1973 53’ Motoryacht

After just short of 20 years of ownership, it is time to look for a new steward for our 1973 53’ Motoryacht. Please see the listing at Bayport Yachts. No sales pitch. I believe the pictures speak for themselves.
Thank you

Looked at the listing. Probably has an offer by now. Beautiful.

Please remove this listing before my wife sees it. I’m not ready for a MY yet.

How did you get that fridge in there?

Re: 1973 53’ Motoryacht

Getting the refrigerator in wasn’t too difficult. Being an earlier hull, I don’t have the electrical panel at the stairs. I did however have to cut the stairs headroom below the windshield. Which is okay because as original, it is a real head banger.

Eric Horst is very good at that. Some brokers are not. I own my boat due to the crappy pictures the broker took which made it less attractive looking and gave me time to get there.

BTW, I personally know this boat and it's owner of 20 years. It's a good boat.

Thank you for this nice compliment. I shoot all of my own photos - all with my Pixel 5a phone. The magic is in the editing. It also helps greatly to have a stunningly beautiful yacht as the subject!

Beautiful! The paint and shine is enviable!
Has that been repainted or do you have some magic trick to make it shine like that?

Probably freshly detailed. When the detailers do my boat it's amazing and looks brand new but gets dirty and covered by bird poop again fairly quickly. The one in the photos is spotless so probably just done.

Hull paint in 2004. Rail up and non-skid 2022.

Still available. There must not be a serious, able 53 Classic buyer out there right now. Otherwise this boat would be gone.

Not in today's market, it isn't.

Re: 1973 53’ Motoryacht

Eric's listings are always beautifully done. As someone who purchased a boat last year, you really can't put a price on, deny an asking price, or try to discount the value of a well-kept vessel. Pay now or pay later, and that later road is a rough one.

Re: 1973 53’ Motoryacht

Very sharp! I want mine to look like that!
Low hours on the motors too!
It made me think...... upgrade?

Re: 1973 53’ Motoryacht

I guess it's all about what you want. On the same dock there's another 53 that is a bit challenged condition-wise. (I hope no one here owns her). If I tossed you the keys to that one and gave you a cashier's check for the amout we're asking for this one - the other one couldn't be made to look this good.
