1997 Stamas 290 Express

The excellent reputation of the Stamas 290 Express is well founded. The quality of construction, smooth-riding hull, thoughtfully-designed interior, and sensible deck plan make this vessel a fine small family cruiser or fishing boat.

ORA C has had good care and appears to be in fine condition. Her efficient interior sleeps four, with a V berth/dinette forward, galley with stove, refrigerator, and sink, an enclosed head with shower, and mid-cabin double berth below the helm station. Five opening ports and an overhead hatch provide good ventilation.

A 230 horsepower diesel engine provides economical, efficient, and dependable power, and a bow thruster aids with close quarter maneuverability. A swim platform and transom door make boarding easy. ORA C’s owners, after a lifetime on the water, are retiring from boat ownership. We encourage you to come have a look. ORA C may be easily inspected on a mooring in Hull, MA with access via yacht club launch. Call for an appointment.
