HULL/ Entire Exterior: From the waterline to the top of the hard top it has three glass smooth coats (12 gallons @ $350/gal.) of Awlgrip, polyurethane paint professionally sprayed ($19,000 plus materials). I wanted to change the colors from the white hull with blue canvas (seen in some of the before pictures to show other details) to a modern tan with gold stripes and beige canvas. Also the paint is so much better than the original gel coat in that it maintains a high gloss with little maintenance and never gets chalky like gel coat which requires constant buffing and waxing.

Bottom and Running gear: The bottom has three coats (9 gallons @ $160/gal.) of new bottom paint and all new zincs in Feb. of 2011 ($2700). The cutlass bearings were also replaced and Props were checked for pitch and computer balanced ($2300). Propeller shafts are a very sturdy 2" stainless steel.

Feel free to call me at 262-210-9797 and I will be glad to give you more information. You may not e the brokers sign and the video gives his name. I have it in writing that if i sell it he will not earn a commision. Should you decide you would like to work thru him this offer will not apply as he has it listed for $169K and will earn a commision.

 I live in Wisconsin and have not been able to get there nearly as often as i had planned. So after all this time and money spent i have decided to sell it and let someone enjoy it as it shopuld be rather than sit there like all the other "dock Queens". If you are local and would like to see it i can  arrange a viewing with my local caretaker.

Will consider partial trade for any real estate but preffered on gulf coast with deep water slip or coastal property in Costa Rica. Will consider partial trade for other items of significant monetary value such as air plane, exotic cars, smaller boat Luxury motorhome etc. tell me what you have and what you think it's worth.

SHIPPING: For European buyers, i have gotten a quote several months ago to transport the boat from Florida to the Medeterainian (Spain) of $43,000 USD. This shoud give you an idea of the cost to transport it to that part of the world.
