Broker Comments

It is rare than an iconic Whiticar in Bristol condition becomes available. Shearwater has just seen a full paint job, electronics upgrade, addition of anchor chute and stainless steel plow anchor and a full soft goods refurbishment including new beds, bedding, wallpaper, and carpet. her simple, great running 892\'s push her effortlessly, burning clean. Her varnish has been stripped and rebuilt and shows as new. This Whiticar turns heads everywhere she goes, much more than boats costing 10 times her value! Sadly, there will never be another 56\' Whiticar built. This no excuses, classic sportfisherman rides incredibly and performs better than many new boats today. This is a boat for the fishing aficionado that wants to stand out at the dock and on the rip. Offered for sale by market-aware and knowledgeable sellers that are as much for a good home for their beloved Whiticar as an outright sale. Easy to see in Stuart, FL!
