1989 Duffy 35, low shear hull, setup to cruise and fish. I am the 3rd owner, now for 18 years. She is clean, classic, stable, safe, reliable and economical.  The boat would be a good charter, pleasure fishing or cruising platform. The boat cruised flawlessly from MA to FL at 12 knots 10 hrs p/day for 12 days using 5.5 gallon per hour. She has 2 x 100 gallon fiberglass fuel tanks and is powered by a Cummins 6BT5.9 turbo 210 HP, 3125 hrs. Rated to cruise 12 knots all day - max speed 15 knots. The boat has always been maintained and upgraded over the years. In 2022 - new Furuno fish finder, raw water pump replaced as a maintenace item, upgraded strainer cap with a fresh water flush fitting, steering ram removed and rebuilt with all new seals, new lense installed in the pop up hatch, trunk cabin was totally sanded, sealed & refinished, new Dometic CFX355 chest fridge, new galley sink, new galley appliances and a new head was installed. In 2019 - new LED navigation lites, new Hi-Sense stand up A/C, 2 Icom VHF radios and a Garmin GPSMAP942xs chart plotter were installed with all electronics integrated. Boat has swivel rod holders, ACR Epirb, Revere 6 person life raft and a roof mounted adjustable spot lite. There was a tower on the boat which was removed prior to motoring to FL which you will see in the video. The outriggers are off the boat for bridge clearance and go with the boat.   

Dragon and Phoenix was briefly on the market in 2020 when the owner was considering downsizing to a used Sabre, but subsequently decided to order a new Sabre 43.  Because the 43 delivery fell after the 2022 summer season, we removed the boat from the market until delivery. The seller of this beautiful Grand Banks Eastbay 54 has owned the yacht since 2009, and cruised her only in New England.  An experienced yachtsman, he has seen to her complete, detailed, and open check-book maintenance, whether for routine, recommended, or pro-active care.  Among her many highlights are: Two staterooms and two heads Office opposite galley Optional varnished interior Optional preferred twin 1000 HP Cat C-18s with a near perfect 1,300 hrs  1,000 Hour Service performed at 1,100 hrs. H O Penn replaced after coolers in late 2017.  All records available. Bow thruster Hull Awgripped Flag Blue in 2018 Mast Awlgripped in 2017 Awlgripped aft entry doors in 2015 Engine and Generator batteries replaced 2019-2020 Washer/Dryer Switlik Life Raft (serviced 2020) Annual oil analysis on engines and genset In addition to having the most popular layout in this much sought after Eastbay model, her Cat C-18 engines will power through most sea states and get you there safely in comfort and style. This remarkable yacht is in turn-key condition. Why selling?  After 13 years of ownership, the seller is moving to a new Sabre 43, which better fits his cruising objectives.
