I am looking to buy an 80's era 61' Motor Yacht or 63' Motor Yacht, largely because those models have the room we're looking for and a galley-up layout. The 60' Extended Deckhouse also fills the bill.
I am not a broker. My wife and I are planning to take it to the Potomac D.C. area and retire on it.
Suggestions for alternatives in that length are welcome, as long as the galley is up.
The 58' Motor Yacht with the galley up layout is desirable, but we are searching for something a little bit bigger, both in terms of length and beam.
If you or someone you know is thinking of selling, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Feel free to call me or DM me.

Here is a 63' galley down with a $400,000 refit a year ago.

They decided living aboard was not for them. They drove the boat from San Francisco through the Panama Canal, got to Florida and decided they wanted to be land lubbers again.

Re: Wanted: 56'-63' Motor Yacht with Galley Up
I saw this boat online as well. the hours appear high... has anything been done to the 12v 72's ? what hours should be expected on those engines..? was curious that they did a 400g refit and no mention of anything done to the engines..?

The engines run perfectly. No smoke at start up ever. They are tuned and run great. Last oil analysis was perfect. NO leaks either which is rare for a Detroit Diesel. Last I heard they had 3400 hours on both mains. I spent $20,000 a few years ago having the engines tuned and running as perfect as they could for a 1987 diesel.
