The 2001 Rosborough 246 Custom Wheelhouse is a rare and highly sought-after example of Rosborough's legendary RF-246 wheelhouse and pilothouse design. This particular boat stands apart from most Rosborough 246s with its Yanmar 4LH-HTE 150 HP four-cylinder turbocharged diesel inboard, a highly desirable power configuration for those looking for efficiency, range, reliability and capability in a compact cruising boat.

The Yanmar 4LH-HTE diesel is freshwater cooled through a heat exchanger, adding another desirable feature to an already exceptional power package. Even more noteworthy, this is a lifetime freshwater boat, offering an especially attractive combination of engine, hull and overall condition for its next owner.

The Rosborough 246 was designed around a rugged, capable Downeast-style hull, making it well suited to a wide variety of uses including cruising, fishing, coastal exploring, Great Lakes boating, diving and all-weather operation. Its enclosed wheelhouse provides excellent protection from wind, spray and changing weather while maintaining excellent visibility and an open, comfortable feel.

Bright, Airy Custom Wheelhouse

The custom wheelhouse is one of the boat's standout features. It is bright, airy and open, with excellent visibility and plenty of natural light. The wheelhouse provides a comfortable space for operating the boat in virtually any weather and includes a practical galley area with sink, and cooktop.

For a boat of this size, the accommodations are exceptionally useful. Forward is a comfortable V-berth, while a separate enclosed head provides privacy and convenience for cruising and extended days aboard.

Rare Yanmar Diesel Inboard

The heart of this Rosborough 246 is its Yanmar 4LH-HTE 150 HP turbocharged diesel inboard.

Diving & Watersports Ready

This Rosborough is also set up for diving if desired, making it an especially versatile platform for owners who want to use the boat for more than cruising and fishing.

A full-width swim platform with SeaDek provides a comfortable and practical area at the stern for boarding, swimming, diving and enjoying time on the water.
