COMMENTS: FAIRLIGHT is a handsome 31' Willis Beal Hardtop lobster-style Cruiser built in 2002 by RP Boats in Steuben, Maine. Her original owner knew what he wanted, and designed the deck, machinery, pilothouse, and interior layout to his specifications. The result is a vessel which cruises easily at 12-15 knots, can be fished or lobstered, with her starboard side pilothouse, she has a live well, but is also a pleasure to cruise and weekend on. Her Yanmar 370 hp diesel with only 1262 hours has been very reliable, does not smoke and is very quiet. What is not to like about this vessel? Please call us for your inspection and thank you for your interest.
