DESCRIPTION:

Night Train is a proper cruising boat with fantastic bones — the kind they simply don't build anymore. Solid, heavy-glass hull, classic ketch rig, and a 4-foot draft that makes her ideal for the shallow west coast of Florida and the Bahamas. She's ready to cruise now and would reward the right owner willing to put in some love to make her exceptional.

Highlights:

-50 hp Yanmar diesel
-4' draft — gunkholing, thin water, and Bahamas-ready
-Ketch rig with main, mizzen, headsails, and spinnaker
-Custom dinghy davit system, pre-plumbed and ready for additional solar
-Roomy, liveaboard-friendly interior
-Currently slipped at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club
-Overall good condition — solid structure, sails, and mechanicals

Why she's for sale: Honestly, I don't want to sell her. I recently bought another Morgan and can't justify keeping both. Someone is going to get a lot of boat for the money.

Priced at , but I'm open to reasonable offers for a quick sale.

Serious inquiries welcome — happy to show her anytime.
