Description
The 1987 Ocean Yachts 48’ Super Sport was one of Ocean’s best-selling models. Plenty of interior space with a 2-stateroom and 2-head layout, washer/dryer, downstairs galley, and spacious salon make the interior of this boat very comfortable. The cockpit has plenty of room for fishing or leisure, and a flybridge to match making this convertible model great for fishing, cruising, and/or living aboard.
This Super Sport’s Detroit 671 TIB.S engines were rebuilt in 2017 and have 120 hours on them since their major overhaul. They have a total of 2900 hours overall. All oil and filters have been changed, heat exchangers for both the engines and the transmission coolers were serviced, new batteries installed, and a new Reverso oil exchange pump has been installed.
