Description
This Californian is in impeccable condition. The last 2 owners have taken pride in their ownership updating both the interior and the exterior. She has been kept undercover, in fresh water, on the Tennessee river throughout the last 3 owners and in Chattanooga specifically since 2016. She is a great size to Liveaboard but not too big to take around the "Great Loop". Current owner bought a lake house so no longer needs a Motoryacht.
She has 2 staterooms and 2 full heads along with a generous Salon area. She is powered by twin CAT 3208TA's. If you prefer outdoor space she offers a large aft deck area and flybridge seating area. Current owner update her enclosure to canvas and acrylic valued at over $30,000. New Bridge Upholstery, and a full deck rail "pet guard" valued at over $7,000. A marquipt tide ladder is included for easy boarding in any docking situation. Electronics are dated but are reported to be operational.

Raised as an "army brat" Charity has traveled extensively and was introduced to boating by her aunt and uncle at the age of 6. She currently lives in Chattanooga, TN and has been boating on the Tennessee River since 1999. After a 25 year career in the medical field, in 2015 she purchased a local marina and took the plunge into "all things boats." Since that time she, along with her 4 children, have run a successful marina, marine service, rental boat operation, boating supply store, and brokerage. In 2017, she also acquired her captain's license and began doing training and deliveries. In 2021, she sold the marina and has since focused on the brokerage and captaining side of boating. Charity loves what she does and it shows. She has a passion for sharing her love of the water and boating with others to ensure everyone has the opportunity to love it as much as she does.
