This is a two owner vessel that has is being sold to provide long term care funds for my 90 year old father. Solid boat that will be a great value to the right owner. This boat has made several journeys between Maine and Florida via ICW and has provided many good family memories. Now being maintained and used every season as long as my father is able to enjoy it. Located in Dover NH.

We will be asking around 100,000 USD for the boat when it goes on sale. This will be at a significant discount to appraised value. We are not in a hurry or desperate so will not be entertaining any lowball offers.

As mentioned, I will be updating this post with better and more detailed specifications, equipment lists and photos soon. In the meantime, any inquiries can be sent via email to bamossman@gmail.com

Hello Mr. Bamossman,

Nice looking boat!
And really great that you have been able to share your boating adventures with your Dad.

My husband & I would like to receive more specifics about your boat & also some additional pix. We have been looking for a Manatee for several months & have thus far not found the right one. Perhaps "Messing About" would meet our criteria?

Thanks in advance for your time!
