. Even has a washer/dryer and dishwasher!
No expense spared and everything has been done right. Wiring all done with marine grade tinned copper and all thru hulls properly bonded. Hose clamps are true 316 SS. All AGM batteries (3-8D Lifeline house, 2 Lifeline Group 34 thruster, 1 Engine, 1 Genset).
All systems that have saltwater run through them are flushed with freshwater and salt-away after each use, even the ACs.

Things that need attention:
Teak trim and toe rail could use some brightening/oil
Lower teak rub rails need some work
Starboard side paint around the mid hull has worn through to the gelcoat due to fenders rubbing
