Owner remarks and comments regarding boat and condition

If you are looking to move up to a beautiful larger vessel this is the vessel...

The 52 Bluewater is the most popular Bluewater made because a single operator can navigate this boat from leaving a slip to returning to a slip  to anchoring. This boat is in excellent condition and is very clean.

The current owner has decided to let her go since all of his children are grown and his health has declined. He is not able to effectively operate the vessel and he feels she deserves to be out on the water. She needs a new family.

This particular vessel's entire top side (which mimics the below deck surface area) is fully available for use which doubles the usable total space giving you access and actual use of over 100 feet plus of space (upper and lower added together.)

This vessel comes with twin 450hp gasoline engines with a fuel capacity of 200 gallons. The propellers are built up inside the hull of the boat. The boat is either throttle steered or rudder steered because this ocean vessel was designed to go over island reefs and land up on the islands beaches. (it's known as an "Island Jumper" which also explains the landing ladder at he very front of the boat.) This boat has a reinforced bow and has a 3 foot draft all built for going over reefs and Island hopping.

The boat has three independent 1800 BTU air and reverse cycle heating units located in the staterooms and salon. Because this boat has been primarily operated on The Tennessee River the radar has been removed and replaced with a military thermal imaging camera with a thermal FLIR monitor that also shows the GPS data, navigation and depth charts. This monitor can be accessed and viewed from a cell phone via Bluetooth. Which is important when anchored out at night. You can also monitor the anchor alert system in the living quarters while sleeping, eating, and socializing. This vessel also has a marine two way radio system.

All seating canvasses have been replaced with new canvas. The boat comes stocked with a spare solid brass propeller, belts, impellers and tools. These are on board and stay with the boat in case a need arises while underway. The vessel also comes stocked with a mobile Emergency Room large back pack in to event any medical emergency arises while on the open water. 

This vessel has an entire array battery bank for running any item chosen by the operator when anchored out and the generator is shut down late at pm for a rest. This vessel has a Bose® speaker system in both inside nd outside. Each bedroom has its own toilet, full bath and its own AC unit.

This is a Limited Edition which removes the inside driving system ( which is never used on rivers because you can not see when operating this boat from the inside downstairs.) ( This driving system was originally designed for ocean travel with auto pilot engaged) and in place of that inside downstairs driving system. The front room now has a full bathroom with tub and shower.

This boat has minimum travel time as she was ran on average 4 times a year...the longest trip made by the current was 200 miles

She comes with a North Carolina twin troller fishing bot which is great if you want to anchor out and go to the shore for eating out etc. Plus great for fishing.

Dhe has a stationary swim platform for ease of swimming. There is a TV upstairs that can be used for movies, football etc.

This is an excellent vessel that is well priced for its size and condition.
