1987 Symbol 44 Sun Deck MK II

This 1987 Symbol 44 Sun Deck MK II is a fiberglass sedan bridge built during the Taiwan shipyard's established period of quality construction. Twin Caterpillar diesel engines produce 750 horsepower combined, allowing the boat to cruise at 11 knots or reach 19 knots at full throttle. The design also runs efficiently on a single engine at 7.5 knots, consuming approximately 4.3 gallons per hour.

The layout includes two staterooms, each with an en-suite head and separate shower. Additional sleeping berths are located at the dinette and flybridge, making the boat suitable for two couples or a family. The accommodations and systems have been configured for extended cruising and anchoring, with particular attention paid to water storage and self-sufficiency during longer passages.

The boat's previous owner, a mechanical engineer, undertook substantial updates before cruising the Atlantic Coast, Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. The owner's three-month island cruise required only two nights of marina dockage, demonstrating the boat's capability for independent operation and its robust systems.
