Description
1996 Ocean Yachts 53 Super Sport convertible with a beautiful CUSTOM MEZZANINE surround by beautiful custom teak coving boards, a 3-cabin, 2-head layout, reliable twin MAN diesel power with a cruse of 30 knots, fuel burn at a combined 54 GPH, and a range over 300 nautical miles. The Ocean 53 Super Sport was built by Ocean Yachts from 1991 to 1999, with the 1996 model falling squarely into a well-regarded mid-production era known for improved manufacturing techniques, lighter and faster hulls, and strong popularity as a high-performance sportfishing convertible. 53 feet long with a 16.3 foot beam, it quickly became a staple in the offshore sportfishing class. This particular 53 Super Sport is professional maintained and ready to go on day one. Don't miss out...priced to sell quick! Insurance survey with pics from August 26, 2026 available upon request.

After that, he spent another 20 years as a manager of 2 major tuna tower and marine electronics companies overseeing their North Carolina operations.
