Additional Equipment:
This 52 is really lots of boat for the money. If You're in the market for a Convertible Sportfish in the 45-55 range but don't want to spend 500+ for one, this is definately worth considering. With all the updates, recent rebuilds and good maintenance history, she represents an excellent value in a boat that is turn key ready to fish. She is fished on a monthly basis by the Owner but he also has a smaller boat to keep at home and needs to sell one of the two. She is well worth a look.
