Remarks :
This shallow draft 1985 Beneteau First 305 requires a fair bit of upgrading, hence the price. She is powered by a shaft driven 18HP Volvo diesel engine. Her inventory includes in-mast furling mainsail, furling genoa, spinnaker, electric windlass, six berths, hot air heating, colour chart-plotter, DSC VHF and more. She is excellent value!

Broker's Comments
She can be handled easily and has the added advantage of a shallow draft. She requires some T.L.C. hence the price.
