  • Price: SOLD
  • Year: 1996

This charming and versatile Little Harbor 40 is now available! The Ted Hood Yacht Builders designed this classic Downeast style express cruiser with a focus on quality craftsmanship, performance and ingenuity. The walk around exterior provides ease of access to the bow and stern and compliments her enlarged cockpit outfitted to fish or entertain. The helm and cockpit settee are set forward protected by a new polycarbonate enclosure. The twin Cummins 420hp diesels engines can top her out around 35 knots and cruise economically at 25 knots. This preferred power package is combined with jet drives to simplify her handling and improves agility when docking. As you step down below through the varnished companionway, you'll see an updated interior layout consisting of a v-berth forward, full galley and a separate head and shower.
