Most deck fittings have been reset with backing plates beneath.
Both engines start easily and run smoothly.
The port engine was replaced in 2016 with a reconditioned newer engine.
The general condition of “Twinstar” is very good, continual upgrades over the years have been made and she is well built, any areas of concern have always been addressed.
A simple, safe boat with lots of room.
She is presently out off the water until late March early April.
