Selling / Owner Information / Notes:

The only known issues with the boat are : 1) The engine room flooring which has a little rot behind the bilge grate. It can be seen in the picture gallery (PIC 1). It's really not bad, but I chose not to fix it and let the buyer do the repair. 2) There is a slight blemish on the arch where the radar pedestal supporting the radar was (PIC 2).

Overall the boat is in excellent condition and has been captain maintained with love and care. This boat will make it's new owner very happy and at a terrific price when you consider what some similar Tiara's sell for. Please the value of ours against other boats and compared to a new Tiara 2900 Open that is approaching 200k!

Most importantly you can be assured that the engine has been well maintained with top grade oil and all other services occuring sooner then the OEM recomended time frames. Look at all other similar boats then please look at ours and you will see the difference.
