This 1985 Ponderosa 40 is a fiberglass motor yacht powered by twin Lehman diesel engines producing 270 horsepower combined, with approximately 3,200 hours on the engines. The boat cruises at 9 knots and reaches 18 knots at top speed. A 4kW Westerbeke generator provides shore power capacity, with roughly 1,800 hours of operation.
The interior layout centers on a galley and dinette amidships, with an aft master stateroom featuring an en-suite head and walk-around queen berth, and a forward guest stateroom with twin bunks and its own head. The 13-foot beam provides comfortable proportions throughout.
Recent upgrades span multiple years: 2018 brought a combination washer/dryer, Force 10 gas stove and oven, Uline ice maker, Garmin chartplotters and radar, and a West Marine RIB dinghy. The 2023 refit included replacement of all through-hulls, cooling water intakes, manifolds, and fuel filters. In 2025, the batteries, inverter, isolator transformer, Webasco diesel furnace, and a combination convection microwave were installed or replaced.
