Going tomorrow to look at a 48' Maple Leaf
Center Cockpit boat. She looks to be in beautiful shape. Year is 1974.
Price $97,900 We are told the
current owner bought her last year, upgraded
electronics ($30K), put in a
water maker (never yet used), new
electrical, new
plumbing....lots of upgrades. His intention was to circumnavigate. Unfortunately, new owner suffered a
health setback and won't be able to realize the dream. Hence, the
boat is now
for sale. I've been looking online and have found generally favorable comments about this year/model, but wondering if anyone on the
forums has direct experience and can offer comments/reviews on the strengths and weaknesses of this model/year.
Survey was done in 2019 by
current owner. So that's another question - would you still get your own
survey or rely on the one done last year? Our intention is to move aboard after a couple of months of getting to know the boat and take care of landside business, and then set out to sea the world. Thanks in Advance.
