The Boat<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Impressive. Strong. Muscular are all adjectives describing the West Bay Sonship 78. It\u2019s a timeless design that exudes elegance. \u00a0Stepping on the expansive swim grid you enter the boat via starboard or port staircases into the vast, covered cockpit. Moving into the salon there is a large couch to port with dual seats to starboard and an integrated TV. \u00a0Heading forward you go up to the large galley and into the pilothouse. Just aft of the well-laid-out helm station is a large dinette that, from its elevated position, offers unobstructed views for everyone through the pilothouse windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is access to the flybridge just next to the galley through a watertight hatch. The flybridge has a large oval seating area with two captain chairs at the helm station. Aft of the covered space is a hot tub as well as storage for the tender and a crane. \u00a0Please note, that a new full enclosure is scheduled to be made spring\/summer of 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, there is lots of space for people to have privacy when they want it as well as entertaining and socializing in comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Power Plant<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Twin, 1350 HP, MTU high-performance diesel engines have enough power to move this 78\u2019 vessel to almost 30 Knots with a comfortable cruise speed of 20 knots at 1800 rpm. With electronic controls, fuel flow sensors, new pumps, and hydraulics, these engines will take you where you need to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022 the current owners hired an MTU-certified technician to go through all the mechanical systems and provide recommendations. All deficiencies and preventative maintenance were addressed, ensuring smooth and dependable operation of the main engines and both generators. \u00a0This was in preparation for a trip to Alaska completed in 2023. All systems are functioning as expected, maintained by a dedicated captain\/engineer and its ready for the next owners to enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
