This 54-foot Chesapeake Custom Deadrise represents a serious build in the storied Bay style. The fiberglass hull measures 16.5 feet across the beam and is powered by twin Cummins diesel engines producing 1,340 horsepower combined, delivering a cruising speed of 23 knots and a top speed of 28 knots. The engines underwent extensive work in 2024, with maintenance records on file. Twin bow thrusters at both helm stations make docking and close-quarters handling straightforward.
The cockpit is notably spacious—more than 2.5 times larger than a typical sportfishing boat of comparable length—offering serious working room and comfort. Electronics have been upgraded to the current Raymarine Axiom suite. The boat was built to COI standards, reflecting its practical design and construction. Fuel efficiency pairs well with the Cummins powerplants, making extended time on the water economical.
