"GINGER SNAP" is a nice example of the popular BHM Flye Point 32 Cruiser designed by Spencer Lincoln. She's built by Atlantic Boat Works in Brooklin, ME as a built down, full keel, semi displacement downeast style lobster boat. Over 500 have been built since 1978 in varying configurations from working fishing/lobster boats to cruisers. This one is the cruising Flybridge platform with enclosed pilothouse, dual stations, galley up, sleeping cabin and head with a stall shower. She's powered with a 250 hp Cummins 6BTA 5.9 turbo diesel with reporting 1860 hrs in January 2022.  This vessel is equipped with air conditioning/reverse cycle heat however it is presently disabled due to space sacrifice in the hanging locker, reportedly function may be restored. She offers good performance cruising in the 12kn range while burning around 5 gph.
"GINGER SNAP" has had several conscientious owners while cruised throughout Maine and southern New England. Her current owners have enjoyed many seasons of  enjoyable cruising including a three month trip to Ottawa Canada returning through Lake Champlain. They are now shifting their interest into other endeavors, still keeping a couple of smaller boats of course. They have continually strived to ensure the boat is safe, reliable and a pleasure to cruise aboard. 
These boats are sought after so please don't hesitate to act if you are interested.
