1988 35.5' LOA J Boats J35
Its a J!
Rare find.
Not many out there for sale.
Im sure she wont last. 1988 J35 with cruising package/interiors.
I am a singlehander and third owner.
Work relocation is forcing this sale because this is my dream boat.
Second owner only raced the boat a couple of times a year and owned her 1999-2019.
Low mileage low hours boat/engine though she is a Pacific Cup Veteran.
Electrical install is ultra high grade work from expensive boat yard.
She is a solid performer and cuts water like a hot knife cuts butter.
This boat is turn-key ready.
However, sale is "as-is" just like any other used boat.
I have been sailing her 40 weekends a year.
Fairly priced.
Serious buyers please.
Scammers not welcomed.
Other pictures available upon request for serious buyers only.
Save your time and mine.
