“HAPPY OURS” is a stunning example of the Hinckley MKIII Picnic Boat. The owners worked with Hinckley to build a heavily optioned version for elegant cruising and entertaining. She boasts optional 370hp Volvo engines and a recent electronics upgrade including a large screen Raymarine Hybrid Touch Chartplotter. “Happy Ours” has been under Hinckley care since new and winters with Hinckley in heated indoor storage. As you read through the full specifications of this vessel, it will become apparent that she was built for a yachtsman that wanted the best Hinckley has to offer. “Happy Ours” will be sure to turn heads in every port. “Happy Ours” is an exceptional opportunity as she is the ONLY Hinckley MKIII Picnic Boat currently on the brokerage market.
