The Seamaster 48MY is a spacious and comfortable sundeck motoryacht, evocative of the classic styling made famous by Jack Hargrave & Hatteras. Layout & accommodations include three staterooms (master aft), three baths, a generous salon w/2-stool breakfast bar, full galley and convertible dinette (down), all wrapped in the warmth of teak wood interior & joinery. Her exterior features boast enough room on the sundeck, the bridge deck and even the foredeck to accommodate a small army. Down below, the voluminous engine room houses a pair of Caterpillar 3208 TI diesel engines known and respected for efficiency & durability (approximately 2800 hours each). Away from shore, the 12.5kW Westerbeke generator provides ample power for systems & climate control.
REDHEAD has been owned & loved by the same family for more than 20 years, where she lives in fresh water, under cover on the navigable Tennessee TomBigbee Waterway. Due to the loss of her patriarch owner, the family made the decision to offer her to new owners for many more years of yachting enjoyment.
Whether you are looking for a weekend condo, a spacious live-aboard and/or a very comfortable cruising motoryacht, you would be challenged to find more value per dollar than REDHEAD.
