Fine example of the ever popular 49′ Eastbay HX. Ray Hunt hull design provides incredible ride in all sea conditions. Striking blue hull combined with beautiful varnish inside and out give this boat a timeless, classic look which is hard to beat. But don’t be fooled…This boat is an absolute thoroughbred reaching speeds of 30 knots and being able to maintain mid 20’s with rough conditions.
Straight shaft, inboard diesel power remains one of the most sought-after propulsion types available as they literally dance effortlessly around the docks. Combine this with a bow thruster and a novice can become proficient on operating this yacht very quickly.
Master stateroom is centerline forward which offers excellent sight lines all the way through the companionway to outside. The second stateroom offers an additional head and side by side twin berths. Great airflow throughout the interior, lots of opening ports and super solid, well-built cabinetry and storage simply not found in today’s boats.
HERON has been constantly maintained, lovingly cared for and is ready to glide into any Harbor with confidence and grace. She features dual touch screen Garmins, open array HD radar, bow thruster, new headliner, dinghy on platform and generous double wide helm seat and companion seat (both bench style) for two couples to face forward when cruising together.
Don’t wait, this is one of the good ones……when I placed this boat on the market last time, I had 8 calls on it the first day!!!
