1979 Roughwater Pilothouse

Designed for economical ocean cruising with a semi-displacement hull, Roughwater boats are known for their ability to handle storms, offering a safe and comfortable yacht ideal for year-round cruising.

This model is powered by a reliable single Perkins 6-cylinder engine, producing 185hp, and features a bow thruster for enhanced maneuverability. It cruises efficiently at 8 knots, consuming just 2 gallons per hour.

A desirable design by Ed Monk, Sr., this version includes a cockpit with a walk-through transom, an aft cabin deck with a factory hardtop, and a pilothouse offering excellent visibility and a well-thought-out seating arrangement. The main cabin, with its salon and galley on the same level, features large windows, a starboard side Dutch door, and a generous 13-foot beam, creating a spacious interior. It offers two staterooms—fore and aft—and two head compartments, one with a separate shower stall, ensuring comfort and privacy.
