Broker's Comments

The Dolphin 31 is a well built fin keel cruiser with a spacious interior and good sized cockpit.
The engine was replaced in 2005. The hull was copper-coated for the 2014 season. Windows were replaced in 2016.
The interior upholstery is good and much of the head lining has been replaced.
This boat has a good inventory that includes Radar.
If you are looking for a good family cruiser this boat is worth serious consideration and represents good value.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
