Featured Boat 30' Maple Bay 1998 Can$ 84,900 PRICE REDUCTION!! CAPRICE is a lovingly cared for salty little cruiser that turns heads everywhere she goes. It's the look; the boat epitomizes the romantic ideal of BC cruising, in a modest easily driven and manageable displacement hull. Maple Bays were locally built in Sidney by Maple Bay Marine Design.The company was owned and operated by Jim Scrivens who had a relentless attention to detail and believed in doing things the old fashioned way; Take your time, do it right the first time, and always put quality first. Jim built 3 boats per year. CAPRICE just shines, with beautifully maintained teak throughout the boat. The salon ceiling is 2” planking painted in a traditional cream gloss accented in high gloss teak wayne scotting. Below are big character port holes right out of the Gatsby era and a big hatch allowing sun to flood into the very comfortable cabin. I took this handsome and practical two person cruiser out for a spin. She was fun to drive, quiet, responsive and I found out later, very economical sipping 2 litres (litres not gallons) per hour at cruising speed of 6.8 kn. We are not going to find much of a sea way in Deep Cove, but with her canoe stern, you can be sure she handles wonderfully in a following sea. Canoe sterns often take away from cockpit space, but not on Maple Bays. The cockpit is big enough to comfortably accommodate 4 adults. The owner bought the boat new and paid $198,000 for her. An available current survey shows replacement value at $220,000 and current market value at $160,000. He loves his boat, but sadly is selling her for health reasons, and looking for a buyer that will take as good care of CAPRICE as he has. This is a very special vessel and must be seen to be appreciated. Call Richard to arrange a viewing at your convenience, and we will do just that.
