Beautifully Maintained Jefferson Rivanna – Ready for Your Next Adventure
This vessel is fully equipped and ready to cruise. Smaller vessel trades may be considered.
With exceptionally low original hours and a long history of seasonal northern use, this Jefferson Rivanna stands out for its condition, upgrades, and thoughtful care. Previously kept in New England and used only four months per year—then stored indoors out of the water during the off-season—she shows significantly less wear than comparable vessels of her age.
At 600 hours, the Cummins engines received the recommended factory upgrade with new heads and valves, and today they have just 980 original hours. A new Northern Lights generator has only 6 hours of use.
