Description
The owner of THE DOG HOUSE had one thing in mind when he commissioned the yacht. He wanted to build the best 55 Talaria possible. He succeeded! The Dog House is one of the most highly optioned 55' Talaria MKII's ever built with more than $800,000 in upgrades installed on the boat. The yacht was built with long voyages in mind so comfort was extremely important. The Seakeeper 9 gyrostabilizer was installed to reduce the fatigue on long trips and at anchor, and the larger CAT ACERT C18's were installed for the added power.
The list of options goes on to include:
