1997 Bluewater Yachts 510

This 1997 Bluewater Yachts 510 is a 51-foot fiberglass motor yacht engineered for shallow-water cruising. Twin Crusader 502 inboard engines produce 800 hp and cruise at 14 knots with low original hours on the engines. The hull features a Kevlar-reinforced bow and built-in bow ladder, with a 30-inch draft enabling access to waters unreachable by comparable vessels. New bronze propellers are fitted, and ground tackle includes a main anchor with all-chain rode plus a secondary Danforth anchor.

Power and climate systems include a 4000-watt inverter, an 11 kW diesel generator with dedicated 55-gallon tank providing extended autonomous operation, and a new forward air-conditioning unit. The expansive flybridge offers wide seating for entertaining, topped by a Bimini shade cover and equipped with a refrigerator and upper helm station. A lower helm inside accommodates navigation during rough weather. Two deck chairs are positioned in the aft cockpit.

Accommodations comprise two cabins plus a flexible salon layout with dining area that converts into two additional berths, offering sleeping capacity for eight. The forward cabin features a large cedar closet; the aft cabin has abundant windows and an en-suite bathroom with cedar closet storage. Both heads have been fully replaced. The galley features granite countertops, extensive cabinetry with deep pantry storage, electric two-burner stove, microwave convection oven, full-sized refrigerator, and built-in dishwasher. Interior flooring throughout is water-resistant wood-look hard composite.

Electronics include Garmin GPS and digital depth gauges. Two televisions and a Bluetooth upper stereo system provide entertainment. A step-through sliding door from the aft cabin opens to a private patio area suitable for reading, fishing, or swimming.
