"Quixote" is a pedigree Choey Lee boat from 1989. Many mechanical upgrades have been made (Main engine and generator repower, bow thruster, etc) and she is mechanically sound and operational. Her interior has mostly been kept original (teak and holly sole in beautiful condition) and shows well for her age. There are several small areas of water damage from the windows/portholes where the wood has become discolored.
