Owner’s comments:

2026 Engine replacement - While cruising last year the previous engine's oil pressure sensor housing failed and discharged oil out of the engine causing irreparable damage. Over the 2025/2026 winter, local and reputable Yanmar dealer Oldport Marine Services, Inc installed a new Yanmar 4LV250 Bobtail engine.

NOTE: * indicated a new install within the last few 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.
