The North Pacific 43 has a rugged look and is solidly built with a hand-crafted teak interior. Upgrades and good maintenance by the original and current owners make this vessel a must see.
CARIBBEAN RANGER is well suited for living aboard and comfortable, safe long range cruising. The flybridge arch folds back making the boat a perfect choice to handle the "Great Loop" and the other canals and waterways in North America. The recent addition of the Hurricane diesel heating system makes this boat a great cold climate cruiser as well. Extremely economical at cruising speed. Owner's change of plans make this boat available now. Just commissioned and launched for the season, detailed inside and out and ready to go for her new owners. Fresh zincs, polished and waxed with a new quality Highfield tender.
