9' ft Uniflite 48 CVT 1981

Uniflite was originally contracted to build solid and good riding military vessels and developed into a highly sought after sportfishing and motoryacht line of boats and yachts until they were scooped up by Chris-Craft to become their highly regarded hulls on the Commander and Catalina models.

This specific example has recently undergone a gorgeous interior refitting including new flooring, bedding, upholstery, headliners, appliances, and more!
A very clean engine room too!
New to the market and seriously for sale. The owner has relocated to California which unfortunately forces his need to sell. Offer sought.
