Comments
This Birchwood TS 37 has the benefits of recent 2008 Volvo Penta D6 310HP engines with only 345 hours. With some investment, this could be a really lovely liveaboard or long-distance cruising boat. She will need to be taken out of the water for a full hull service and the engines will also need to be serviced as soon as purchased.
