Description
$75K PRICE REDUCTION / OWNER MOTIVATED
Don't miss this opportunity to own an original jig built Buddy Davis with a recent CAT repower and major refit. From late '21 into '22 Full Circle underwent a major overhaul back home in Wanchese and she turned out really nice. With <300 hrs on new C12.9 engines, extended warranty to April '26, beautiful interior carpentry, new topside paint, hardtop, riggers, curtains, electronics, Optimus steering and a very long list of other additions and upgrades, Full Circle is definitely worth considering if you are in the market for a boat in this class.
With her comfortable interior layout and cockpit and bridge set up to fish, she would make an awesome private boat for family fishing or to send down to Central America to really get after 'em. She rides well, handles great and is a good example of the enduring craftsmanship that comes from this area. The owner has another project going on that is taking him in a different direction so take advantage of the timing and recent price reduction and see if Full Circle would fit well into your program. Give us a call.
