COMMENTS: SIMCHA is one of the popular 32 Trawlers, built in 1987. These vessels compete favorably with the Grand Banks 32's, but the Island Gypsy's have the important side door at the lower helm, and a larger "back porch' for evening cocktails with guests. The flybridge is also larger. SIMCHA shows very well, with refinished teak, a recently rebuilt bow sprit which houses the 12V anchor windlass, teak decks in excellent condition, cockpit bimini as well as flybridge bimini, a 4kw generator, and 2023 batteries and solar panels to keep the refrigerator-freezers operating continuously. Her Ford Lehman 135 hp diesel has approximately 2800 hours and shows excellent maintenance. Please come and inspect this well-maintained, handsome trawler, and thank you for your interest.
