1987/1998/2005/2018 Versilcraft Super Challenger 98′ Motor Yacht. This full time Captain maintained yacht has had constant upgrades through the years. In 2005 the yacht had an engine room overhaul with new ZF transmissions and two new Northern Lights Generators. Engines are three MAN 2842 LE models with 760 hp each, controlled by Kobelt controls. A complete Maretron system was installed and upgraded this year. Galley has new floors, Frig, oven, stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher, along with large capacity washer and dryer.

Full-beam master stateroom with custom king mattress with his and hers head. VIP full-beam stateroom with another custom king mattress en suite. VIP (2) full-beam stateroom with queen custom mattress and en suite. Forward are two crew or extra guest twin bed cabins, both en suite. In 2018 the yacht was fitted with new wood floors in the salon, along with new Italian leather couches and chairs, along with a dining table with a 7-coat piano laquer finish, and 6 leather dining chairs. The salon has a full-service wet bar with fridge and icemaker.

Complete retrofit of exterior and interior electronics, antennas, hard top, 24″ touch-screen, and other touch screens at all control stations. Complete hard top fly bridge enclosure just completed. Fly bridge has dining table for 12, and 2-3 person reclined lounges with cover Biminis if needed. New shafts, cutlass bearings, props, bottom paint, and complete service of the engine cooling systems were completed in 2019. The complete yacht was given an Awlgrip painting in 2018, and it shows. She has Naiad stabilizers, along with a 40 hp bow thruster, and 16–yes–16 Rolls L16, 6-volt AMG batteries for house 24-volt and inverter power.

This yacht has a great look and is set up well for group entertaining, as you have to see the fly bridge to believe the room. This yacht has a Jones Act waver with a MARAD Certificate to allow the boat to charter with a captain for up to 12 guests. Could be a money maker if wanted, with 3-week charters per summer and you’ve paid your yearly expenses. Fuel capacity is 3,500 gallons, fresh water is 745 gallons, and black water is 180 gallons. Too many extras to list, and it won’t hurt to come and take a look. The yacht is owned by an LLC and the taxes have already been paid, so you won’t have to. That’s a $100,000 savings off the top. Located on Seattle’s Lake Union.
