Totally awesome boat! A production built boat made brand new in every way; fresh paint, totally rebuilt engines by Performance Diesel, one of the largest MAN distributers in the Country. These engines have a one year parts and labor transferable warranty to June 2021. All invoices available.  all new electronics, interior and the list goes on and on.

This total restoration turned out so impressive, Marlin Magazine wrote a five page article on her (Feb 2019 Edition, written by world famous Dave Lear)!   

Ships paperwork includes invoices for all "New" items from Gulfstream Services, who did the total restoration, Fulton Yacht Yard, who did all the 2020 improvements and from Performance Diesel who totally rebuilt both engines. 

This restoration took over one year to complete...virtually a new boat at less than half the price of a new boat! And perhaps the best part, Both Engines have A One YEAR Warranty, parts and labor, that stared late June 2020. Full Year Warranty on the new Phasor 15kw Generator from June 2020.
