1988 Symbol Motor Yacht

SELLER DESCRIPTION

SHOWS LIKE NEW AND VERY FUEL EFFICIENT!! Lots of room aboard this very well-maintained motoryacht; the Symbol line has a quality build, upscale finish-materials, and attention to detail not seen on the other Taiwanese motoryachts. As an example, note 316 SSTL fuel tanks... Exceptionally clean engine-room! Unlike diesels that should be run hard, this boat's gas Mercruisers last a long time when turning slowly, and indeed have been conservatively cruised at 1800 rpm by this and previous owner; quiet, relaxed sound! Unusual in this style of boat, gas power equates to: easy owner-maintenance, inexpensive repairs, no onboard diesel smell or exhaust-smoking, and less costly per-gallon fuel price. At trawler-like 8-knot speed, this boat has trawler-like efficiency of only 4 gph, but her motoryacht layout gives far more exterior AND interior space than similar-sized trawlers... AND when conditions demand, push the throttles to 4000 rpm and she'll go up to 20 knots! Newest-version Furuno NavNet navigation electronics, 10" display, wired to mount at upper or lower helm. And a new Rosskelley-Olson crane to put Avon console-steering dinghy atop the aft-deck hardtop. If CLEAN is your criterion, come see this one!
