1996 430 Liveaboard

Postby danielbrant » March 20th, 2019, 1:29 pm

Hello to all! My wife and I have purchased a 1996 430 about 4 months back and are full time liveaboards in DC. Transitioning from a traditional houseboat to a cruiser.

Look forward to learning about this boat from you fine people.
