Condition of Gulfstar Sloop 43 MKII
The boat is in need of a good wash and wax, but the gel coat is in good shape. The top to the waterline was all painted in 2016, Hull is without damage. Interior has been completely refitted in 2013. We bought another boat several years ago and just don’t sail this Gulfstar much anymore. She was a GREAT boat for us and my wife and I lived and aboard and cruised on her for 5 years. We have since moved out of state with our other boat and want someone to enjoy this one as much as we did. We sailed this boat from the Southern Tip of Texas to Florida and back multiple times and she is a safe comfortable cruising boat. She is going to need some Tender loving care as she has been neglected a bit the last couple of years. She can be ready to be out cruising around with just a few weekends of some cleanup and general maintenance. Below are all the specifications, I have noted the honest condition of everything here for full visibility. I am happy to discuss any of this in detail as well. What’s more, is my wife and I chronicled almost all of our refit and some of our trips and journeys on this boat so you can check all those out as well. See videos from our last trip from Texas to New Orleans.
