Due to work & busyness of life, it's time to see her loved & used for what she was designed for by someone else.
Beautiful racer/cruiser in overall good condition, but does need some elbow grease & standard marine maintenance as every vessel requires every few years for her to be top notch. For any interstate interest, current marina location has excellent facilities, shops only five minutes walk away and the benefit of being the only marina that allows staying on board both in the water, and while out of the water. No need for hiring external accommodation unless desire otherwise. This series has a passionate following which is great for tips & help for upkeep, modifications etc. Vessel is stock standard. All Beneteau & electronics manuals are onboard. Get yourself a quality racer cruiser & cruise away or enjoy inshore or offshore racing with a very competitive racing pedigree. Priced accordingly,
