LE TI is a low hour Hinckley Talaria Picnic Boat that offers you the opportunity to enjoy a combination of performance and comfort. She is perfect for entertaining family and friends on a local cruise or a weekend trip. She is a real eye catcher in the classic Hinckley style and affords you the opportunity to explore areas that others cannot with her 18' draft and jet drive. 

The long cockpit is made to order for entertaining, sunbathing, or wetting a line if that is your preference. There is adequate seating and the engine box doubles as a large picnic table or additional seating.

Performance and economy, powered by the single Yammer Diesel six-cylinder engine is outstanding. You can expect to cruise around 28 knots with speeds at Wide Open Throttle in the low-to-mid 30 knot range. Fuel economy is outstanding as well. She features the Hamilton Jet Drive which has been around for a long time and allows your Hinckley to cruise where others cannot, drawing only 18 inches. Paired with the Jet Drive Joystick she offers excellent maneuverability and a quiet ride and no props, rudders, or struts to damage a grounding.

Below decks is a surprisingly spacious galley with a two-burner stove, a teak and holly sole and varnished mahogany. To starboard is a large head with ample counter space and a shower as well as a large V-birth which makes her comfortable for a weekend cruise.

Additional photos will be added shortly. An insurance survey is available on request.

Don't miss the opportunity to see this outstanding vessel. She is easy to see in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The owner or LE TI has moved up to a new Hinckley.
