Pearson Rhodes 41 $35,000 OBO

Pearson Rhodes 41
1963 - Hull #3

WHY WE MUST SELL:
We don't want to, but we have to. Cathy suffered a back injury and unsucessful surgery in the 90's. We were told a day would come when she couldn't handle the movement and such. We were hoping that day was years away, but it looks like it's now. So, after almost 3 years of living aboard and not as much cruising as we'd like, it's time before she gets worse.

We'll consider and and all offers. Will take motorhome in trade.

Wish I had know you were through Ocean Springs a few weeks ago! Looks like you got around fine, though. I also wish I could buy your boat! Good luck on your next adventure. Looks like a wonderful boat.
