1973 Elliott Yachtfisher

A 1973 Elliott Yachtfisher, this 50-foot fiberglass sportfisher is powered by twin Cummins QSC 8.3 diesel engines producing 550 horsepower each, paired with a Walter V-drive and Twin Disc gears. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 24 to 25 knots and cruises efficiently at 12 knots, burning approximately 1 gallon per hour at 10.5 knots. Navigation and control systems include NavNet 3D with three display units, a ComNav autopilot, a CHIRP sounder, and ZF electronic controls.

Power and hotel load are managed by a Northernlights 20-kilowatt genset, a Magnum inverter, and four 8D house batteries, with two additional 8D batteries for starting and windlass operation. The electrical panel controls a powered windlass and twin propellers that have been recently balanced and polished.

The 2017 interior renovation included a complete rebuild of the salon, galley, and V-berth. In 2024, the pilothouse was refurbished with new upholstery, and the cockpit received an Awlgrip finish. Recent 2025 work encompassed new bottom paint, cutless and mid-bearing replacement, new shaft packing glands for both shafts and rudders, polished shafts, new through-hulls, underwater lighting, and an Eskimo ice chipper. The 2007 refit involved a comprehensive deck restoration—stripped to plywood, repaired, and reglassed—along with new windows and all-stainless hardware.
