Believe is a highly customized and meticulously maintained 2005, Marquis 65 Motoryacht.  It has the optional upgraded MTU 10V2000-1500hp power package with only 650 hours for enhanced performance and the optional upgraded 28kw Kohler generator.

The original owner has done extensive customizing to include complete Awlgrip paint from the waterline up in 2011.  No more chalky or dull gel coat and it shines better than new. Also in 2011 the owner replaced salon furniture with ultra leather and installed new carpet.  The lower helm was removed and there is now a custom built u-shaped sofa with cherry wood table and custom cherry cabinets. This dinette/sofa area offers a granite floor and custom indirect lighting. The galley also offers granite flooring, granite counter tops and cherry veneer on the appliances for a finished and integrated appearance.

The bridge helm features a Stidd helmseat and in 2010 an additional air conditioning unit was added to the bridge with a dedicated pump for a total 40k BTU cooling capacity on the bridge. The bridge was enclosed with clear hardglass and there is a custom made clear plexiglass hinged door that leads to the aft bridge deck. This eliminates the inconvenience of the typical zippered opening. The aft deck also features a stainless propane grill in a custom cabinet.

Believe also offers the optional "His" and "Hers" Master Stateroom Head arrangement.  

The engine room is not only large with excellent access but is spotless. There is a fuel polishing system installed on the aft bulkhead.  Believe also features the crew quarters option located just aft of the engine room.  

The owner has custom made covers for all exterior cushions, seats and tables which are used whenever Believe is not underway. The only way to truly appreciate the condition and care that has been given to this yacht since new is to view it in person.

 Please see the entire listing for additional custom features and equipment detail.
