Boat Details
Description
Tranquility Base is a great example of a well-cared for vessel and is a rare find in New England. Her current owners recently brought her north to Massachusetts from Florida where she sits on a mooring at Marblehead Harbor. Her previous owners cruised her up and down the east coast, and over to the Bahamas. Her interior is in excellent condition and her exterior has recently been compounded and waxed. Her current owners are leaving her loaded with galley items and a large collection of spares. She is ready to go!
Upgrades that were accomplished include: replacing the aft A/C unit, new full and flybridge accent striping, installation of a new aft bimini which includes sun screen and had a new Strataglass enclosure ($11k value) for the flybridge made just recently. She has also just had her major 3000hr service completed ($5k value) on the Yanmar engines.

Aft is what is usually considerad the master stateroom with a queen berth lots cabinets, hanging storage, opening port, tan, and large opening hatch aft. Both staterooms have heat and AC.

There are two new folding chairs. On the foredeck you will find four lockers, two are all the way forward in the hull. On the port side the generator is located in a sound insulated compartment with lots of storage forward. The starboard side is primarily far storage but also contains the black water discharge pump and the raw water wash down pump all at eye level far ease of maintenance.
