2003 Novatec Islander 55

Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States

$424,900

Lady Di is a very well thought out and high quality build offering a very spacious interior with an air conditioned aft deck and fly-bridge and a wonderfully versatile aft cockpit.

Professionally Awlgripp Awlcraft 2000 painted by Owl Creek Boat Works with a Furuno/Garmin Electronics package, this is a extensively updated, turnkey offering that is truly ready to cruise.

She is a great loop veteran, and fully equipped to complete the journey. Offering great fuel economy as a trawler but allowing for a good turn of speed when desired. Approximate bridge clearance is 19' w/electronics up and 17' w/electronics down so she will clear the bridge in Chicago.

This is a must see immaculate vessel for the adventurous cruiser or live-aboard for desiring to own a very well kept yacht that one can be proud to call their own.

Vessel Highlights-Air Draft-Fuel Consumption

At 900 RPM's fuel consumption is 4.5 GPH. Range with a 10% reserve is 1100 miles. At high cruise: 1830 RPM'S give an 18.5 knot cruise @45 GPH. Less than 50 hours of operation at this speed. For the great loop trip to reduce the vessel air draft from its normal 21 foot, (with antennas lowered) the following is done:
Lowering the mast light, (swivels on bracket) will give an air draft under 19 foot.
Removing the Satellite TV dome, Weather Receiver and Radar will give an air draft under 17 feet. (Very Easily Done)
