1979 Ocean Alexander Mark 1 55

This 1979 Ocean Alexander Mark 1 55 is a fiberglass pilothouse yacht, originally built at 50 feet and later extended to 55 feet. Twin John Deere diesel engines produce 450 horsepower and deliver a cruising speed of 9 knots with a maximum speed of 13 knots. The yacht features three staterooms, two heads, and accommodations designed for extended cruising and comfortable living aboard.

The boat has been substantially updated over its service life. The fuel system comprises four aluminum tanks with a combined capacity of 1,100 gallons. The original teak decks have been replaced with low-maintenance Raptor decking, and the hull has been completely repainted. The galley has been remodeled, and hydronic diesel heating provides climate control throughout.

Equipment includes a Northern Lights 10-kilowatt genset, a watermaker, bow and stern thrusters for maneuvering, a Ross Kelly Olson hydraulic davit, and an extended swim platform. The flybridge includes an enclosure. These systems and upgrades reflect considerable investment in the yacht's reliability and ease of operation.
