1998 Little Harbor 36 Whisper Jet
“WILDFLOWER” is a low hour, well equipped 36 Whisperjet. She was exclusively serviced by either Little Harbor Yachts or The Hinckley Company her whole life and was been enrolled in the “Jet Boat Program” every winter up until 2022. She shows extremely well and should be highly considered. All service records are available.
She is a very low hour boat with a unique deck and interior arrangement. Her deck design brings the cabin top much further forward than the normal 36' Whisper Jet. This allows for a larger feel on the interior and affords a bulkhead separating the salon from the forward berth. Most 36 Whisper Jets are an open layout below. This is the WJ 38 interior in a 36' WJ. She is finished in a beautiful all cherry interior.
"WILDFLOWER" had her hull painted a beautiful flag blue in the spring of 2021 using Awlcraft 2000. The photos of her on land are as she came out of the water this fall. No polishing, buffing, etc.
She is currently on land here in our yard. Please call us to schedule a showing of this special boat.
