If you've been thinking about a high quality custom sportfisherman that you can handle without a professional captain and don't want to separate yourself from the cockpit activity by scaling the ladder, this could be a vessel to consider. The Volvo D-11s have had their full service and they are remarkably economical without giving up performance. With the larger IPS drives and joystick the boat is easy to maneuver and nimble in close quarters. This is the boat owner's 2nd Paul Spencer sportfisherman with IPS drives and he's loved both! He updated this vessel extensively over the past year in proper yacht fashion and it comes to market only due to interest in changing to a different style of boating.

Overview
A very special boat that has had only two exceptional owners since new. Built with virtually no budget for an experienced sportfisherman with a detail-oriented captain's oversight, this vessel offers a combination of amazing sea worthiness, remarkably easy operation and fishability, plus beautiful dock presence. Ceramic coated from top to waterline, with a new C-Worthy enclosure and recent bridge-deck upholstery, this boat is a showstopper at every dock. Absolutely ideal for light crew usage or capable of entertaining large groups with her spacious climate-controlled bridge deck, this vessel can quickly adapt to many gameplans.
Her interior was just completely refreshed by Powless Yacht Services is in "as-new" condition and features two staterooms with three large berths and two heads each with showers. There is also a useable aft galley and a booth dinette. Teak cabinetry with raised panel doors is luxurious plus the seating and berths are comfortable. Beautiful solid doors and arched radius frames with top quality hardware. Built with a high detail spec this boat has had light use, has been bristol-level maintained, and it shows.
Salon
The salon is entered from the bridge-deck through a sliding plexiglass door and there are 5 steps down to a finished wood teak and holly sole. To the portside is the L-shaped galley with beautiful teak cabinetry with raised panel doors and semi-gloss finish. Just forward of the galley to port is a teak dinette area with Baby Ostrich leatherette seating and a bullnose-edge Corian tabletop (Archeologic) that matches the galley countertop. There are two cove cabinets above the dinette area. Across from the dinette on the starboard side is a wall-mounted HD 4k TV. Forward is the entry door to the master stateroom. Back aft to the starboard side of the entry stairway is the door to the guest head. To the centerline port of the stairway are two steps down to the entry door to the guest stateroom. The entire interior has had updating from late 2022 into 2023 with all interior Whisper Wall Majilite being renewed (wave texture) as well as the headliner and seating by Powless Yacht Services. Shows as new.
Galley
L-shaped Galley with 6 upper cabinets with underside counter lighting, 4 outboard counter-height cabinets, and 2 large below counter cabinets. Upper and lower cabinet doors are raised panel.
Master Stateroom and Head
The master stateroom is forward and features a centerline Queen berth with built-in teak nightstands and overhead reading lights to either side. Natural light flows from an opening overhead deck hatch. Towards the foot of the berth to either side are hanging lockers and a wall mounted TV is on the aft bulkhead to the portside. Teak cabinetry above from the closets to the mirrored headboard. The raised berth is on a teak bordered platform with drawers beneath and a designer carpeted sole. On the starboard side aft is the entrance to the private head with teak and holly sole, Corian vanity top, and a large circular shower stall. The fit and finish is excellent with solid arched teak doors, cedarwood lined closets and drawers, raised panel cabinet doors, plus the freshly renewed Majilite wall covering which is throughout the interior.
Master Head:
Guest Stateroom
The guest stateroom is aft of the galley and is a large space available due to the aft location of the IPS propulsion package. There are two small steps down from the galley to a door opening to the carpeted stateroom sole. There are twin full-sized berths with a teak nightstand with Corian top between them. This cabinet has two drawers and an opening locker below. At the foot of either berth are hanging lockers outboard with matching Corian countertops inboard. Outboard above either berth are two cabinets with raised panel teak doors. On the starboard side is a wall mounted TV. This stateroom has its own dedicated CruisAir A/C system with thermostat. There are also two reading lights above the berths mounted outboard of the padded headboards. Fresh wall coverings in this cabin also.
Guest Head
This head is easily accessible to the bridge deck as well as the guest stateroom, located immediately to the starboard side of the cabin entry steps. This is a complete head with separate shower stall that has a bench seat. Teak and Holly cabin sole with teak raised panel cabinet doors and finish. Corian vanity top with bullnose edge and backsplash has an oval undermounted sink with a mirror door cabinet above.
Helm
One of the best bridge decks you will find on any express sportfisherman which features excellent visibility from the helm and plentiful comfortable seating. Three ladderback helm chairs are across a raised teak deck platform with a centerline classic teak helm pod and low-profile console. In front of the console (still on the raised platform) is a comfortable bench seat with two stainless-steel lined freezer/refrigerator below. To either side of the bridge deck outboard, additional lounges with backrest consoles towards the aft end with drink holders. The aft end of the lounges with backrests provide excellent rear facing trolling seats and have storage boxes beneath. At the forward end of the side lounges behind waterproof Lexan are two Toshiba TVs which can be set to multiple video sources. A new 4-sided SeaCrylic panel enclosure by C-Worthy is tailor fitted with sliding door design on the aft section. Pipewelders Kevlar hardtop has multicolor LED overhead lighting. All the seating has new two-tone C-Worthy cushions matching the contoured helm chair cushions. This deck is climate controlled with two high volume reverse-cycle AC units. There is also a custom blower system that diverts A/C from the aft stateroom to vent facing the Captain's seat as a back-up, in case bridge A/C is lost (has a separate switch). Most hatches and lids throughout bridge deck and cockpit have drain gutters, gaskets where needed, and stainless gas springs.
Electronics and Navigation
The low-profile helm console has an inset angled panel which is home to three 15 inch multi-function Nav screens and has a clear Lexan hinged cover with gas shock assist. On top of the console is a white magnetic compass. To either side of the teak helm pod are lift top compartments where the more frequently adjusted electronics are mounted. Overhead is a drop-down box with Vhf, spotlight control, digital data display, and Octoplex touchscreen control panel.
Hull and Deck Equipment
Cockpit and Fishing Equipment
Electrical System and Equipment
Engine and Mechanical Equipment
Twin Volvo D11 diesels are 10.8 liter displacement, inline 6-cylinder with high-pressure fuel injection and twin-entry turbo with pulse charging. They produce 700hp each at 2300rpm. Coupled with the duo-prop IPS drive system (IPS900, this boat has been upgraded to Gen II), the performance results are equivalent to much higher power with conventional drivetrains while enjoying dramatically better fuel economy. This drive system also features the station keeping Dynamic Positioning System, including a one-button slow-trolling feature.
During typical usage, the IPS drive package sends engine exhaust out the rear hub of the drives. This boat has the option of "exhaust bypass" which when fishing/trolling clears the turbulence of the exhaust by diverting up to a waterline bypass egress on the transom. This results in remarkably clean water while trolling. When up and running (over 1500rpm) or with the bypass switched off, the exhaust is underwater, lowering engine decibel-level.
The full 2000-hour service was completed at 1890hrs in 2021, which included intercooler services and pumps. This boat runs excellent with easy handling and sea ability (and fish-ability).
Broker Note
Spencer Yachts have enjoyed unprecedented popularity and success on the tournament circuit. It's rare to find any Spencer on the brokerage market which can be described as low hours, but this boat has only had two owners since new with practically no tournament usage. Spencer built 8 boats with IPS power packages, several have had magazine articles written about them documenting their remarkable maneuverability and economy features. This 49' may be the best of those 8 Spencer IPS boats, with the right balance of weight and the preferred larger series II drives.
