Manufacturer Provided DescriptionThe 48's traditional exterior profile belies the contemporary performances of her vee-hull. She cruises at 27 knots and at wide open throttle she'll attain more than 32 knots. With the Zeus pod drive system, turns at speed are as exciting as they are in a fine sports car but perhaps even more exhilarating is the quiet that one experiences at cruise speeds. Less than 75 Dba makes her one of the quietest motoryachts available today. The joystick and Skyhook operations give every Captain the confidence to dock her in the most difficult of circumstances.Her raised cockpit sole brings together the social aspects of the cockpit and main salon and the aft end of the house opens up fully to connect the spaces. Her main salon offers ample seating surfaces for entertaining or simply relaxing to read or enjoy the standard entertainment systems. While underway the raised settee to port of the Stidd helm chair is a perfect place for the crew to enjoy the ride. And when docking, a standard side deck door serves her helmsman and crew, well. The two cabin, two head layout is supplemented by a mechanical space forward of the engine room. Optionally, this space can be laid out as a crew quarters with berth and head unit.HullModern planning V-HullVIP Resin infused laminateSAN Corecell foam coringKnitted bi-axial structural reinforcementsFoam/Plywood stringer systemSwim platform with under mounted ladderPVC rub rail with stainless steel capLP painted boot stripGold cove stripeDeckVIP resin infused laminateMolded in anti-skid surfacesAnodized Aluminum framed windowsHelm deck door to starboard side deckLarge diameter stainless steel perimeter railsHerreshoff bow and spring cleatsHorn style aft mooring cleatsLow profile stainless steel opening hatches with shades and screensLow profile pilot hatches in hard topStainless steel anchor rollerL-shaped cockpit seating with folding, high gloss tableMechanicalCummins QSC 8.3 550hp engines with pod drivesCummins electronic controls and Smartcraft displayJoy stick for low speed maneuveringTriple windshield wipers with washersReverse cycle heat and air conditioningZeus automatic trim tab systemAnchor windlass with rope/chain gipsyElectrical50 Amp shore power cord with cord reelGalvanic isolatorIlluminated circuit breaker panel at galley steps120v outlets throughout interior and in engine roomGalley and head receptacles are GFI protected(2) Group 31 AGM Dedicated engine start batteries(3) Group 4D AGM house batteriesLED overhead and reading lights60 Amp 3-bank battery chargerTinned wire used throughoutPlumbingPolyethylene 160usg. water tank20usg stainless steel hot water tankStainless sink in galleyVessel sink in headFresh water flush MSD w/holding tank and maceratorShower stall in head with tempered glass doorSolid surface material and galley and head countertopsMarelon sea valves on all below waterline fittings(3) bilge pumps with high water alarmsSalon / Helm DeckStidd 500N series helm seat and Stazo wood steering wheelUltraleather wrap on helm/ navigation podPort side settee slides to expose utility space belowOptional crew quarters below main salon deckL-settee to starboard with elegant high gloss inlaid tableMates lounge forward with chart locker32” LED Television on liftStainless steel aft bulkhead with bi-fold doorElectrically operated drop down window to starboardCurved safety glass windows in aft cornersGalleySolid surface countertopStainless steel sink and faucetConvection microwave ovenCeramic two burner cook topStainless steel fridge with freezer compartmentStorage in galley lockersFixed deadlight in hull over galley counterOpening stainless steel portlight over galleyCabinsMaster stateroom amidships with queen size island berthGuest cabin forward with queen sized island berthMaster head with glass vessel sink, ceramic tile soleDeadlight in hull side over master berth headboardMaster shower stall with glass divider and glass tile decorAbundant hanging and drawer storage throughoutShoji style passageway doors to master and master headLED televisionsGuest/day head with circular shower enclosureLarge overhead hatches and opening portlightsReverse cycle heat and air conditioningAdditional FeaturesStamoid covers for aft cockpit, transom and both hull sides extending 10 ft fwd. Equipped with FLIR.KVH 5 SAT with matching dummy dome. Separate Garmin display for depth and speed. Separate Garmin display for Auto Pilot. 44 Stainless Steel LB Delta Fast Set anchorDefault DisclaimerThe Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
