The 1990 Mikelson 48 Sportfisher is a West Coast cruiser designed by Tom Fexas, notable for its distinctive low profile and efficient hull form. Twin Caterpillar 3208TA diesel engines, each rated at 375 horsepower and fresh water cooled, deliver a cruising speed of 20 knots and reach 24 knots at full throttle. The engines have logged approximately 2,700 hours of operation. An under-deck engine room configuration sets this design apart from comparable vessels in her class.
Below decks, the yacht accommodates two staterooms and two heads finished in teak cabinetry. An Onan 8kW generator supplies shore power when cruising away from the dock.
The flybridge is the boat's defining feature—expansive and well-appointed with a circular dinette, forward and aft helm consoles, and broad side decks that enhance safety and usability underway. The sleek profile and open deck plan create an airy, functional cruising platform suited to extended offshore passages.
