Stephen 46′ – USA Classic Liberty was built in the USA & imported into NZ from California last year (2013).
She is for sale on trademe for $275k & in my eyes is great value for money – to build her would cost 3x that price & then some.
Other than the motors – she has been extensively refurbished:-
New fridge and freezer, New hot water cylinder, New electrics, New switchboard, New LED Lighting , New engine room insulation , New anchor winch motor, anchor and chain, New batteries 700 amph, New inverter – shore power, New stove and hob, New upholstery and carpet’ New toilet’ New Large Raymarine chart plotter – fish finder.

Great boat – the space, the finish, the lines. Now listed on my “wish list” along with $275,000.

Its amazing what sellers to not put in a listing – other than the seller* it appears the boat has only had one owner & she was kept in a boat shed all her life.
*I understand Liberty was bought back from San Francisco as ‘excess baggage’ 🙂 by a returning America’s Cup personal.
