1989 Slickcraft Tiara

This 31-foot Slickcraft Tiara is a twin-engine cruiser built on a fiberglass hull with an 11-foot beam. It runs two Mercruiser 350 cubic inch V8 engines producing 550 total horsepower and cruises at 26 knots. The boat sleeps six across forward and aft cabins, with a dinette that converts to an additional bed.

The interior includes fresh upholstery throughout the cockpit and cabin, a new headliner, and new isinglass. The galley is equipped with a microwave, electric stove, and refrigerator. A full shower and air conditioning are installed. Entertainment features include a JBP amplifier, 12-inch subwoofer, and four Kicker 6.5-inch speakers. Navigation is handled by a Garmin fish finder and chart plotter. Additional equipment includes a built-in seat cooler and color-changing accent LED lighting.

Recent engine work included new bellows, ignition coils, spark plug wires, spark plugs, belts, batteries, throttle and shift cables, propellers, and anodes. The alternators were rebuilt. The drive systems received new bellows as well. The boat does not have an onboard generator; instead a separate Honda 2000-watt portable unit is available with storage and tie-downs in the engine room, along with the electrical connection cable.

Last winter the hull was wet-sanded to remove light scratches and hand-waxed. The boat has a dry weight of 8,500 pounds.
