This 1985 Tollycraft 48 Cockpit Motor Yacht exemplifies the enduring appeal of Ed Monk Jr.'s design and Pacific Northwest build quality. The semi-displacement hull features a sharp entry, deep forefoot, and full-length keel for prop protection, while the 15-foot beam delivers outstanding stability and seaworthiness. Twin Caterpillar 3208 turbo diesel engines provide efficient cruising at 14 to 16 knots with excellent range, and the shallow 3-foot-2-inch draft opens access to numerous anchorages. The fiberglass hull, wide side decks with high bulwarks, protected running gear, and 38,000-pound displacement create a robust and seaworthy platform.
The interior layout comprises two cabins and two heads, with a spacious galley featuring a three-burner stove with oven, dual stainless steel sink, refrigerator/freezer, and microwave alongside generous storage and countertop space. The salon and teak-trimmed accommodations offer comfortable living for extended cruising or liveaboard use. The galley and salon are supported by abundant storage throughout.
Equipment includes three-zone air conditioning with heating, a Northern Lights genset, dual Racor fuel filters, Victron battery charger, ProSine inverter, trim tabs, and a Warn electric dinghy hoist. Navigation systems comprise two SIMRAD GPS/plotters, SIMRAD radar with display, autopilot, Raymarine ST40 depth finder, and dual VHF radios. Two Vacuflush heads, a sea fire suppression system, and a life raft enhance comfort and safety. A live well is mounted at the swim step.
Recent maintenance includes shaft seals and cutlass bearings replaced in 2026, bottom paint and isinglass refreshed in 2025 and 2026 respectively, house and engine batteries installed in 2024, waterpump with solenoids in 2024, genset fuel pump in 2023, and sea fire suppression system in 2021.
