1996 President 545

The 1996 President 545 is a 54-foot fiberglass motor yacht powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines delivering 730 horsepower. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 20 knots and cruises comfortably at 16 knots. Its 16-foot beam supports an open-plan layout designed to feel spacious throughout.

The saloon serves as the main living area, featuring custom cabinetry, sweeping counters, and multiple appliances including a Miele dishwasher, full-size freezer, and separate drawer freezers and refrigerators. The galley runs along the port side with counter space for multiple cooks working simultaneously. A large pantry and dedicated utility closet add practical storage. The master stateroom features a king-sized walk-around bed with quality woodwork and hanging lockers; a second head adjoins this cabin. The guest stateroom includes convertible sleeping arrangements and is positioned separately from the owner's quarters. A forward head serves as an oversized dedicated bathroom with teak accents.

The aft deck is protected by a hardtop and includes multiple grills for entertaining. Access to the sundeck comes via a gangway and clear wing doors. A Boston Whaler tender is carried aboard. The flybridge offers commanding sightlines and accommodates extended cruising with full instrumentation at the lower station.

Standard systems include hydraulic steering, Bennett trim tabs, three air conditioning zones (two 16,000-BTU and one 120,000-BTU), a 12.5-kilowatt Northern Lights generator, FRP radar arch with lighting, and a 50-amp auto battery charger. The cabin sole combines teak and holly in the galley and dinette areas. The yacht features washer and dryer appliances and real cabinetry throughout.
