Stunning and fully updated Ellis 28 with extended pilothouse. This vessel lived in Maine for her first 33 years and was stored indoors for the majority of the year, only launched for one month each season. Her Yanmar 140 HP diesel allows for fuel efficient cruising at 10 kts with a top end above 12 kts.
Nearly every system has been updated or upgraded, with work done by both the current owner and Ellis Boat Works in SW Harbor Maine. Some brief highlights include:
New inverter to handle air conditioning off the dock (via house batteries)
New Garmin 16” chart plotter/radar, VHF, autopilot & AIS
New bow thruster
New batteries, freshwater tanks, faucets, pumps, holding tank, macerator, PSS shaft seal, and hydraulic steering actuator
…and much more. See detailed section at end of listing which catalogs the upgrades by year.
