"Hoosier Daddy" has been the beneficiary of like minded owners with a maintenance forward approach to ensure no surprises while cruising. Her maintenance schedule is fully up to date and is mechanically maintained by the best that her area of boating offers.
During the summer months (May - Nov) she is stored indoors within a climate controlled hurricane rated facility. Doing so keeps her out of harms way and drastically reduces the time in the elements, which has helped her maintain a much newer appearance!
The 48 Sabre's interior accommodations are always a crowd pleaser with her mid ship master stateroom featuring a large en-suite head, forward VIP with en-suite head, as well as a third cabin / crew quarters. This particular vessel was equipped the the third cabin berth, work bench, refrigeration, as well as a separate washer and dryer. It is no surprise that the 48 was and is the most popular, sought after model from Sabre Yachts.
It would be our pleasure to walk you through "Hoosier Daddy", give us a call today to schedule your private viewing!
