No outside teak.  This boat is very easy to maintain and very economical to
cruise.  Just returned from a 622 mile round trip from South Louisiana to
Orange Beach, AL area with actual fuel burn of 197 gals and run time 81 hours
for a fuel burn of 2.43 gph.  Trip was slowed by 6 lock openings, current in
the Mississippi River, bridges and no wake zones so average speed was 7.68
mph.

Manufactured by Gulfstar in the US, 1981.  Designer is R Lazarra, Length is
38', 45' with swim platform and bow pulpit.

This boat is fully equipped and ready to do the loop or just cruise in your
area.  Being sold to move up in size as my cruising family is growing.  Wife
and I have been cruising comfortably, often having another couple with us.
Boat is set up with forward double berth, head and shower.  Aft stateroom has
a very full double bed with head, shower and tub.  Plenty of storage
throughout.  Galley has microwave, apt size frig/freezer, stainless sink, new
Princess 3 burner electric stove and oven.  Drop down galley table makes up to
a double bed.

Boat is a real head turner.  Everywhere we stop the boat draws attention as
the light yellow hull with black trim and white decks and cabin is very
attractive and different from the typical all white boat.

Boat is being offered without a broker at this time.  Price without broker is
$89,000 firm.  Increase in price will occur once listed.
