Description

PRELIMINIARY LISTING!

This very popular, William Crealock designed Offshore 54, represents a most unusual 3 cabin layout seldom found in a classic pilot house cruiser in this size range. The updated and just fully serviced Caterpillar 3126 engines, with 450 HP, give extremely efficient cruising speeds (1 GPH @ 10 Knots) plus a top speed of 17 knots if needed.

The efficiency and speed with these engines is directly influenced by the Zero Speed internal stabilizers in the lazarette.

Note: To potential buyers of this great design: The seller of "Safari" has owned her for twenty years...Take advantage of a most experienced boater who wishes the next owner the same enjoyment that he has had during his cruising years with Safari.
