This 1997 48' Ocean Yachts Super Sport is in Turn-Key fishing condition. The 48 has an unusually wide 16' beam and is an effortless cruiser with its sea-kindly hull and comfortable 25 knot cruising speed. Inside, the plush decor is very impressive. Powered by twin 6v92 DDEC Detroit Diesel Engines, she starts clean and cruise strong at 25 kts, 30 kt top speed. New 3-sided EZ2CY helm enclosure and updated Garmin and Simrad Electronics, with Autopilot. The spacious three stateroom, 2 full head and shower floorplan is comparable to one that would be found on a larger yacht. The bridge is well equipped with electronics and is equipped with Rupp standoffs and outriggers. Finally, this 48' Ocean was purchased new on Lake Michigan and exclusively used in the Great Lakes until 2014 when brought to the upper Chesapeake Bay, moving to the Lower Chesapeake Bay in 2021, where she has been "family-fished". Easy to see, Whaler is now located at Bluewater Yacht Sales in Hampton, VA.
