I knew I saw the same boat advertised, but it must just be a broker listing it up that way?
the reason I like that 40 is because its set up for tall decks, includes stellings, and is 99.9% factory. I’m a sucker for all vintage paint, upholstery and such.

I have been in this boat, it is clean and a LOT of boat for the money. Pretty new trailer to if I remember.

I am a sucker for period correct stuff, but honestly not a die hard fountain guy. I’m only really a fan of a few select hulls and their all the integrated swim platform later boats. Post 1988..
