This 1983 Ocean Alexander 43 is a diesel-powered motor yacht built on a fiberglass hull with a 14.5-foot beam. Twin Ford Lehman 135-horsepower engines drive the boat to 8.5 knots at cruising speed and 12.7 knots at full throttle, burning just 6 gallons per hour total at cruise. Bow and stern thrusters provide confident maneuvering, and the semi-displacement hull design delivers a stable, dry ride. A custom aluminum hardtop spans the flybridge and aft cabin areas, offering durability and low maintenance.
The accommodations include two staterooms—the aft cabin features a walkaround queen bed, while the forward cabin has a raised V-berth. Two heads, each with a full shower and electric toilet, serve the living spaces. The salon opens to an airy galley fitted with a Force-10 four-burner propane stove and oven, full-size refrigerator, and Corian countertops. Large windows throughout the salon and dining area provide natural light, while ultra-leather seating adds comfort to main living areas.
Navigation and cruise systems include twin GPS units, Raytheon SL70 radar, a 6-kilowatt Onan generator, and a 2,500-watt inverter. A Webasto diesel furnace supplies heat throughout, and both hot and cold water systems extend to the aft deck sink. The electric anchor windlass handles 300 feet of chain with a 60-pound CQR anchor. Teak accents appear on the swim platform, transom ladder, and main weather decks, while newly installed stainless steel porthole frames add freshness to the exterior.
Engine hours show 3,972 on the port side and 4,032 on the starboard. Zincs were replaced in June 2025, and the bottom was painted in 2023. An oil change is scheduled for May 2026, with oil sample reports available. The boat is equipped with two automatic bilge pumps, 500 gallons of fuel capacity, and a 230-gallon fresh water tank.
