This is one of the most popular Gulfstar models ever made. In fact, it is probably one of the most popular 44' LRC's ever to be produced by any manufacturer. This is proven by the over 100 boats produced.

The flybridge is accessed by three steps from the aft deck, and the main cabin is accessed by three steps down. The flybridge has a primary helm chair and seating on both sides. Entering the main cabin, the salon has a sofa and two rattan chairs to starboard. There is a television directly aft for easy viewing. The lower helm station and deck access door is forward and to starboard. An engine access hatch is in the floor salon, which houses the genset and air conditioning units. This room is almost stand-up in height for ease of repairs as well as maintenance.

The Master Stateroom is aft and features a queen size centerline berth with storage underneath as well as storage and dressers as well as hanging lockers abundant throughout. The master stateroom also has a private head with a tub/shower arrangement.

Broker's Remarks
Gulfstar is well known for their beautiful teak interiors. She has over 6’ 2â€? headroom throughout the boat and cruises at 1900 burning only 4.5 gallons per hour and 8 knots gives 2 mpg. If you are looking for the ideal live-a board on the water anywhere, then you have to consider “About Timeâ€?. This vessel has been meticulously maintained by the three owners since new and it shows. "About Time is an ideal cruising boat for one or two couples. Fore and aft staterooms are private because they are separated by the salon and each have a head with shower. The displacement hull with a motor yacht layout provides comfort and economy. The fly bridge is great for nice weather and lower helm is cozy for the not so nice days. The seller has made her ready for cruising before his health problems caused him to list her for sale."
