Description
This 1998 Martin 243 is a fast, ultralight planing sportboat in excellent condition, for sale in Mount Hamilton, California. A Don Martin design built in fiberglass by Martin Yachts in Canada, the 243 planes easily and is the kind of boat you tell stories about: comfortable and easy to sail under 12 knots true, and seriously quick above 15, with over 23 knots recorded on the speedo. One of just 14 built, this is hull #9, a fast, evolved example that's fully race-ready and, in the owner's words, much better than new. She's the seller's second Martin 243, the first having been the prototype. She measures 24' LOA, 8' beam and 5.75' draft, with a fiberglass hull and fractional sloop rig. Asking $17,950. Contact the seller for full details or to arrange a viewing.
