Accommodations and Commments

This classic motor yacht features a three cabin layout with a large salon and a roomy aft deck. The owner's stateroom is aft and has port and starboard twin beds with a private bathroom with a large shower plus ample storage. The other aft stateroom also has twin beds and is located along the port side. The aft companionway has an additional head as well as a washer and dryer compartment. The large salon features great woodwork and lots of windows for light and ventilation. Moving forward is a large fully equipped galley to starboard and a u-shaped dinette on the port side. All the way forward is a large v-berth with a private head and many storage areas.

The comfortable  aft deck and helm area features lots of room for the crew plus the large helm seat that has a built in wet bar. The side decks are wide and easy to get around. The large bow area is a great place to relax  with its built-in seating and room for chairs. The hardtop over the aft deck has a low-profile 1,000 pound davit.

Electrical and Mechanical Systems

In 2002/2003 Volvo Penta factory personnel re-powered the boat with new D12C-AMP 700hp diesels. This install included new transmissions and shafts, plus a new Westerbeke 12.5KW generator. At some point during the last owner's tenure (bought the boat in 2013 with 450 hours on the engines) the starboard engine was overheated and damaged. That owner has signed the boat over to the marina where the boat is located. Included in the asking price of the boat will be a re-build of the starboard engine and replacement of the starboard transmission.
