Overview
Once in a great while a boat comes to light that has been truly kept "under wraps" or "in a time warp". "Carpe Diem" was purchased new in 2005 and then kept in a shed until March of 2015. She has been upgraded and kept in sterling condition. All new Garmin upgrades in the last month! Upon arriving in Ft. Lauderdale she received bottom paint, new bearings, prop reconditioning, and wax on her gleaming flag-blue hull. This is a "no-apologies" boat! Her gelcoat, varnish and teak are OUTSTANDING! This boat is "TURN KEY!"
Vessel Walkthrough
After entering the cockpit, it is two steps up into the salon/bridge deck. She features a long L-shaped lounge to port with a wet bar/icemaker/storage to starboard. There is a custom teak drop box over the sink for the aft salon TV. The helm has a Stiff helm chair with all electronics and controls within easy reach. The salon/helm deck has an open back with Eisenglass enclosure, two opening side windows, two top hatches, and a center opening windshield. Rod storage is overhead.
