1986 Ocean Alexander 48 Flush Deck yacht cruising on scenic waterway.

Description

This is a rare Ocean Alexander flushdeck motoryacht--most OAs were sedan-style boats--and is PRISTINE: she's been a local boat with a handful of long term owners since 1993, has always been professionally maintained and shows practically as new inside and out today.

Some highlights include a beautifully updated galley, new soft goods (including carpets and mattresses) and furnishings throughout, custom aft deck hardtop and enclosure with tinted glass sliding side windows and solid wing doors, fully enclosed flybridge, custom finish work on the aft deck and salon including built in entertainment system and wine rack, new soft goods(including carpets throughout, they look like they've never been walked on) and beautiful custom finished teak interior joinery, VacuFlush toilets (this was a HUGE project as it was very difficult to run the required hoses), substantial work in the engine room and to the low time (620 hours) Cummins diesels, an easy-to-use (and very expensive) kneeling davit, much more (check out the custom folding boarding ladder for example, also very expensive!).

As you'd expect from a vessel designed by Ed Monk, she's substantially built and will handle typically boisterous Bay conditions with ease. She's also a wide boat and this beam makes her surprisingly spacious (even for a 48' motoryacht, which has alot of room to begin with) both topside and below--note 6'5+ headroom throughout including both staterooms and flybridge enclosure.

This is one of the nicest boats we've seen in years (both in terms of maintenance and decoarating) and she really must be seen to be appreciated.

Note wonderful Sausalito Yacht Harbor slip (in the E Dock turning basin with magnificent views including San Francisco and Mt. Tam) can potentially transfer. There's a years-long wait to get a slip of this size in the marina here so this is a material benefit if you're able to take advantage...

Vessel shown by appointment, please.

Note interior of the vessel has the beautiful joinery for which OA is rightfully known and shows MUCH newer than actual age with 6'5 headroom throughout, both stateroom closets are cedar lined, reverse cycle heat/air (and it works a charm on BOTH cycles!).

Deck and Hull Equipment

Heavily built hand laid FRP semi-displacement hull, balsa cored fiberglass decks with molded nonskid and a fully enclosed flybridge. Vessel professionally maintained with hull and topsides showing much newer than actual age (brightwork is PERFECT!), last hauled and bottom painted September 2016.

45 lb CQR plough style anchor on bow roller with heavy duty Maxwell-Nilsson vertical shaft electric windlass, ample chain and line rode. Roskelley/Olsson transom mounted kneeling davit. And one final note: there's a custom folding boarding ladder installed on the port side of the vessel; this would be a $20,000 project if undertaken today.
