Northshore 48

This Northshore 48 is a standout example of a classic, bluewater-capable cruiser that has been extensively upgraded to meet modern expectations. With over $400k recently spent, this vessel has undergone a comprehensive transformation, including a brand-new 500hp Cummins QSC 8.3 Lt diesel engine with a Twin Disc gearbox, a complete electrical overhaul, new tanks, and upgraded electronics. Featuring an enclosed wheelhouse, generous headroom, and practical liveaboard comforts, this is a rare opportunity to step into a fully refreshed and highly capable cruiser.

Interior

High headroom throughout creates a spacious and comfortable onboard feel. The forward cabin features a walk-around queen bed with gas strut for easy storage access. Storage and a dedicated bow thruster battery compartment are located beneath the bed. The spacious bathroom includes a toilet with overboard discharge. Generous living areas offer ample room to personalise and create your onboard sanctuary.

History

This Northshore 48 was apparently originally built for the Navy, then commissioned by the Water Police as a dive vessel and thereafter utilised for recreational purposes. It represents exceptional value for a buyer seeking a vessel with all the major upgrades already completed. Combining classic design with modern performance and reliability, it is perfectly suited for extended cruising or entertaining on the water.
