What a fantastic opportunity to own this pristine classic! BILLFISHER may be a 1971 model, but after an extensive, "open checkbook" refit in 2017 by the original owner and further upgrades in 2020 by the current (2nd owners) she has been brought into the 21st century and has no equal among her sister ship peers!
BILLFISHER is listed for sale far below her 2020 survey valuation.
The owner is very motivated and will consider all reasonable offers.
