1987 Lien Hwa 47 Cockpit Motoryacht

This 1987 Lien Hwa 47 is a fiberglass motoryacht built in Taiwan, measuring 47 feet on deck with a 14-foot-11-inch beam. Twin Caterpillar 3116 diesel engines produce 350 horsepower each, delivering a cruising speed of 10 knots and maximum speed of 14 knots. The yacht carries 575 gallons of fuel and 300 gallons of fresh water, with systems for monitoring both. Electric trim tabs and a bow thruster aid handling and maneuverability.

The interior accommodates two staterooms: an aft master with a queen berth and ensuite head, and a forward guest cabin with a walk-around bed and private head. The galley features a three-burner stove with oven, double refrigerators including an upright unit at the wet bar, ice maker, microwave, and trash compactor. A washer-dryer combination and hot water systems—both 115V AC and Webasto hydronic heating across six zones—provide comfortable living. The salon includes entertainment electronics and multiple television sets distributed throughout.

Navigation equipment comprises Raymarine Axiom displays at both lower helm and flybridge (added 2018), an autopilot, VHF with AIS and DSC, and compasses at each steering station. A Maxwell Nilsson windlass manages the ground tackle, with chain and dual anchors aboard. The electrical system runs 12V DC and 120V AC power, supported by a Northern Lights 9kW generator installed in 2015 with minimal running hours.

Recent maintenance includes new transmission coolers and serviced heat exchangers in 2023, new bilge pumps, replacement of the windlass in 2019, and updated bottom paint. The boat comes with an 11-foot RIB tender and a davit for deployment. Flybridge bimini and full canvas enclosure complete the weather protection.
