Description

Sellers are ready to pass ownership of this classic Duffy 35 lobster yacht, therefore have lowered the price to create a great buying opportunity.

"About Time" is a superbly finished and well-maintained example of the famed Maine-built Duffy 35 Lobster Yacht. Her hull was laid in 1998, was painstakingly finished out in the following years and then launched in 2018, hence low hours on both the propulsion and generator motors. Duffy 35's have the traditional lobster boat design hard working lobster fishermen have been relying on for decades to get them safely out to sea and back in nearly all conditions. The hull shape, with fine forefoot and flat after sections, produces a wave-slicing bow in head-seas and the wide and flat stern provides stability and good speed while underway. Combine those characteristics with a finely finished interior and you have a perfect solution to adventure out on the water in your area, or cruise the boat on grand voyages to far away places in comfort and style.

Seaworthiness, economy and practicality of use are fundamental characteristics of quality Maine-built lobster boats. Combine those attributes with "About Time's" comfort of use and finish, and you have a vessel which will be admired and respected. It is a well-equipped vessel and comes with its own custom-built trailer (yard-use configuration), as well as a dinghy and outboard motor for trips ashore.

A complete pedigree of this boat is available; the design, the build and the finished product are all well documented. As a convenience to serious potential buyers of this Duffy 35, a pre-listing survey (Dec 24) has been done on the vessel confirming the condition, configuration and care of "About Time". Also during the survey, oil samples were taken from the propulsion and generator engines indicating clean bills of health.
