The OSPREY has been kept on boatlift and has a modest but useful, air-conditioned cabin below with enclosed head/shower, galley, and V-berth with filler panels, plus an Onan generator.

Inside there is a V-berth forward with overhead hatch and two filler sections to make a full berth when wanted with a digital thermostat for the A/C on the side. A mini-galley has microwave oven, sink, and refrigerator with modest cabinets and a small settee across on the portside..Accommodations There is a V-berth forward which has a two-piece filler section to make into a full berth.

The chine has an extended lifting rail and the bow has the distinctive Carolina flare, the transom with the attractive tumblehome styling. There is deadrise on the bottom at the transom, a notably good offshore ride for her length. There is also a Tow Eye just below the spray rail which extends up to the bow. The foredeck is non-skid finished and has notable crown shaping with a white toe rail which breaks at the bow where there is a hawse pipe with anchor rode and two fairleads. Line hawsers are on the transom for docking and stainless pop-up cleats are midship and on the bow.

Owned by an experienced boatsman it has benefitted from many updates under this current ownership. Lift kept (#14,430 full load), this cold-molded beauty has custom sportfish looks without the taxing cosmetic maintenance of many comparable boats. The Cummins power package is low hour, dependable, and economical with a good turn of speed - not to mention this hull offers shallow draft and great sea-keeping characteristics. The interior is functional and comfortable enough for overnighters or weekend trips.Custom Disclaimer and ExclusionsThe Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
