Description:
Reckoning is a well-kept Beneteau First 36s7! She has had a very caring owner for the past 18 years. The engine has been fully serviced and winterized every year by Crowley's Yacht Yard (CYY). Spring inspection is done every year before hitting the water. Batteries are new (2024). This boat is equipped with modern electronics including Raymarine Autopilot and Garmin Wind/Depth/Speed. Below deck she is very slick and clean. The galley offers a stainless steel gimble oven with a 2-burner stove. It also includes a newer Isotherm fridge & freezer. The teak and holly cabin sole are in excellent condition.
