1999 Lyman-Morse 53

San Diego, California

$280,000

"Whizzbang" is a classic beauty built by Lyman Morse and designed by William Cook with cruising the world in mind! Whizzbang is a contemporary motorsailer, designed and built in 2000 for owners who had sailed their previous boat to Europe twice, and wished to do so again with great comfort and ease of handling. Beautiful craftsmanship and a thoughtful layout make this vessel a warm and inviting environment to cruise in style.  Whizzbang can be handled by a couple and taken on long passages with safety and comfort. She is the sort of boat that causes heads to turn when she enters the harbor.
