Beneteau First 235 Forums

[timelf]

1988 Beneteau 235, located in Madison, Wisconsin.
Price: $8000

Foreword has the wing-keel. The boat has been undergoing a refit while we enjoyed daysailing her on an inland lake in Wisconsin. We've spent time improving the rigging, repainting the bottom, doing a few small fiberglass and gelcoat repairs, and servicing the outboard every year. While there are always more projects to do, she is ready to sail and looking for her next owner. She comes with a nearly new 9.8HP outboard, beautiful B&H chart plotter, single-axle trailer, and jack stands.
