MARGARITA FOR SALE BRISBANE

Post by BobK »

We are moving up to a 35ft Cat and going cruising, so our pride and joy Margarita, Investigator 563 is up for sale. It will be available after our last trip whale watching in Hervey Bay at the end of September.

Margarita would have to be one of the best Investigators around and we have set her up for extended trips for 2 people. We have made many improvements to make the boat as livable as possible. This includes a custom made boom awning with forward and side zippered panels which provide good protection from wind and rain, and permits full height in the cabin with the pop-top up in inclement weather.

Nothing to spend and ready to sail. Lots of added value and worth a lot more than the price at $12,500 firm.

Spinnaker available for $500 (cost $800 new, 1 year old used once)or available separately.
