Twin fresh water cooled Caterpillar 3208TA diesel engines turn 5 bladed propellers on 2" shafts though Twin Disc 1.7:1 reduction gears. The hour meters indicated 3006 (P) and 2994 (S) hours as of date of listing. Both engines have been given extensive maintenance and overhauls though not to a "zero hour level" (please check the bullet points below). The yacht is laid out with a true engine room with 5'-6" headroom, plenty of room to access machinery from the outboard side as well as great accessibility to all other systems along with a work bench! The entire engine room was Awlgripped white along with the engines in 2012 and has been kept to a high standard since!
