This 1987 Californian 48 Convertible is a three-cabin flybridge cruiser built on a solid fiberglass hull and powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engines producing 1,100 horsepower. The boat reaches 27 knots at top speed and cruises comfortably at 18 knots. Twin remote controls allow operation from either the cockpit or bow, a practical feature for handling docking and mooring work single-handedly.
The three-stateroom layout accommodates larger groups, with the master cabin featuring an en-suite head that includes a bathtub—uncommon at this size. The main salon and galley provide generous entertaining and cruising space, while the flybridge offers excellent sightlines and seating. A hydraulic davit on the bow services a center console tender with a 15 hp Honda outboard.
Recent updates include new batteries installed one year ago, a full-size Frigidaire refrigerator and freezer, props tuned with shaft packing replaced, new water maker membrane, and a newer Magnum inverter and battery charger. The yacht carries Onan 15KW and 4KW generators, LED lighting throughout, electric heating in the salon, and Sirius satellite radio. The tender was recently serviced.
