Island Gypsy Europa

1982 Island Gypsy 36 Europa, Hull #50

This vessel is equipped with twin reliable and economical Ford Lehman engines (80hp each, 3k hours) and a Westerbeke generator (8 kw, 2k hours/recent reman electrical end). Extensive mechanical and systems work has been continually done in recent years. She has great bones and is in need of cosmetic work, to be done to a new owners taste!

The boat has been used regularly and has always been in a covered slip since purchased by her current owner (last 10+ years). If youre looking for a mechanically sound vessel that can be used and enjoyed while addressing the cosmetics on your own schedule, this Island Gypsy is a great option! It is also very well prepped as a live-aboard or for extended cruises.
