SOLD! Time to let it go... 1986 Freedom 30 with Recent Repower

BOAT HAS BEEN SOLD. What they say about it being the 2nd best day of boat ownership isn’t always true. We will miss our boat after 17 years of great sailing. Hope to do a few charters in the future.

My 70 year old back is telling me it’s time to stop sailing. The timing isn’t great for me but the new owner will like it. I recently repowered with a Beta Marine-20 with high output 70 amp alternator and new instrument cluster (only 67 hours on it), and put on a new mainsail this past Spring. It’s a boat we sailed and kept maintained as a boat we planned to use a couple more years. The 1st thing I did after buying the boat in 2006 was to move the engine controls to the binnacle as they were in 1987 forward. Contact me for more info /pics - rlhiggens@gmail.com (9196964227), I will do my best to give honest answers/replies as I would hope for sailors dealing with sailors! Boat is located in Oriental, NC
