This vessel is equipped with twin reliable and economical Ford Lehman engines (80hp each, 3k hours) and a Westerbeke generator (8 kw, 2k hours). Extensive mechanical and systems work has been continually done in recent years. The boat has been used regularly and has always been in a covered slip since purchased by her current owner. If you’re looking for a mechanically sound vessel that can be used and enjoyed while addressing the cosmetics on your own schedule, this Island Gypsy is a great option! It is also very well prepped as a liveaboard or for extended cruises. Located in Galveston TX
