1988 NorthCoast 24 EXPRESS CRUISER - NORTHCOAST FOR SALE

April 2024 price reduction—owner is ready to move on and will consider all reasonable offers. This 24' Northcoast Express is a premium mid-size express cruiser that has been thoroughly upgraded and fastidiously maintained, presenting far above its vintage. The 1988 Northcoast 24 Express Cruiser carries twin 220 HP FWC Crusader straight inboards with just 965 original hours, and the renowned Northcoast deep-V rides as if it were a much larger yacht. With a 9'2" beam and a 23-degree deadrise, this compact motor yacht feels confident and composed, delivering the poise of many 40-footers while retaining the nimble handling of a refined sport cruiser.

Every detail reflects careful stewardship: gelcoat, cushions, and canvas are fresh and bright, there’s no odor or mildew, and the soft goods are stored off-season in a climate-controlled space. Systems and cosmetics have been continuously refreshed, so everything is current and fully functional. Highlights include a custom updated Bimini with full enclosure, a recent custom cockpit cover, modern electronics with Garmin GPS/plotter/sonar and Icom VHF, a new china-bowl marine head, all-new bronze thru-hulls and valves, recent manifolds and risers, and exterior teak thoughtfully replaced with custom-milled Starboard for low-maintenance elegance. Professionally serviced throughout its life, this inboard-powered cabin cruiser shows like a much newer build.

If you’re seeking a high-quality, reliable coastal cruiser and weekend cruiser with the heart of a pocket motor yacht, this Northcoast stands in rare condition. The owner has invested well beyond the asking price to keep it pristine, making it an exceptional opportunity in the express cruiser category.

Description

April 2024 price reduction—this owner wants the boat sold and will consider all reasonable offers. The 24' Northcoast Express is a high-quality mid-sized express cruiser that has been comprehensively upgraded and meticulously kept current; there may be none finer anywhere at any price. This 1988 Northcoast 24' Express Cruiser is powered by twin 220 HP fresh‑water‑cooled Crusader straight inboards showing only 965 original hours. Built on the legendary Northcoast hull with a wide 9'2" beam and a 23‑degree deadrise, this 24‑footer runs with the composure and confidence of many forty‑foot boats. The care lavished on this vessel throughout its life is extraordinary, with continual, professional updates so that everything is current and fully operational. There are no chips or scratches, no mold, no odors, and no tired gelcoat, cushions, or canvas; virtually everything has been renewed or is in like‑new condition, and the boat presents more like a five‑year‑old than one of its vintage. As the photos attest, the owner even stores all soft goods off‑season in a climate‑controlled space. Notable upgrades include a fully updated custom Bimini top with enclosure, a recent custom cockpit cover, and modernized electronics comprising a Garmin GPS/plotter/sonar and an Icom VHF. Comforts and systems have been refreshed with a new porcelain‑bowl marine head system, all new bronze thru‑hull valves and fittings, and recent manifolds and risers. For durability and low maintenance, all exterior teak trim has been removed and replaced with custom‑milled StarBoard. Always professionally serviced, this is the compact, inboard‑powered cruiser for buyers who value quality and dependability. The owner has invested several times his asking price to maintain the boat in its present, impeccable condition.
