LOVE U 2 - CHB FOR SALE

This sought-after Edward Monk two-stateroom flybridge motor yacht offers outstanding indoor/outdoor volume for coastal cruising and liveaboard comfort. Handcrafted teak elevates the salon, while a broad, efficient flybridge and inviting bridge deck set the stage for effortless entertaining with family and friends.

Accommodations

Enter the main salon through either the port or starboard doors, where a three-seat sofa to port faces a two-seat sofa to starboard, creating a welcoming conversation area. Forward to port, a dining counter with two chairs invites casual meals, while the lower helm station forward to starboard places command close at hand. Aft, a cozy fireplace warms the ambiance beside a ship’s time clock, and entertainment is anchored by a vibrant 40" color TV. Three steps aft lead down to the private aft stateroom, centered around a generous king-size berth, with a hanging locker and cupboards to port and an enclosed head with a separate shower to starboard. Additional drawers starboard aft of the shower provide practical storage, and the forward bulkhead carries a 42" color TV for leisurely viewing. From the salon, descend four steps forward to a highly functional U-shaped galley to port with an enclosed head to starboard, then continue forward to the guest stateroom, thoughtfully appointed with a hanging locker and upper and lower berths to port, a settee forward, and ample storage lockers to starboard.

Galley

Purpose-built for extended cruising, the U-shaped galley is equipped with a 12V and 110V Magic Chef refrigerator with freezer, a three-burner Force 10 propane stove for precise cooking, and a Magic Chef microwave oven for effortless reheats and quick meals. Pressurized dockside fresh water ensures reliable flow, a Rheem 20-gal water heater delivers comforting hot water, and a deep stainless steel sink provides generous workspace for preparation and cleanup—all arranged for safe, intuitive movement underway.

Electronics and navigation

Confident passage-making is supported by Signet wind speed and direction, a Signet speed and distance log, and a Signet depth sounder, with all Signet instruments currently inoperative and ready for recommissioning as desired. A Ritchie compass provides timeless reliability, while a Furuno radar is presently inoperative. Communications are handled by two West Marine VHF radios, and classic timekeeping and weather reference come via a Seth Thomas First Tide ship’s time clock and Seth Thomas barometer. Entertainment flows through a Clarion CD and audio system, complemented by one Sony 40" TV and one Vizio 31" TV for flexible viewing throughout the yacht.

Electrical equipment

Power is intelligently managed with 12V DC and 110V AC systems feeding three West Marine house batteries (New 8/2025) and one AGM 31M engine start battery (New 8/2025). A battery parallel switch and battery monitor add control and insight, while a ProSport battery charger maintains optimal charge. A Chicago Electric 2000W inverter delivers dependable household power away from the dock, and a Northern Lights generator with 1678 hours provides robust auxiliary electricity, all overseen with a Blue Seas A/C multimeter for precise monitoring.

Deck equipment

On deck, a Rocna anchor paired with 3/8" chain and a McMurray electric windlass deliver authoritative holding and effortless retrieval. Protection and shade are provided by a bimini, aft deck cover, and window covers, while a 1999 AB 320 rigid bottom inflatable with a Yamaha 25hp outboard extends your reach to shore and beyond. Night operations benefit from anchor and steaming lights along with bright running lights, and movement around the foredeck is secure thanks to a bow pulpit, rails, and convenient boarding gates. Dock lines and fenders keep arrivals smooth, and waterside living is enhanced by a swim platform with swim ladder, a cockpit shower, and a Magma stainless steel BBQ. An aluminum electric dinghy stern davit simplifies tender handling to finish off a highly capable deck plan.

Hull

The actual LOA measures 48’6”, delivering the presence and volume of a much larger yacht while remaining nimble enough for close-quarters maneuvering.

Engine and mechanical

Performance comes from twin 1983 Perkins T6-3544M engines rated at 185hp each, showing 2980 hours, driving a four-blade bronze prop for smooth, efficient thrust. Engine-room confidence is reinforced by a bilge blower, engine alarm, Racor fuel filtration, and a raw water sea strainer, while Bennett trim tabs fine-tune running attitude. Dual control stations on the bridge and in the cabin enhance flexibility, and safety is backed by manual CO2 engine fire extinguishing. Hydraulic wheel steering transmits precise helm feel, and onboard systems include two electric heads feeding a 40-gal plastic holding tank, two stainless steel fuel tanks for dependable range, and two plastic water tanks to supply fresh water. Sea temp gauges monitor air temperature, sea temperature, and engine room temperature to keep conditions optimized.

Safety & fire protection

Safety is thoughtfully addressed with four life jackets and four fire extinguishers, complemented by a bell and horn to meet signaling needs and enhance peace of mind underway and at anchor.

Exclusions

All of the seller’s personal effects aboard are expressly excluded from the sale of this vessel, ensuring a clear handover at closing.
