Brand New Yacht Controller!

“Excitable Buoy” is a well-kept and highly updated 2002 Sea Ray 480 Motor Yacht that stands out for her freshwater history through 2025, low engine and generator hours, and substantial recent investment in mechanical service.

A major highlight is the recently installed Yacht Controller Optimo system (approximately a $15,000 upgrade, installed October 2025), dramatically improving close-quarters maneuverability and docking confidence.

In Summer 2025, the boat received comprehensive professional engine service including turbo work, exhaust manifold service, oil and filter changes, fuel filters, impellers, belts, CCV filter replacement, anodes, and transmission oil service. Supporting documentation includes receipts, a March 2025 pre-purchase survey, fluid sample analysis for the engines, transmissions, and generator, as well as propulsion inspection reports.

Powered by twin Cummins 630HP diesel engines with approximately 1,345 original hours and paired with a Westerbeke 12.5kW generator showing approximately 549 hours, this 48MY is well-equipped and ready to cruise.
