RAVEN is a meticulously maintained and highly desirable final edition of the Hinckley Picnic Boat “EP” (Extended Pilothouse). Features like a walk-through transom door and a Volvo Common Rail diesel were not provided in earlier examples. This incredible Picnic Boat is owned by a past CEO of the Hinckley Company. Every winter RAVEN is delivered to Hinckley Yacht Services and enters into the comprehensive winter JetBoat Package including heated indoor storage. During the summer months, the boat is maintained by a very fastidious captain (evident in the attached pics). This Picnic Boat is in true “Bristol” condition with glistening varnish throughout and continuous upgrading.
Recently RAVEN received a full Garmin electronics suite, new fabrics, new stereo and a highly desirable electronic/telescopic SureShade for the aft cockpit.
RAVEN will be sure to turn heads in every harbor and port she graces. Please delve into the pictures and detailed specifications to see why this rare Picnic Boat is so special.
