Broker's Comments
This boat was originally a Contest 46 that had an extended transom professionally fitted to provide a swim platform increasing the overall length to that of the Contest 48 at a cost of 50.000€. There were substantial improvements in 2018 including a brand new Volvo Penta D3 engine, bow thruster, generator, sea cocks and some electronics.
A blue water cruiser with a lot of very comfortable accommodation below complete with a full galley and convertible saloon.
A beautiful yacht with very significant recent improvements.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Offers on the asking price will be considered.
