Gartside 17 — Cold-Molded Electric Launch

A change in plans for the Seller makes this classic and classy electrically powered launch available to her next stewards. Only launched this past year this smart looking and smartly powered vessel has only been dry sailed with her Seller bringing her home on her trailer after use and plugging her in, so she’ll be ready and waiting for her next excursion.

Perfect for silent morning bird watching, lazy lunches in protected coves or sunset libations and harbor cruise this electric launch is offered well (exceedingly) below her recent cost to build.
