COMMENTS

Since Critical Mass has been stored in fresh water, in the same slip most of her life, professionally maintained and reportedly only three owners, she is amazingly original and shows very well!

Additional bonus: The slip in the Orleans Marina can transfer to the buyer with purchase of the boat.
