Quality construction from a timeless name of an era of American built motor yachts. The spacious three-stateroom design was considered ideal for her size. Master aft, with walkaround berth. Guest stateroom with twins. Forward stateroom with bunks. There's plenty of space for all cruisers. The wheelhouse is open to the saloon, with French doors leading to a roomy aft deck sunroom. Don't forget the walk-in engine rooms. These twin 435hp Detroit’s will spin her in place, and the additional bow and stern thrusters makes it easy to pull up to any dock or slip. A Timeless Classic.
