Refit and Ready to Cruise!!
Here is a boat that does not come along very often, especially not one like this that has been owned by the famous artist Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band. If you have not been aboard a Vic Franck 53 Pilothouse, you are in for a treat. These are VERY well designed boats that were far ahead of their time. With only 1 small step between the salon and staterooms, this is one pilothouse that is made for everyone and easy to navigate around. Her wide beam, expansive pilothouse with moon roof and convertible bench/berth, 2 staterooms - 2 heads, utility room, full size appliances and so much more make Eagle (ex. AbraCadabra) a perfect boat for cruisers or live aboard. Her owners have spared no expense in updating her interior and electrical system. GONE is an entire 32V electrical system and with mechanicals serviced, this boat is ready to cruise. Click on full specs to see all Eagle has to offer.
Please call the LISTING BROKER to set up an appointment to see Eagle, a famous yet ready to cruise motor yacht.
