"Pipe Dream" is hull #50 built by Ricky Scarborough. Her plank-on-frame construction provides one of the best rides around, and she has been continuously updated over the years. She features a 2020 I6-800 MAN repower completed at Bayliss Boatworks, delivering a 27-knot low cruise at 48gph and a 29-knot high cruise at 60gph with only 1,700 hours. Additional highlights include mezzanine seating, teak coverboards, and a full paint job completed at Jersey Cape in 2022, along with updated SIMRAD electronics and much more.
Updates since 2016 include complete rewiring, new fuel tank, upgraded AC systems, a refreshed galley, new headliner, faux teak toe rail and house drip rail, and mezzanine seating.
Contact Preston Frieze with Bluewater Yacht Sales today for more information - she won't last long. (910) 473-2628.
