Friends, today we have a Bostrøm 31-2 with a new Yanmar engine and a lot of upgrades for 5900 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.33 meters
Beam: 2.76 meters
Draft: 1.80 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A good, sturdy and well-maintained boat. A large number of both major and minor improvements.

All wooden elements have been restored. The gelcoat has been updated. A new antifouling. USB sockets are installed.

The interior has been slightly redesigned: the charts table has been removed for more space in the cabin and an enlarged sleeping place.

The mast and standing rigging have been checked this year. A new spray hood and a cockpit tent have been sewn.

There is a stove, sink and refrigerator in the galley.

A new starter battery and two house ones. New electrical wiring.

A lot of work has been done with the engine. A more powerful Yanmar 3GM-30F 27 hp was installed in 2023. The fuel system is completely new. New transmission. Engine room with new insulation.

The sails are in average condition and will probably last for several more seasons. Mainsail, two different-sized staysails, a storm staysail and a spinnaker.

Only the VHF radio station and Raymarine instruments with Windex are visible, which have not yet been plugged in. There is also a dinghy (inflatable boat) with a 4 hp engine, which are included in the price — this is a very big plus.

Friends, today we have a Maxi 95 with an updated 2014 Yanmar engine for 8770 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 3.20 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Perhaps one of the most interesting offers in recent times. The average market price of such Maxis can reach up to 20K.

The boat looks well maintained. It was repainted by the previous owner, after which it was rarely used. New portholes. There is a hot water tank, but it’s not connected.

Cute shutters made of darkened glass at the entrance.

There is a single-burner stove in the galley, but I would replace it. In my opinion one burner is not very convenient. There is a fridge in the galley.

Full set of sails: mainsail with cover, genoa and storm staysail. The sails are in good condition. The halyards and sheets are brought into the cockpit.

The original Volvo Penta engine was replaced by the Yanmar in 2014.

The cockpit has a teak and a beautiful teak table with cup holders. New cockpit cushions.

The boat also has a chartplotter, autopilot and a wind strength and direction meter.

A good boat with a lot of sleeping places due to additional bunks along the sides. The headroom in the cabin is 180 cm, which is pretty good.

The owner is selling the boat due to lack of time. Many basic works have already been done.

There is a galley with everything you need for cooking. There is also a BBQ grill on the stern.

3 new batteries were purchased. There is a solar panel. An autopilot was installed.

The boat is completely covered with teak. Wood requires repair or replacement in places. You need to watch it live.
