Gulfstar 49 MY

This is a really great live aboard boat! with three queen sized bedrooms and three full baths. a home sized galley with a four burner stove and a house sized refrigerator and storage just everywhere! I loved living here but need to move on. I really do hope for the best for this boat and know her next owner is just going to love her.

Understand this is an older boat and one can always find something to do. something to sand, to varnish, to wire, to tighten... it's not just a boat its a big boat, but then again she is a very good boat and she has a really amazing layout. Hands down the best designed boat for living aboard. With 3 beds and 3 baths!!! shes a home.

The helm need the most work, but both engines start right up and and have run great for me in the past. The genset starts right up too. The genset could use some work on her ground wire. The steering needs to be pressurized again before she goes anywhere. Added a panel between the engines in the engine room so I could start and stop them at them. it's hard to hear what they are doing from the helm. also recently bought a cruise air system 30k btu with reverse cycle... big enough to do the climate control for the whole boat I'm about 50% done connecting her (all you now). Oh and I have the rub rails and bimini hardware lose... but complete.

understand your getting a real deal! The twin turbo engines alone are worth 15-20k a piece and another 10 for the genset!

any questions just ask...
