2008 Hinckley Talaria 29 Runabout

Naples, Florida

$335,000

MS. SOPHIE is a classic and timeless Hinckley Talaria 29 Runabout that is now available from its original owner! Her striking flag blue hull is sure to turn heads in every harbor she visits. Notable upgrades include an upgraded Volvo 435hp electronic common rail diesel engine that produces less emissions than the earlier examples. This means very little smoke emitting from the exhaust and she runs quietly. Recently serviced MS. SOPHIE is ready for her next adventure.
