I have been using the boat with a 15 hp but that is really too big so I don’t want to include it in the sale, bring your own 5-9.9 hp and be off…


Asking $5500 obo, $6500 obo with the trailer,

Will entertain reasonable offers and interesting smaller trades with some cash (i.e. compact 16, Victoria 18, skipper 20)…

This boat is a joy to look at and to sail, I wish I could keep it but I need to sell it so I can finish restoring my 1963 30’ allied seawind…

Boat is currently on a mooring in West Palm Beach, Fl, come sail it, you will buy it

For the seriously interested I have 200 something pics of the restoration
