MY BETH is a fine example of a well-found, well-maintained Marlow Explorer. She has had many updates and all major systems have been serviced recently. The Flag Blue awlgrip hull, varnished teak exterior and soft goods inside and out look great. Even the engine room shows like a much newer vessel. She has been a captain maintained vessel most of her life and it shows. She can cruise at an efficient 8-10 knots or run 20-24 knots when you want to get there fast. Top speed is 26 knots. With 3 cabins with private heads, and overflow bunk over the washer and dryer and a separate private crews quarters aft she is ready to take the family and quests for extended cruises. A chilled water system provides comfortable, gentle air flow air conditioning and heating throughout the vessel, including the engine room. This 72C has the same interior volume of a 78E.
