Rare Offering!

Preferred Sabre 52 with IPS Propulsion

"It's a Blast" is offered to the market for the first time by her original owners.  During the build, they spent a great deal of time and energy with the engineering staff at Sabre to attend to every last detail to create their ideal cruising boat.

The two cabin two head boat has a long list of standard features that set it apart from others in its class.  They include:

• A midship master with full walk around queen berth
• Well separated accommodations for guests.
• A chef's galley complete with Sub-Zero refrigeration
• Comfortable cruising in the mid 20's with soft ride
• A cavernous engine room
• Vented Splendide combo washer/dryer in companionway

"It's a Blast" also has a long list of options and custom features.  The full list is in the listing but some highlights include:

• Volvo IPS II 900 propulsion
• Cockpit joystick
• Custom dedicated fender and line storage
• Spectra Watermaker
• Russound entertainment system with XM and DirectTV SatTV
• Modified entertainment center for a more open feel
• Freedom lift-with Carbon Fiber arms
• Hidden safe for valuables
• Customized cabinetry and storage through out
• Sunshade over aft cockpit seating 

Recent Awlcraft hull paint, lift-storage and thoughtful and diligent care are obvious upon inspection.   The owner even ordered a pre-sale machinery service to ensure that no aspect of the service has been over looked.

If you are looking for a 50+ foot, downeast, cruising vessel, "It's a Blast" is worth of your serious consideration.
