Princess V39 (1998) – With New Volvo Penta Engines (2017) The 1998 Princess V39 is a true icon of the golden era of the British shipyard. Designed by the legendary Bernard Olesinski, it is a purebred sports cruiser, famous for its deep "V" hull that offers extraordinarily smooth and safe navigation, even in rough seas. Unlike modern versions, this model is a 100% Open boat (without a hardtop), characterized by its elegant slanted radar arch and unparalleled outdoor livability to enjoy the sun and the sea. This particular unit represents an exceptional opportunity in the second-hand market: it combines the solidity and charm of a classic hull with the reliability, power, and efficiency of a modern engine room from 2017.1. Great Value: Volvo Penta Re-engine (2017) In its year of manufacture, this boat was typically equipped with Volvo KAD44 engines of 260 HP, mechanics that today are often very fatigued. Having new Volvo Penta blocks installed in 2017 completely transforms the onboard experience:
Renewed Performance: With modern common-rail technology, the boat gains spectacular torque. It gets on plane almost immediately and maintains a very cheerful cruising speed of between 24 and 26 knots, reaching peaks that exceed 32 knots. Efficiency and Comfort: The 2017 engines drastically reduce fuel consumption, do not emit the typical black smoke of the 90s, and cut noise and vibrations in half. Modern Electronics: The installation includes modern electronic controls (Volvo EVC), providing total precision in maneuvers and digital displays to control engine parameters in detail. 2. Layout and Life OnboardExterior Deck (100% Open) By doing away with the Hard-Top, the cockpit is an immense, bright, and completely clear space:
Main Social Area: At the stern, it features a large "U" shaped dinette with a removable table, perfect for outdoor dining. Right next to it, a comfortable chaise longue allows for company with the pilot during navigation. Helm Station: Double, ergonomic, and protected by a wraparound windshield with a stainless steel frame. Sun Protection: The boat is protected by Bimini and full covers that anchor to the radar arch, allowing the boat to be completely closed at night or opened to the sun in seconds. Stern Platform: Spacious, covered in teak, ideal for swimming and with direct access to the cockpit. Interiors (90s Craftsmanship Quality) Inside, the Princesses of this era stand out for construction standards that are no longer seen today, using solid bright cherry woods and very robust finishes.
Central Salon: Very spacious, with a large semicircular sofa upholstered in leather and a central table. Opposite is a complete linear kitchen (fridge, stove, and sink) with plenty of storage space. Fore Cabin (Owner): Features a double island bed (accessible from both sides) and built-in wardrobes. Stern Cabin (Guests): Surprises with its space, offering two parallel single beds and a small dressing sofa. Bathroom: A full bathroom with shower, with direct access from the salon. 3.
