Broker's Comments

This appears to be a good example of the ever popular Westerly Centaur. These boats have a fabulous and well proven track record as sturdy coastal cruisers and make great first boats or upgrades from smaller craft.

Being a bilge keel she is also great for exploring up rivers and estuaries as she can easily take to the ground.

Her general appearance and condition appears to be very nice for her age.

The current owner has maintained her well in the time he has owned her and she has some nice upgraded electronics onboard. An engineer by profession, he has documented all of her upgrades over the years in meticulous detail and has written several guides, including wiring diagrams and "how to guides", all of which are kept onboard and will be extremely useful for the new owners.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
