David Halladay has dropped the price on what is undoubtedly the finest and best-equipped Wharram Tiki 30 that has ever been built. If you're looking for a professionally built Tiki 30 - a catamaran that can take you on long offshore passages, cruise shallow waters off limits to most boats and daysail with a party on board, you won't find a better one. David says the boat has to go because there are new projects coming soon. This has been the demo boat for Boatsmith, Inc., and has been shown in boat shows from Mystic, Connecticut to Miami. At two years old, it has been meticulously maintained by the pros at Boatsmith and is ready for a new owner.
Here's his description of the boat and her inventory, as well as the reduced price:

Boatsmith is now offering Abaco for sale for $50,000.
