Miss Leap, as we like to call her, is solidly built, stable and steady. Her seaworthiness has been proven many times. They just don’t build them like this anymore. She’s heavy, (and slow) and extremely reliable. Fuel burn is 1.8 gallons per hour at 6 knots. She holds 300 gallons of diesel giving her incredible range.

70 gallons fresh water (poly tanks) with an additional 65 gallons if desired on the bridge.

40-gallon poly holding tank with macerator.

An assortment of lines, anchors, fenders and accessories are included in the sale.

Brand new 10′ RIB with 3.5 Mercury four-stroke also included in the sale. (August 2017)

Honda 2000 portable generator also included.

 

Kim and I have loved this boat since the day we took possession. We’d love to sell her to someone who would love her as much as we do. We’ve made many memories aboard, from the west coast of Florida, through the Keys, and throughout the Bahamas. If you’re seriously interested contact me at –
