For Sale: 1987 Beneteau First 235

[Island Time O25]

Boat: 1987 Beneteau First 235
Asking price: $9,900.00
Location: Nashua, NH
Viewing info: by appointment only.

Well maintained vessel. Tohatsu 6hp outboard. Two(2) Bene jibs, main from another boat. Will be installing new spreaders with special US-Spars "beef up" clamp as the original factory spec set up was iffy.

Makes a great starter or downsizer little fun vessel. Surprisingly roomy for 23footer. I used to own late 70s O'Day 25 and this F235 feels as spacious inside as that O'Day felt. This was the boat that launched the plumb bow craze so prevalent in today's models.

Standard draft of 3.8ft, shallow enough to gunkhole yet deep enough to point when reaching.

No trailer but I am looking for one and if found the price will be adjusted accordingly without the mark up on the price of the trailer. Heck, if I find the right trailer I may not want to sell afterall. The only reason I reluctantly put it up for sale is that it's in my friend's backyard and he does not want it there for long.

I got this boat with the idea to take it to and keep it in Florida but my sailing buddy there says 3.8ft draft will not be conducive to Gulf side exploration (nor a 23 footer with an outboard for Gulfstream fighting) and recommends that I get the swing keel version. So I am open to a fair trade if someone has a swing keel boat in 22-24 range and will consider swapping it for this one.

If interested in this boat PM me for viewing info.
