This vessel is in exceptional condition for her age and usage and has been very well cared for. She is one of the finest you will find in Hawaii in this size and price range!
According to the live-aboard seller, all systems are in good working condition.
+ This is a very clean, bright, well decorated boat, both above and below deck!
+ The dodger, bimini, sail cover and full boat sun cover are all in great condition (new in late 2014.)
+ All woodwork below deck is in very nice condition, including the teak and holly sole flooring.
+ The interior upholstery is in good condition and very bright. The settee covers are a little worn but still nice.
+ There are no known leaks on board.
+ Sunbrella covers for rails and winches are in good condition.
- Sunbrella cockpit cushions have rarely been used.
The only known issues are:
- The engine mounts are somewhat corroded. Spare engine mounts on board can be installed.
- The engine temp gauge is not working. The sensor will need to be replaced.
- The knot meter transducer paddle wheel for speed through water indication will need to be replaced at the next haul-out.
- The 30 gallon holding tank in the aft head is installed and working. Forward head holding tank has not yet been installed because it has not been needed. The forward head is working but is overboard pump only.
- The microwave is older and will most likely need to be replaced sometime soon if used regularly.
The seller has all original manuals and all maintenance documentation.

Below deck, the main salon is clean, spacious and brightly decorated.
The dinette area consists of port and starboard settees with a center-line mounted folding table. The port settee converts into a double sleeper for two guests, while the starboard sleeps one.
Forward of the salon is the v-berth with dual access headroom with a marine head, sink, and mirror.
To starboard mid-ship, the galley is very spacious and well equipped with plenty of counter space and storage. Along with a NovaCool refrigerator, there is also an extra-large 12V DC icebox, dual basin sink with hot and cold pressurized water, a Hillerange gimbaled 2-burner propane stove with oven, and an Emerson microwave.
Directly across from the galley is the navigation station, which would also work well as an onboard office. The companionway aft of the navigation station leads to the engine room and main stateroom.
The main stateroom has a full-sized double berth with recently upgraded memory foam mattress and an en suite private headroom with a marine head, sink, vanity, mirror, and bathtub/shower.
The woodwork and cabinetry are very impressive and in excellent condition. All of the countertops, sink basins, and faucets in the galley and both heads were replaced in 2014/2015. There is also teak and holly sole flooring and LED lighting throughout.
With seven opening hatches in the deck, 12 opening ports, and two fixed windows in the cabin, there is plenty of natural light and airflow below deck.
Anyone wanting to continue to live aboard in Hawaii or just relax at the dock will appreciate the Dometic Marine air conditioning system, which keeps this beauty VERY COOL, easily maintaining 66 - 68 degrees F during the hottest days of summer. With the full-length Sunbrella awning up, it alone can easily keep the boat's interior 10 degrees cooler! The Dometic Marine Air unit also has a heating mode if desired.
The 44HP Yanmar diesel has low hours, starts easily, and runs smoothly. It's in remarkably good condition, especially for its age. The most recent diesel inspection was in 2018.
The desirable center-cockpit design has ample cockpit seating and storage as well as a spacious aft deck which would be perfect for a large sun pad.
She is sailed regularly and all sails, standing rigging, most of the running rigging, sail covers, dodger, bimini, etc. appear to be in good to very good condition.
All lifelines were recently replaced with the hardware being lifted and resealed.
The deck is very solid with no soft spots and the non-skid paint looks practically brand new.
Significant upgrades since 2015 (+/- $40k Value) include:
-- Dometic Marine Air Conditioning system

-- Fuel Gauge Installed
-- Fuel Tank Access Ports Added
-- Magma Grill included (not currently installed). Has some spots rusting but works.

There are two freshwater tanks holding a total of 215 gallons. There is also a hand pump filtration system in the galley (the filter will need to be replaced.)
There is also a direct-connect water hose connection with an over-pressure regulator, which can bypass the water tanks to directly use shore water, meaning tanks do not always need to be refilled. The condensate drain sump for the Air Conditioning unit also serves as a secondary bilge pump.
All of the thru-hull valves are Marelon valves, which is significant because Marelon does not corrode.
Extras include:
-- Several miscellaneous spares, including engine mounts and window seals/gaskets for all hatches/windows.
-- Some spare mooring/anchoring lines and sheets/halyards.
-- All life jackets and pillows/cushions on board.
-- Sunbrella covers for rails and winches topside as well as the helm.
-- Cockpit cushions (rarely used.)
The headroom is approximately 6'2"-6'4" throughout.
Please Note:
-- There is no electric windlass; The anchor system is on a roller.
-- There is no bow thruster.
-- There is no GPS.
-- The last haul-out and bottom job was in 2015. Although she is due for another haul-out, the bottom is cleaned and checked every month and is in good condition for its age. The zincs are replaced every 3-5 months.
-- The standing rigging has not been replaced in the past 10 years, which will come up as a recommendation on any survey. For near coastal and inter-island sailing, it has been deemed strong and sufficient. For any long-distance voyages, this might want to be inspected more thoroughly and possibly replaced.
*** The owner is also open to delivering the boat to neighboring islands or outside of Hawaii with a per diem and expenses covered. Please inquire for details.***
