1981 Gulf Craft 80-Foot Aluminum Crew Boat – Ocean Cay – Tarpon Springs, FL
I'm offering Ocean Cay, a substantial 1981 Gulf Craft aluminum crew boat with approximately 80 feet of length overall and an 18'2" beam. She was built for serious commercial service and carries that rugged, heavy-duty construction throughout. Whether you're looking for a large expedition platform, a yacht support vessel, a liveaboard conversion project, or continued commercial use, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a big aluminum workboat with major propulsion work already done.
