It is with great excitement that we would like to announce that Skinny Dippin’ is officially on the market!! The first step in buying our second boat is selling the first boat. With that being said, if you, or anyone you know is currently in the market for a well-kept extremely economical Sundeck Trawler w/ Single Diesel Perkins 135hp with stern thruster, let us know.

This is the perfect size for a cruising couple or a single-handler. With a single stateroom (galley V-berth does convert to sleeper, but is not a private stateroom), single head with large shower, large salon and galley down configuration, she offers a lot of space for a boat her size. In addition, without too many systems to leave you stranded, it makes her also a very good boat for people new to owning a larger-format vessel. With a full keel, the prop is well protected. Perfect for the inland waterways and the shallow areas of the Bahamas.

Skinny Dippin’ has taken us from Manteo NC to Georgetown SC and all ports in between. Coastal cruising or doing The Great Loop, Skinny Dippin’ is ready and willing to go. Our 2009 survey listed her as above average. Since then, we have taken great care keeping her up while adding a lot of useful and needed updates and upgrades.

We have operator and owner’s manuals for practically every piece of gear onboard. This also includes the engine’s owner’s guide, maintenance manual, and a full parts list. All of this documentation is printed and sorted and organized in binders. We will also include the maintenance log book that records all major (and much of the minor) work done back through the previous owner AND the original blueprints from the Taiwanese boatyard that built her.

This boat this very well-kept will not last long on the market! We are happy to show you the boat at your convenience during any upcoming weekend. She is conveniently located at the New Bern Grande Marina at the Doubletree Hilton in New Bern, NC.

A complete upgrade of fuel management system (including a fuel scrubbing circuit).
