Owner’s comments:
NOTE: * indicated a new install within the last two years.
- I have owned this boat from June 2021. Think this makes me the third owner.
- Upgrades (*denoted by*) and maintenance to the boat has been done by professionals –
RC Electric, Ocean Link Newport Shipyard and Oldport Marine.
- The boat was shrink-wrapped each winter
- I have removed the wine cooler and AC unit from the boat and have them stored at home. I never used them on a mooring and the machinery interfered with access to maintenance.
- The hull was repainted with Awlgrip blue by Newport Shipyard in 2022.
