I just replaced all 8 6-volt deep cycle batteries, replaced both 12-volt winches for lifting the dingy. The boat has a wood Freeman autopilot that works. I just upgraded the B&G Radar, B&G Vulcan Plotter, Depth sounder and have a new wind speed/wind angle indicator (just needs to be installed). She has a bow thruster. I installed a dehumidifier that drains to the bilge and then pumped overboard. I upgraded port and starboard running lights, plus she has port and starboard and strobe light on top of the mast. I upgraded to a smart TV, adding a surround sound system. The rear head has a bathtub/shower and the forward head has a toilet and sink. Included are various spare parts for pumps and engine.

Both the Jib and main sails are roller-furling system operated from within the enclosed pilothouse. Both sails were replaced when I purchased the boat.
