this one has larger twin C12 engines with less hrs than a similar aged Selenes, but Alaskans lack opening windows which I am concerned with (we anchor out mostly)...... Happy cruising!

If I were buying a boat now I would focus on boat type first and then find one that was continually used by the prior owner who had an open checkbook for repairs, improvements and preventative maintenance. I have learned that low hours alone can be a hidden liability. Our Marlow is great—now—after spending about $250,000 or so to get it perfect. Twice what I expected.
