Engine has never skipped a beat.

Economical cruise is 27-30 knots @4,300rpm, but you can run 3,800-4,600rpm for no change in km/L consumption, just a change in speed. Tops out at 44 knots.

Just had the holes in the foredeck from the original winch repaired as well as a number of minor gel coat chips.

Anyone who knows about Caribbeans knows that these things are a weapon.

They're no-longer in production with International Marine selling the rights to Maritimo earlier this year and Maritimo not building any models under 27 feet.

Spent the first 4 years of it's life on the hard stand at St Kilda Marina till I bought it in December 2021. Since then, I have significantly upgraded it and it has lived in a locked, insulated shed ever since.

The only issues are that the storm cover and side clears aren't the best from it living in the sun for 4 years, but I haven't felt the need to replace them in the time I've had it.

Listed elsewhere.

On water tests by negotiation.
