Electrical

A meticulously engineered AC/DC electrical architecture anchors onboard reliability, beginning with a salon-mounted power panel featuring system breakers and volt/amp metering. A robust 2000-watt inverter seamlessly supports 120 VAC hotel loads while simultaneously charging the 12 VDC system. Intelligent Battery Combiners automatically maintain both house and starting banks, complemented by a dedicated 12 VDC flybridge subpanel to power electronics at the helm. Shore connectivity arrives via a cockpit 120 VAC inlet feeding four 8D batteries housed in fiberglass enclosures, with a vapor-proof selector switch allowing house-bank, starting-bank, or off positions as needed. Convenience meets efficiency with 120 VAC duplex outlets throughout, LED 12 VDC overhead lighting, and 12 VDC, 150-watt cockpit floodlights. Heavy-duty, 105-amp engine-driven alternators and insulated, color-coded, numbered wiring ensure robust charging and serviceability, while four Rule automatic bilge pumps provide vigilant dewatering. A Marinco 50-foot, 120 V, 50-amp power cord extends your reach dockside, and a dedicated alarm status panel monitors high-water and fire for added peace of mind.

Deck

Purposeful detailing defines the Maverick’s deck plan, beginning with commanding Buell air horns and a hide-away swim ladder neatly recessed beneath the swim step. Ground tackle is confidence-inspiring, with a Muir horizontal 12 V windlass concealed under a flush deck hatch and a Bruce-type 44 lb anchor connected to 275 feet of 5/16-inch hi-test marked chain. A single-color boot stripe refines the waterline, while non-skid spans the sidedecks, foredeck, cockpit, and flybridge for surefooted passage. Forward rails in 1.25-inch stainless steel extend aft to the start of the cockpit, matched by stainless handrails on the aft port and starboard sides of the flybridge. Mooring is made effortless with six stainless steel cleats and hawse arrangements at the cockpit corners, complemented by three Bomar opening tinted aluminum deck hatches for ventilation. Practicality continues with an anchor washdown faucet and stainless steel fuel fills on the side decks, keeping operations orderly and clean.

Safety equipment

Safety is comprehensively addressed with a fully stocked first-aid kit and life jackets supplied at one per berth to match your guest capacity. Fire protection meets United States Coast Guard standards with approved extinguishers, while a USCG-compliant flare kit enhances offshore signaling readiness. Dockside handling is made simple with mooring lines of 5/8-inch diameter in various lengths, and fendering is handled by three colored Taylor fenders measuring 10 inches.

Interiors

The Maverick’s accommodations elevate rest and privacy with a master island queen-size-plus berth fitted with large under-berth drawers, paired with a generously sized guest berth also featuring expansive drawer storage. Fabric-covered 6-inch foam mattresses with plush toppers deliver restorative sleep, while two full hanging lockers in the master, a full-length mirror, and mirrored forward headboards with chain-locker access add space and brightness. Natural airflow and light are abundant thanks to an opening deck hatch with a hinged screen in the master, five stainless steel oval opening portholes, and an additional opening deck hatch in the guest stateroom, which is further served by a large hanging locker. The head is appointed with a large separate stall shower and its own opening deck hatch with a hinged screen. Select-wood entry doors to the staterooms with Lockwood latches lend a bespoke, hand-finished touch.

Salon

The salon captures panoramic horizons with windows that sweep a full 360 degrees, bathing the space in natural light. A welcoming dinette and settee create a relaxed gathering area anchored by a dedicated dinette table, while a salon door with a secure handle lock adds privacy and protection at anchor or underway. Entertainment is immediate and effortless via a 32-inch LED color TV, perfectly positioned for movie nights or quiet morning news as the world drifts by.

Mechanical

Performance and control flow from twin Cummins QSB 6.7L 550 HP common-rail turbo diesels mated to ZF 2801V transmissions, breathing through AirSep air filters and overseen by a digital VesselView monitoring system. Command is fingertip precise with Glendinning electronic shift and throttle on the flybridge and smooth Hynautic hydraulic steering, while NIBRAL four-blade propellers spin on 2.25-inch Aqualoy stainless steel shafts supported by stainless struts and rudders. Bennett stainless steel trim tabs with flybridge controls optimize attitude, and an underwater exhaust system with idle bypasses keeps the ride quiet and refined. A 9 kW generator in a sound shield provides serene onboard power, supported by Groco main engine seacocks, comprehensive engine room sound insulation, and a full suite of gauges for RPM, temperature, volts, oil pressure, and hours. Safety and serviceability are enhanced by an automatic halon fire extinguishing system in the engine room, Racor primary fuel filtration for both mains and generator, seawater intake bronze thru-hulls and bronze sea strainers, and fluid capacities held in two non-integral epoxy-treated fiberglass fuel tanks and one epoxy-treated fiberglass water tank. Climate control is assured by 27,000 BTU air conditioning with reverse-cycle heat, while 12 V engine room lighting and assisted engine hatches make checks and maintenance effortless.

Cockpit

Purpose-built for action and relaxation, the cockpit features a built-in transom bait tank with lights and a viewing window, a molded transom door that hinges outboard for effortless landing of fish or boarding, and a dedicated tackle center to keep gear organized. The fiberglass non-skid deck and caprails are rugged and easy to wash, with port and starboard side lockers adding fast-access storage. A molded fiberglass swimstep extends your playground at the water’s edge, and a quarter-rail rubrail at the aft corners along the hullside at the waterline protects against docks and pilings. Night operations are beautifully lit by LED 12 VDC cockpit courtesy lights and overhead LED lighting, while a hot/cold cockpit shower and a Shurflo seawater washdown make rinsing divers, kids, or decks a breeze. Two molded drop-in fiberglass fish boxes swallow the day’s catch, exterior stereo speakers set the soundtrack, and six custom stainless steel flush-mounted rod holders line the coamings for serious angling.

Options

Elevate and tailor your Maverick with a hardtop enveloped by a crystal-clear Makralon enclosure, a genset upgrade to 12 kW, and expanded fuel capacity for longer passages. Offshore anglers will appreciate outriggers, a fighting chair, and rocket launchers, while tech-forward owners can specify comprehensive electronics and a watermaker for autonomy. Handling and comfort rise further with a davit and chocks, enhanced air conditioning and heat upgrades, and a freezer box in the lazarette or cockpit. A Marlin tower crowns the package for ultimate visibility. Many other options are available upon request to create your ideal Maverick.

Galley

The U-shaped galley is a chef’s ally at sea, anchored by a Fisher & Paykel 13 cu ft refrigerator/freezer, a 120 VAC Ceran glass cooktop, and a versatile convection/microwave/broiler oven. The sink and faucet are customer-selected to suit personal taste, while a built-in trash bin and custom countertops streamline daily use. Under-salon storage with true walk-in access expands provisioning capacity dramatically, making extended cruising both practical and pleasurable.

Basics

Essential particulars reinforce the Maverick’s sweet-spot proportions: an approximate LOA of 46 feet 6 inches, an approximate beam of 15 feet 10 inches, and an approximate draft of 3 feet 3 inches. Tankage is equally capable, with 600 gallons of fuel, 200 gallons of fresh water, and a 60-gallon holding tank, all supporting real-world independence. Light yet solid, the vessel’s approximate weight stands at 34,600 pounds, striking an ideal balance between efficiency, strength, and seakeeping.

Construction

Crafted for longevity, the Maverick employs BTI and Hexcel fiberglass materials, with a solid fiberglass hull below the waterline and a Corecell foam core above. A polished white exterior gelcoat presents a timeless finish, while a hydraulic steering system and a flybridge Lexan venturi with stainless steel supports and frame add strength and clarity up top. The stainless tube radar arch is pre-run for electronics wiring, and every thru-hull is installed in solid fiberglass, with marine bronze seawater fittings tied into a comprehensive protective bonding system. Non-skid molded fiberglass foredeck and sidedecks, robust stainless deck hardware, and sleek frameless windows speak to both function and style. Below, the hull bottom benefits from epoxy barrier protection and antifouling paint, while anti‑vibration, reinforced athwartship engine room webbing stringers add rigidity and reduce noise.

Plumbing

Onboard utilities center on a 12 VDC smart‑sensor freshwater pump feeding fixtures with steady pressure, with four Rule high‑capacity bilge pumps offering both automatic and manual modes for rapid dewatering. Tank management is intuitive via a Tank Tender pneumatic level gauge system, while hot water is delivered by a 30‑gallon, 120 VAC water heater and waste is contained in a 60‑gallon fiberglass holding tank. A deck fitting simplifies shoreside pump‑out. Quiet, clean operation comes from Jabsco Quietflush freshwater ceramic‑bowl toilets monitored by a Sealand Tankwatch gauge, with Sealand odor‑reducing sanitation hoses and a Par Jabsco 12 VDC macerator pump handling overboard processing where legal. Customer‑selected sinks and faucets complete a refined, user‑centric installation.

Flybridge

The flybridge is a command and social nexus, crowned by a stainless radar arch and a forward helm enveloped by a wrap‑around electronics and control console. A molded settee with a fixed table converts to a berth, while a recessed footwell supports the helm seat for comfort underway. A wrap‑around plexiglass venturi with a stainless tube frame deflects breeze, and abundant storage resides beneath the settee seats. Cushions are luxurious, with 4‑inch vinyl on the seat bottoms and angled backs, and the helm is centered by a flush‑mounted 4.5‑inch Ritchie compass. Courtesy lighting is provided by Perko 12 VDC fixtures, and a stainless ladder with handrails encloses the upper deck for safe movement. Vertical console locker doors, angled electronics displays, and indoor/outdoor carpeting refine the space, while custom polished stainless Schmitt steering wheels and AC/DC refrigeration complete a helm built for long, happy days in command.
