THIS BOAT HAS BEEN SOLD.
"KALEIDOSCOPE" For Sale
1994 30/34’ Custom Downeast Cruiser
My wife and I have decided it is time to move up. When we bought "KALEIDOSCOPE" we actually downsized from a Prairie 36', "Booty". If you know the boat she has massive accomodations for a 36 footer. Booty was the last Prairie 36' built and I cruised her between Florida, the Bahamas and New England from 1997 to 2001.
We went looking for the perfect small downeast cruiser, something with more speed and comfortable accomodations for two with occasional kids or friends.
"KALEIDOSCOPE" is an exceptional little cruiser that has been outfitted and upgraded by some first-class boat yards. She is more than a pocket cruiser. My wife and I have owned and loved her since 2002. We have cruised her from the Chesapeake to the Canadian border in Lake Champlain to Maine. We have been in some ferocious seas, we should not have been in and she never missed a beat. She is solid as a rock and has made a great cruising home for us for many long weekends and two week vacations. She is fast (by trawler standards), cruising comfortably at 13 knots, and economical burning only 12 GPH.
