I have come upon a 1985 Benneteau First 435
for sale. She has been upgraded in
electronics (2008) and has a
water maker that hasnīt been used yet. She seems well kept but the owner told me she has gone some structural modifications. Her
keel has been alongated and her
rudder cut short to match the
depth of her fin
keel when up. I would like any of the friends comments or any insights you can give me on this
boat before making a decision to buy her. The
price agreed upon as this stage prior to
survey is $55,000. What say ye
Thanks
Ron
