Accommodations and Layout
"Pleiades" is not your typical late 80's convertible. In fact with
her impressive exterior paint, new EZ2CY enclosure and timeless great
lines she is as recent and fresh as almost any new boat. Her interior
has been redone and updated to match with a brand new sectional sofa in
the salon, updated audio and visual equipment and a stunning galley
makeover. Her two stateroom, two head (both with stall showers)
arrangement is functional and spacious and there are all the comforts of
home including a stackable washer and dryer!
"Pleiades"
had an entire revamp of her air conditioning and heating systems in
2018 to include new compressors, evaporators, controls and relays.
SMXir digital controls were added and a new raw water pump for the
system was also installed at a total cost of over $12,000.

Vitrifrigo Dual Stainless Steel Drawer Style Refrigerators and Drawer

- Shower sump pump and discharge hose replaced (Dec. 2017)

Hull, Deck and Construction
In June of 2018 the owner of "Pleiades" had the boat hauled and soda
blasted removing all of the old bottom paint build up and addressing any
blisters that the boat had. Six coats of barrier coat were applied and
two coats of Trinidad SR ablative bottom paint on top of that for a
fresh, smooth new bottom! (Cost of $12,081.76)- Cutlass Bearings all done in 2013
Electrical System
"Pleiades" had a new Northern Lights 16kw Generator installed in
February of 2018. All new exhaust system for the generator as well as
muffler were installed. The parts cost on the generator and sound
shield alone were $22,590 and with the exhaust work and install you are
talking an improvement to this boat of over $25k.
