This unique and rare GULFSTAR 53 MOTORSAILER is an (enclosed) Center Cockpit Masthead Ketch designed by Vince Lazzara, originally of Columbia Yachts. One of only 27 built, this is the only one believed to be equipped with a Perkins Turbo Diesel T6.354 (380 hrs) with 165hp in the spacious walk-in engine room, instead of the standard 6-354 with 130hp. The Gulfstar 53MS has developed quite a reputation as the cruiser of choice for all types of Ocean conditions, perfect for the island hopping with a shallow draft keel (4.5’). While being 100% ICW friendly (63’ bridge clearance), long range cruising to the Keys, Bahamas, Bermuda, or Atlantic crossings are within reach due to her exceptional range, 500-gallon diesel tank, and sturdy thick molded solid fiberglass hull designed to take any conditions. While 10 kts (11+mph) is easily attained, a cruise speed of 6.5 kts gives a 2.5 gph burn rate (I consulted a math major who tells me this is 3+mpg). SAIL AWAY has recently undergone a complete interior refit featuring a roomy salon (15’ beam), LED lighting, work/office area, large settee, U-shaped dinette, 3 staterooms, 2 heads; with the master having a full-size bathtub/shower and a queen size bed. The boat has ice-cold air-conditioning, infrared heat, washer/dryer, and a full galley. A ProNautic 1250P 50 Amp, 12V, 3-Bank onboard Marine Battery Charger works wherever in the world you cruise. However long you stay in any port of call, the Power Factor Correction and Conservation Energy Saver Mode features of the ProNautic P will ensure maximum battery life and performance for all the batteries (Group 8D engine start, 4 deep cycle house, and the deep cycle dedicated for the windlass). There are also 810w solar panels for the time spent on the hook. Other features:• 3 enormous skylight hatches with covers.• Opening eye-level portholes with sunscreens all around.• Hullsonic Ultrasonic Antifouling - the hull cleaner does an amazing job at preventing growth from the hull & running gear.• Includes a 2009 Achilles 10’ Hard Bottom Inflatable Tender. Everybody knows that if you’ve got a sailboat, you won’t be moving faster than 5-6 kts, and a big powerboat will net you about .4-.5 mpg. A Motorsailer is an awesome “in-between” boat, delivering much better performance than a traditional sailboat and infinitely better economy than a powerboat. This is a U.S. Coast Guard Documented Vessel.
