1981 Ocean Alexander 50 Pilothouse

This 1981 Ocean Alexander 50 Pilothouse is a fiberglass pilothouse yacht extended to 55 feet, powered by twin John Deere diesel engines producing 600 horsepower total. The boat cruises at 9 knots with a maximum speed of 13 knots. It features bow and stern thrusters, electronic controls across three stations, and comprehensive navigation equipment including new Garmin electronics.

The interior layout includes three staterooms and two heads. The galley has been remodeled, and the cabin features hydronic diesel heating and a Village Marine water maker. A Northern Lights genset provides power generation. The helm is fitted with a Stidd chair and new flybridge enclosure, with electronic controls at three positions throughout the boat.

Major recent work includes complete repainting, repowering with the John Deere engines, replacement of original tanks with three aluminum tanks, and extensive brightwork restoration with sterling paint for durability. New stainless steel ports have been installed, upholstery replaced, and the teak decks refinished in non-skid. A hydraulic davit is aboard, along with a new tender and 50-horsepower four-stroke outboard. The boat was kept in covered moorage.
