SOLD !! — 48′ Ocean Alexander 1990 – $195,000. Beautiful and ready to go!

This very beautiful 48’ Ocean Alexander ‘Sedan’ came to us having been very well maintained by her former owners of nearly twenty years.  The Powerboat Guide describes this model as a “well designed family cruiser with an upscale interior to go with her sleek Euro-style profile.”  Stylistically she is a flush deck motor yacht with salon, galley and lower helm on the same level.

We ran the boat to Seattle from Friday Harbor in early May, and have had her out other times this summer for various purposes.  Her mechanical and electrical systems function well and she is a joy to operate.  After our thorough examination of all her systems our work has primarily been aesthetic, with only some minor repairs necessary along the way.  

She was hauled at Canal Boatyard for bottom paint, zincs and hull wax by Pacific Fiberglass in August.  We also have a hull survey to pass along that will save her buyer the cost of another haul out.   We compounded and waxed the house and flybridge.  Applied some touch up trim paint to her rub rails and a fresh coat of Cetol on the cap rails, along with a good cleaning inside and out.  She’s all ready for your Fall cruising season.  

Any owner would be proud to have her !

Survey and Measurement

We had an August 2021 hull survey conducted at Canal Boatyard while she was hauled for bottom paint and hull wax.  There is no evidence of hull blistering or any damage to running gear or structural components. This important report will be made available to her buyers with their accepted offer, thus saving the costs of another haul for hull survey.

[NOTE: The Ocean Alexander 48’ and 50’ Sedan are identical, with a slightly larger aft deck on the 50’.  The 48’ Sedan is very close to 50’ 3” LOA from bow pulpit to swim platform, per our measurement.]

About Pacific Marine Foundation

We are quite selective about the vessels we accept into our program and we pursue a very rigorous process before they are listed for sale.  This begins when we first meet with our donors to discuss the condition and upkeep of their boat.  Once accepted, each new arrival undergoes a thorough examination, similar to what a marine surveyor will do.  This allows us to prioritize our attention to any deferred maintenance or repairs that may be needed. 

Over the years we have performed just about every kind of marine repair, from electrical and plumbing issues to all types of appearance enhancements and rebuilding engines.  If something is not working right we fix it, simple as that.  We prove that her electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are correct, safe and functioning properly.  By doing all of this we know our boats quite well top to bottom and present them fairly and honestly to buyers. 

We encourage you to have our boats professionally surveyed as a part of your purchase process.  By the time we’ve finished and the boat is advertised, we are confident you will receive a strong report from your surveyor.  

Thank you for considering PMF boats in your search ! … and you can learn more about us at;  pacificmarine.org
