Comments

This classic Defever exhibits all of the imagination Arthur Defever envisioned in his designs, with spacious accommodations and entertainment areas, sturdy construction and a repsectable cruising range.  Water Doctor has been stored in brackish water and in a covered boathouse for many years and with an obvious attention to her care and maintenance.  The entire boat has been repainted and shines accordingly.  The interior is clean and fresh as is the engine room and the exterior covers and cushions are equally as nice.  This is a very nice Defever!!!
