Broker's Comments

The UFO 27 has always been a popular cruiser racer. A soundly built, no frills boat that offers comfortable cruising but carries a good handicap for pot hunters. This boat is well known locally and is always regularly used and kept in good order. Some cosmetic work would be of benefit but nothing that you would not expect on a vessel of this age. Plenty more years left in her yet.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This UFO 27 has been personally photographed and viewed by Jon Roberts of Boatshed IOW. Click here for contact details.
