I never thought I'd be doing this but arthritis is forcing my hand. Sirocco, A-205, who many of you know was owned by Steve Airing, is up for sale. She was in neglect when I got her but I had her professionally refurbed from bow to stern. In addition to all of the usual repairs I replaced her old Atomic 4 with a brand new Beta Marine 18 (diesel) and she is probably the prettiest girl at the dance these days. I spent in excess of $20K on her rework, exclusive of the new engine and I have an appraisal that values her at $12K as she is with a $51K replacement cost. She's incredibly nice, sails are good and stiff, she has a roller furling with a 165 jib and the teak and her combings are beautiful. She had a 5 year bottom job (fresh water) and I have less than 25 hours on her engine. She's even got a built in air conditioning unit. She's very nice, easy to manage and would make a wonderful boat for a new sailor or for someone who wants a pretty and essentially maintenance free day sailer. She's listed in a few places at slightly higher amounts but I'll take $9K for her. The engine alone costs $7K. I have an appraisal if you'd like a copy. 918-688-5878. benchmark land@gmail.com
Is it possible to get interior pictures?
Sure, I have some and I'll try to post them tomorrow. Thanks for looking.
Here are a few.

And here is a copy of the guts of her appraisal
