    52 Cockpit Motor Yacht

    We've been searching, looking at photos, looking at floor plan layouts. We're getting closer. Seems like we're moving toward the 52 Cockpit Motor Yacht. The cockpit satisfies our big requirement of being able to step from the dinghy or floating dock onto the swim platform, into a cockpit and maybe a couple of steps up to the aft deck without needing big steps from a dock or climbing a ladder. It also has the overall elbow room of an aft cabin, which is important to us.

    Anyone have one and willing to comment on it, advantages and drawbacks? Anyone know anything interesting about the history of that model, the design, etc?

    It appears engine room access is gained by lifting the stairs that go from the salon down to the galley/dinette. Is this true? And then what, there are a couple of additional steps into the engine room? Is it stand up height (I'm 5' 10") or close to it?

    Thanks for any details.

    Not stand up for sure.

    Sounds like the engine room is a tight fit.

    John, have you looked at the 58 yacht fish, or the 53 yacht Fish? Seems like it would check a lot of your boxes and has walk around and stand up engine rooms. Also three staterooms and three heads. We love ours.

    I'm pretty sure the 52 cockpit MY engine room is plenty high enough to walk around in. My 1982 48
    MY has an engine room that most folks can stand in. I'm 6'6" and all I need to do is kind of stoop over
    a bit and it works fine. It is defiantly not a hands and knees situation. I think there may be some
    pictures in the brochures section of this forum. Check out the ER's in the Series 2 48 MY and the 52
    cockpit MY (same as 48 with a cockpit). I believe the early 2000's 50' sundeck is also the same basic
    boat. IMO the 52 cockpit MY is a very practical design that most of us would enjoy. Go aboard one,
    then decide for yourself.

    I have worked on a 52cmy many times. The ER is tight. You cannot stand up completely in the center. Personally, I really don't like that model.

    Walt, you own a Series I 48MY and the 52CMY is based off the SeriesII 48MY.
