Extensively upgraded with over $75,000 invested (2021-2026), this classic 40 Tri-Cabin has been transformed into a fast, capable, and turn-key Pacific Northwest cruiser. Repowered with twin Yanmar 6LPA-STP diesels (315 hp each) and fresh gears, she cruises efficiently and reaches 24+ knots - a rare and significant performance upgrade over original configurations.
Built on the proven Tollycraft hull with wide side decks, a spacious aft deck, and full flybridge, she retains the layout buyers love while adding modern systems, updated interiors, and reliable mechanicals. With comfortable accommodations for 6+, she is equally suited for cruising, entertaining, or liveaboard use.
