2006 Egemar Liberty 48: Rare Classic Downeast Cruiser, Low Hours, Extensively UpdatedDescriptionThe Egemar Liberty 48 pairs the timeless lines of a classic downeast hardtop with a semi-planing GRP hull, so you get both character and pace: 18 knots cruising and 30 knots top speed on twin Yanmar 480hp diesels.Built in 2006 by Egemar Yachts, a builder no longer in production, this is a boat for the owner who values distinctive design, mahogany interiors and full teak decks over mass-produced badge appeal. It has none of the premium that comes with a famous name, and none of the compromise in comfort or build either.Condition and recent investment
