Panacea Hinckley Picnic Boat EP 2002

Vessel Description

INTRODUCTION:

PANACEA is a beautiful dark green Hinckley “EP” (extended pilothouse) Picnic Boat. This lovely example spent most of her life on the fresh waters of Lake Tahoe or in a heated hanger when not on the water. “PANACEA” recently made her way back to the Northeast where she spends her winters in heated indoor storage with Hinckley Yacht Services in Portsmouth, Rhode Island

This Hinckley JetBoat has seen a engine rebuild, upgraded dual Garmin Chartplotters (with radar overlay), Fusion Bluetooth stereo, new tasteful cushions, hatch replacements, and more. She even boasts a new “Sail Shade” system the can protect the aft cockpit from the sun using an ingenious (and simple) set of carbon fiber poles that slip into sockets back aft for the shade clip in to. When not in use, it stores easily down below.
