Pricing Reflects The Following:
. The Mansfield TXD Marine Sanitization device is likely no longer legal in the United States. It is unclear the tank's capacity (at this time) and ability to discharge. A good option would be to install a composting head.
. Paloma on-demand propane heater is installed and is no longer an ABYC device. New owner will want to explore alternatives for hot water.
. Like many boats of this vintage, some blisters exist on the hull. It is assumed these are cosmetic but need to confirmed by the buyer's surveyor. (See photo of part of hull for an example)
