Broker's Comments This aft cabin cruising model was purchased from the Ocean Alexander dealership and displayed in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. These original owners were accomplished cruisers and ordered this OA 48 Classico to take a multi-year trip of the Great Circle Loop. So many of the features were custom built to accomplish economically and with ease for a couple.
Continuously maintained, she is better now than when originally displayed in the boat show. With low hours, new bottom paint and batteries, she is ready to go again.
