$112,000

ENCORE is a very special 1988 Dyer 29 Hardtop which has had the benefit of an extensive refit since 2020 when her present owner purchased her.

Several other unique features include the 2012 installation of her Yanmar 315 hp diesel, providing 16 knot cruising speed if desired.

Attractive white wicker helm and companion seats were installed. Below, she has a custom Nav table and much larger enclosed head with new fresh water W.C. She is truly a Custom Dyer 29.
