1989 Buddy Davis 47

This 47-foot Buddy Davis convertible is built on a fiberglass hull and powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8V-92 engines producing 1,470 horsepower total. The design carries the distinctive Carolina flare characteristic of Buddy Davis builds, with a 16-foot beam that provides substantial volume and stability. The engines underwent major overhaul in 2014 and the yacht is equipped with a new Northern Lights generator, hydraulic steering, and comprehensive engine-room systems including oil-change apparatus, fuel priming, automatic fire suppression, and bilge management.

The flybridge accommodates multiple crew and guests with wrap-around seating and teak helm chairs. Navigation and communication gear includes dual Garmin 3210 chartplotters, a Garmin 5215 display, Garmin radar, Simrad AP25 autopilot, and ICOM M504 VHF radio. The full flybridge enclosure, pipewelders top, spreader lights, and updated electronics support extended offshore fishing operations. A Maxwell windlass handles anchor control and a Rupp outrigger system is installed.

The cockpit is purpose-built for fishing, featuring a teak fighting chair, teak tackle center, underdeck fish box, fresh and saltwater washdowns, cockpit bait freezer, new underwater lights, and a large tuna door in the transom. Below deck, the saloon showcases teak and holly flooring, teak cabinetry with Corian countertops, recessed LED dimmable lighting, teak blinds, and an entertainment system with flat-screen television. The U-shaped galley features a new ceramic cooktop, upgraded GE Monogram refrigerator-freezer, microwave, Corian countertops, and undermounted stainless sink.

Accommodations include a master stateroom with full queen berth, mirrored cabinetry, cedar-lined hanging locker, and private head with vacu flush and shower, plus a guest stateroom with stacked bunks and dedicated head. Recent interior refits include new headliners, wall coverings, soft goods, and flooring throughout. Climate control via dedicated Cruiseair systems, water filtration, and a water heater complete the package.
