Owner’s Comments

ELEPHANTEN is a wonderfully safe and pleasant boat with plenty of power when needed, and with truly beautiful lines.

She has never let us down, regardless of weather or season, and has worked equally well for carrying heavy loads as for holidays and leisure trips. On one occasion, four adults stayed overnight on board without problem. Unfortunately, we have not been able to make full use of her potential as often as we had hoped. The upside is that the upholstery and cushions are still virtually in as-new condition.

ELEPHANTEN has been serviced with great care every year, with all oils and filters replaced regardless of engine hours.

It has been a source of great pride and joy to own ELEPHANTEN, and we hope her next owner will cherish and care for her as much as we have.
