Broker's Comments
This Ferro Cement Hartley Tahitian is the 53ft version. It is an unfinished project but a lot of the work and expense has already been undertaken.
It is also very realistically priced; and has lots of potential as a live-aboard blue water cruiser.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
