2003 Bayliner 288 $1 Reseve

The buyer must make the payment within 3 days. Free storage until 31/12. The boat is situated at Tamaki Marine Park.

Viewing: Serious buyers welcome to arrange a viewing. Sea trial is not offered. The boat can be fully inspected on the dry stack, including engine checks and a compression test (if arranged by the buyer). Professional surveyors are welcome.

We purchased another boat shortly after this one, so this vessel has been used very little.
