COMMENTS

An exceptional Hodgdon-built Offshore Cruiser with the finest Maine pedigree. Also, most importantly, this vessel has had the same caring, knowledgeable owner since 1971 and only the third owner since she was built in 1946. THE FOUR KNOTTS has always been in fresh water. In 2000, new twin Cummins diesels were installed, and she was completely rewired with new circuit breaker panels. Maintained in true Bristol fashion.
