General condition:
Mechanically, this unit has been well maintained and presents very well. It is obvious upon inspecting the bilge areas. In April 2025, elbows, manifolds, and turbos were replaced.
In terms of aesthetics, some updating work may be considered, although this unit remains in very good condition for its 36 years.
Exterior:
The hull and superstructure show no particular issues. The gelcoat has some minor surface crazing marks on the thinnest parts; otherwise, after polishing/buffing, the boat will regain a nice glossy appearance.
Interior:
The boat is well maintained inside, with original carpets still in good condition and protected. The upholstery has been well preserved.
The kitchen area is in good condition, although the sink shows some deterioration that should be monitored.
All paneling is in good condition. There are no signs of detachment or water infiltration.
Mechanical:
The engine compartment is very clean. It is rare to see units from the late 80s with such clean and dry bilges. The engines look very good visually. No significant leaks or corrosion have been observed. Both engines start on the first attempt and showed no abnormalities during our inspection. Major mechanical work was performed in April 2025, including the elbows, manifolds, and turbos. The antifouling is scheduled for early July.
Electronics:
The boat is equipped with many devices, though most are now outdated. The autopilot and VHF are still operational.
