1989 Harbor Master 450 Coastal Cruiser, The Motor Vessel Piz-ZazzIf I were leaving from Charleston Harbor, S.C. and heading for Portugal, this is not the motor yacht I would choose. But if my intention was to explore the Bahamas and the Caribbean, the Florida Keys, the Gulf of Mexico, the East and West Coasts of North America, the Great Lakes and the river systems of the U.S., then this is exactly the vessel I would choose.Starting from the foundation. The hull was designed by Uniflight, ( builder of the U.S. Navy's famous River Patrol Boats) a Pacific coast builder. The intent was to create a hull capable of traversing the "Inside Passage" to Alaska. A shallow draft was a must, as was the idea for protecting the running gear. With a keel (8" deeper than the running gear) and props set within half-pockets, Uniflight had hit the mark they'd set for their "Coastal Cruiser." The hull is efficient and economical to operate. It features a fine dry entry, a double chine and a modified vee after section. This is the hull Boating Corporation of America (parent company of Harbor Master) chose for their 450 Coastal Cruiser. Along with her above the water line attributes, these were the "things" we sought when we went shopping for a live-aboard yacht.Piz-Zazz has been "ours" for 16 years, and if health issues didn't require it, she would be ours for many more years to come. But life sometimes sets our plans adrift, and so with reluctance we have decided to put her up for sale. What follows are the assets of the boat. They do not include all the refitting, labor, and costs incurred to make her the yacht she is today. But we hope they will give you, a perspective buyer, a peek into what makes her such a special thing, a boat, a vessel, a yacht, a home. $99900
