Monday, October 26, 2014 - She is for sale

We finally got all our stuff out of cupboards and hiding places and off the boat.  What a job!  Anyway, Serenity is now ready for some lucky person.  We have so loved her!  We are going to try to market her ourselves since we are not really in a hurry.  We are posting the full specs on NordhavnFSBO.com and lots of photos here.  If anyone knows someone who might be interested, have them call Earl (360-333-1546).

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

Serenity was commissioned in the Spring of 2007 and has taken her original owners north to Alaska and south to Mexico. She is berthed in Anchortes, Washington and is available for inspection by appointment.  In keeping with her primary mission as a passage maker, she has no flybridge, keeping her wind profile low, a feature valued by her owners who have many years experience commercial fishing in Alaska.  She has been beautiful maintained and is completely ready to take her new owners wherever they may wish to go. 

She is outfitted with many features that make her perfect for cruising couple.  She is one of the few 43s with an extended swim step complete with staples for ease of loading or unloading a tender or kayak.  In addition to Trac stabilizers – which allow you to leave items on the counter without fear – she has a flopper stopper for anchoring.  She has a water maker, extra batteries, and LED lights. The boat deck is equipped with a unique sun shade and dingy rack that swings out of the way, making the boat deck an additional entertainment area.  The deployment of the dingy is done using a Steelhead crane and does not require removal of the sun shade.  

The boat has been continually upgraded and preventive maintenance performed.  For example, just over the past year, the owners have replaced the stabilizer pistons, the water maker membranes, the carpets, upgraded the alternator to 165 amps, replaced the master head with upgraded dometic model, painted the bottom and replaced zincs. 

DETAIL SPECS

EXTERIOR TOUR OF THE BOAT Swimstep, Cockpit and Lazarette Serenity has been upgraded with a generous extended swimstep complete with moveable staples that has totally changed the functionality of this area for getting on and off tenders, kayaks, and paddle boards as well as for fishing and swimming.  At night blue underwater lights provide a splendid show, especially in clear water.

The membranes were replaced in 2014. There's plenty of room in the cockpit for a couple of chairs and table to enjoy the early morning sunrise coffee or the evening sunset cocktails!
