"Happy Our's" is perhaps the best-maintained 48 Ocean Sport Convertible in the market.
The current owner has been hands-on with his boat for over 10 years and has made numerous improvements since purchasing it.
Powered by twin 6V92 Detroit engines, with the Starboard engine recently rebuilt only 2 hours ago.
This 48 Ocean is worth a look if you're serious about getting on the water soon.
At this price and condition, the boat will not be available for long.
The latest in a series of 48-foot convertibles from Ocean Yachts, the most recent 48 Super Sport has a wider beam than her predecessors with a more rakish profile (the house is carried farther forward on the deck), greater bow flare, and a deeper forefoot for an improved head sea ride. Like all Ocean designs, her low-deadrise, tapered hull is quick to accelerate and fast across the water performance characteristics common to most Jersey-style fishing boats over the years. A pair of galley-up floor plans are offered in the Ocean 48, one with three staterooms and the other with two. Both layouts have walkaround queen berths in the master stateroom, and both have two heads with separate stall showers. The cockpit comes fully equipped with a bait-prep station, freezer, transom door, teak covering boards, and an in-deck fish box. Additional features include cockpit engine room access, wide side decks, and a spacious, well-arranged flybridge. Among several engine choices, early models with 535hp 6V-92s cruise at 24 knots (about 28 knots top).
