Regardless of age you won't find a better equipped or better maintained cruising boat in this size range than Drifter.

A new survey backed by receipts and logs shows a cruising boat fully equipped and maintained to the highest standards. Standing rigging has been replaced. Engine has been replaced. Watermaker refurbished just last year puts out an amazing 48 gallons per hour! 950 watts of solar power! Wind generator. 6 Trojan 6 volt batteries in house bank. AIS receiver and transponder and much more. The whole boat was re-wired in 2001.
