The current owners have been exceptionally meticulous about maintaining the cleanliness of this vessel throughout their ownership, going well beyond routine upkeep. They have personally performed thorough deep cleaning by hand in the hard-to-reach areas where mold commonly accumulates on boats, such as inside the bilge, behind and inside cabinetry, the head and shower, and other areas that are typically neglected on most vessels. This level of hands-on attention is rare and speaks directly to the care and pride of ownership that has defined this boat's maintenance history. A prospective buyer will immediately notice the difference when stepping aboard.
