Features

Overview

This is a 1978 Pacifica that has received multiple upgrades throughout her life. Most recently, the boat was repowered with Cummins QSL 9 diesel engines in 2016. In 2018 a new 9.5KW Northern Lights generator was also installed.

The Interior has been refit to accommodate 6 passengers comfortably, with a large galley table, large built in settee, tackle storage, side by side refrigeration and overhead rod storage.

Downstairs has been reconfigured as well. At the bottom of the stairs to port are two over and under bunks, forward to starboard is a full head with shower. All the way forward is the V-berth area that has been reconfigured with 3 double bunks.

The Master stateroom is midships to Port and features a queen size berth and a double berth. There is an ensuite head with separate shower as well.

The cockpit on this boat is massive to say the least and has a 5 scoop bait tank to port and a 3 scoop tank to starboard. There is a large centerline fish hold and a 2 scoop bait tank on the transom.

The flybridge offers the latest in electronics and includes a Furuno sounder, Wesmar side scan sonar, Simrad autopilot, multiple VHF radios, 2-meter radio, and a Furuno chartplotter. There is also a large chest freezer. 

The tuna tower on a Pacifica offers protection from the wind and offers a comfortable seating position for glassing.

Engines

This 48 Pacifica was repowered with Cummins electronic motors in 2016. All new running gear was installed, as well as new gear boxes and Cummins electronic controls.

Ships power is provided by 2 generators, an 8kw Northern Lights and a new (2018) 9.5kw Northern Lights.

With the new motors, the Engineroom is extremely large and access to all the machinery and pumps is second to none.
