Arabelle III is a very well maintained 2011Bavaria 38 .Experienced owner ordered this boat from the factory and has only lightly used her. Low hours on upgraded diesel. She has Hydronic heating, 3 blade feathering prop, Bimini and dodger along with cruising spinnaker, chart plotter, radome, pilot, wind direction. The Bavaria 38 would be called a 40 today and shows bigger than a lot of boats in this size range. Island bed forward and large salon make her a very comfortable cruiser..Plus no smell.
