1988 HYUNDAI 48' MOTOR YACHT AFFORDABLE LIVEABOARD PROJECT BOAT

Located in LaBelle, Florida Handy, adventurous and tired of paying too much rent? This 48-foot motor yacht could be your opportunity to create an affordable waterfront home of your own—with a liveaboard slip currently costing approximately per month. This 1988 Hyundai motor yacht was home to a full-time liveaboard for many years. She offers an impressive amount of living space, including private forward and aft cabins, two heads, a large salon, galley, dining area and enclosed upper helm. The boat has an extensive solar-power system with battery storage, along with a working onboard diesel generator. It has been used without shore power, with the solar system supplying power and the generator available for backup. The exact solar and battery capacities are unknown and should be verified by the buyer. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is mechanically capable, comfortable with projects and willing to trade some elbow grease for affordable waterfront living. LIVEABOARD FEATURES: • Approximately 48 feet long • Wide beam providing substantial interior space • Private forward cabin • Large private aft cabin • Two heads with composting toilets • Spacious salon with large windows • Galley with sink, refrigerator, storage and cabinetry • Separate dining area • Enclosed flybridge and upper helm • Extensive solar-panel and battery system • Working onboard diesel generator • Garmin navigation equipment • Large exterior decks • Plenty of interior storage • Marina permits liveaboards • Current slip fee is approximately per month • No shore-power expense currently required MECHANICAL CONDITION: The boat is powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines. Neither main engine currently starts. Both are suspected to have injector or fuel-system issues, but the exact repairs needed have not been professionally confirmed. The onboard diesel generator does start and operate. The boat will need to be repaired at its current location or moved using an appropriately equipped marine towing service. It is being sold as-is, and prospective buyers should inspect the engines, generator, solar system, electrical system, hull and other onboard systems before purchasing. CURRENT CONDITION: The boat has been cleaned up but still needs additional cleaning, repairs, cosmetic improvements and general TLC. The interior is spacious but dated, and the exterior and flybridge will also benefit from attention. This is not a polished, turnkey cruising yacht. It is a large and affordable liveaboard/project boat that needs a capable new owner willing to work through its mechanical and cosmetic needs. For the right person, that work is the tradeoff for owning a tremendous amount of boat and potentially living on the water for considerably less than the cost of a typical Florida apartment. THIS COULD BE A GREAT FIT FOR: • A handy buyer looking for affordable Florida living • A diesel mechanic or mechanically capable owner • Someone interested in an off-grid floating home • A boat renovator looking for a worthwhile project • A future cruiser willing to restore the main engines • Someone who would rather improve something they own than continue paying apartment rent The marina allows liveaboards. The buyer will need to obtain any required marina approval and arrange for continuation or transfer of the slip directly with marina management. The photographs show the boat’s current condition. Serious inquiries and in-person inspections are welcome. Reasonable offers will be considered. Located in LaBelle, Florida.
