Description
Purchased new by a large yacht owner for his personal use in the Florida Keys, NEXT CHAPTER is newly offered for sale. All agree the four Mercury 600’s are the preferred power on this ultimate center console. Although the model has a very high level of standard features this particular boat can be considered a “High Spec” version with an equipment inventory that needs nothing added to fish or cruise the day you take delivery! She has been full time captain maintained, has low hours with engines and bottom just serviced March 2025.
Aggressively priced and lovingly cared for.
