ONE owner for the last 27 years! Gulf Course has always been in fresh water and her Caterpillar 435 HP engines only have 1350 HRS - She has the optional hardtop, NEW Canvas in 2026, extended swim platform, newer Garmin 7612 GPS/ Radar, Robertson Autopilot, Horizon VHF, Microwwave/Convection, and the best part - a Quasar TV VCR which makes her the coolest Tiara on the Great Lakes . CAT Technicians will have her out SEPT 2026 for sea trial tests and oil samples so peace of mind will make this a stress free buying process. Currently located in Chicago and a pleasure to show.
