1980 Roughwater 41 Pilothouse - Extensively Refit | John Deere Repower | Exceptional Condition
This 1980 Roughwater 41 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly turn-key example of this respected Ed Monk Sr. design. An all-fiberglass model, she has benefited from an extensive multi-year refit with a clear emphasis on mechanical reliability, system modernization, and long-range cruising capability.
Renowned naval architect Ed Monk Sr. is widely regarded as one of the most influential designers of Pacific Northwest cruising yachts, with a legacy that includes designs for builders such as Grand Banks, Tollycraft, Ocean Alexander, and numerous custom pilothouse and trawler-style vessels. His designs are celebrated for their seaworthiness, efficiency, and practical layouts-qualities that are fully evident in the Roughwater 41.
She is powered by a John Deere 4045 series diesel with only 105 hours, offering modern efficiency and reliability. A Kohler 6EKOD generator (114 hours) provides dependable onboard power. The vessel is current on all services and presents in outstanding condition throughout.
The boat has been completely rewired with a custom AC/DC electrical panel, bringing her systems in line with modern standards. Her equipment suite reflects thoughtful upgrades geared toward serious cruising, safety, and ease of operation.
The vessel shows exceptionally well and reflects knowledgeable ownership with a no-expense-spared approach to maintenance and upgrades. She is ideally suited for extended coastal cruising or liveaboard use.
Remarks:
Roughwater 41s are known for their seaworthiness, efficient cruising characteristics, and practical pilothouse layout. Finding an all-fiberglass example with this level of refit and a modern repower is increasingly rare. In April of 2026, she received fresh bottom paint, varnish, and a new battery for the main propulsion engine.
