1998 Ocean Yachts 48 Express

This 1998 Ocean Yachts 48 Express is a fiberglass sportfish powered by twin Caterpillar 3406E diesel engines producing 800 horsepower each. The boat reaches speeds up to 35 knots and cruises at 29 knots, with approximately 4,000 hours on the engines. A comprehensive list of upgrades over recent years includes new intercoolers and aftercoolers, replacement turbos, life raft, battery systems, generator, and propulsion controls, along with updated navigation electronics featuring twin 16-inch Garmin displays with HD radar and fishfinder.

The accommodation layout separates the master stateroom forward from the guest stateroom aft of the salon, each with private facilities. The master cabin includes a private head and shower, while the guest stateroom has oversized twin beds. The galley is well-appointed and connects to a spacious air-conditioned salon with L-shaped seating.

The helm station is fully enclosed with climate control and seating for ten, positioned on a raised centerline deck that provides excellent sightlines. Recent updates to onboard systems include two Aqua-Air reverse-cycle heating and air-conditioning units, new hot water heater, stereo with new speakers, flat-screen televisions, and updated galley appliances. The 2022 bottom blasting with barrier coat and routine hose replacements underscore ongoing maintenance and upkeep throughout the vessel's systems.
