She and I have done the great loop twice, 1st time single handed, single engine and no thrusters means you help the boat go where it wants to go, it’s a dance. I loved to anchor out. She sips fuel, my first loop, 1489 gal, about 1100 eng hrs, 1.35 gal per hr. Her hull speed is what it is, you can make more noise and burn more fuel but at 15 to 1600 rpms you’re good. You can’t out run the weather so you plan. Doors on both sides of the helm aids docking and locking. The prop walks to starboard in reverse, a thruster. I got her with some cosmetic water damage mostly from window leaks. With protected prop and rudder I never worried about or ever hooked a crab trap, and when you run aground just back right off, most to the time! (Get the tow insurance
With some outfitting to meet your needs and some peace of mind mantenance this boat is ready, I chose this because I wanted to do the loop, knowing I would be without much or any help, also I wanted to be frugal, I am selling her because I am not going around again and it makes me sad to let her sit or become a fish camp.
