Port finished is a well cared for example of a fast freshwater cruiser with newer engines and drives. The layout of the 45 consists of a large cockpit with aft sunpad and table which is great for entertaining and offers a complete enclosure for extended cruising or overnights at the dock. The steep deadrise offers great seakeeping and handles very well in rough water while running much faster than other 40 + foot cruisers. The cabin has a full-sized galley to port with a separate head and shower aft. The forward berth is a queen sized pedestal bed with storage underneath while the mid cabin converts to a massive bed with the dimensions of a king. You will also find a large couch with an open feel to starboard of the galley that can also covert into a third berth. The boat is a great combination of performance while offering large living quarters in the cabin and large/functional cockpit layout perfect for entertaining and cruising!
Located in Traverse City, MI and easy to view. Call to schedule a showing.
