The Getawayis impeccably maintained, bottom cleaned monthly. Mechanically sound. The interior is as good as a brand new boat. It is very clean inside-outside. The outside does show some wear but has no leaks or cracks. A good detailingis all that is needed tomake the gel coat shine like new again.

The boat slip is paid until the end of march. After that the new owner can either pay for it andkeep it there ( it is a really nice covered slip in a great locationright downtown St Petersburg) or move it. I can also deliver the boat (by water) for an additional fee if desired($2/nm + gas).
