From the owner:
Moonshadow has been in the Clear Lake area for many years and has been meticulously cared for by local yacht service providers including Y.E.S., True North and Mockingbird Marine.
Moonshadow was purchased by the current owners in 2021 and subsequently maintained and upgraded in anticipation of a Great Loop adventure. Intervening circumstances prevented this dream from materializing, but the boat is ready to go now for whatever adventures the next owners have in mind. There are user manuals and documentation for just about all original and updated systems as well as quick references for major systems developed by the current owner.

Description
Mechanical and Electrical
The main access to the engine compartment is through the salon sole. There is also a door under the forward cabin access steps. This is a nice size space with good access outboard of each main engine. The generator is aft and center with fuel tanks outboard of that. The water tanks are aft in the lazarette. Moonshadow’s engine room is clean.
