One of the most customized and well-regarded sportfishers on the West Coast — Motivator — is now available for sale. This is a rare opportunity to own a legendary, highly upgraded platform built for serious anglers and long-range adventure seekers.
Originally built by Pacifica in Costa Mesa in 1982, Motivator underwent an extensive 3.5-year refit at Basin Marine in 2006 — transforming her into a 54’ powerhouse with unmatched systems and capabilities. The hull was extended from 50' to 54’, maximizing cockpit space and fishability.
No expense was spared during the rebuild — Motivator was completely repowered, rewired, replumbed, and outfitted with all-new tanks, interior, electronics, custom metalwork, Key Power stabilizers, and a refrigeration/freezer system rivaling vessels twice her size. Her custom bait system is simply without equal.
Every element of Motivator has been carefully engineered to maximize fishability, safety, range, comfort, and storage for extended long-range cruising. Don’t miss your chance to chance to own a true legend of west coast sportfishers!
A 2018 Novurania 13.5' tender is included in the sale.
