She certainly appears to be in very good condition, her gelcoat is original and shiny, her rear hood was replaced in 2012 and her interior refurbished in 2012, her helm seats were removed and refurbished in 2016 and a new cooker was fitted in 2018. Her owner describes her as being great fun and very reliable with plenty of power for either gentle cruising or fast planing. Her owner plans to buy something a little bigger!
