About Karen Gayle

Currently undergoing Upgrades such as

• new/rebuilt generator installed 06/21/2025 with 1+/- hours for testing.
• new bottom paint

along with other preventative maintenance work

Karen Gayle is truly a timeless well loved and well taken care of more than capable Great Loop Boat

She has very low hours on her rebuilt engines. Based on a survey report in 2022 Karen Gayle went through a complete out of hull engine rebuild in 2002 on both engines and currently has only 410 hours on the port engine and 407 Hours on the starboard engine.

Karen Gayle has had regular service and regular preventative maintenance care performed since her refit.

UPGRADES:

One of her many upgrades was a remodel of her engine compartment with an auto opening engine room access hatch allowing for more room to work on the engines and storage of engine maintenance supplies.

Another Upgrade is, the current owner was in the processes of installing a new fly bridge in preparation for the current owner and his wife to do the Great Loop. This leaves the new owner the option to either complete the new fly bridge or easily remove it as the controls and electronics have not yet been installed.
