Jonny's Quest - Tiara FOR SALE

TURN-KEY AND SERIOUSLY FOR SALE!

Meticulously cared for, Jonny’s Quest shows pride of ownership, and the extensive list of upgrades will impress even the most discerning buyer. This luxury express cruiser/sport yacht/motor yacht is truly ready to go.

Featuring the sought-after 1999 Tiara two-stateroom layout with a generous salon and aft galley, Jonny’s Quest delivers the ideal cruising yacht configuration. The forward master offers a centerline island berth and a 20" x 20" escape hatch overhead. Aft to starboard is a full-height hanging locker, while to port you’ll find an enclosed head with a separate shower. The salon sits just aft of the master with opposing port and starboard settees for easy lounging and entertaining.

Further aft, the galley is to starboard, and the guest stateroom—complete with convertible twin berths and its own head—is also to starboard. Between the galley and guest cabin, a companionway leads up just five steps to the helm deck. The helm is positioned to starboard with companion seating to port, offering excellent sightlines underway. Two steps down, the cockpit provides comfortable seating and dual transom doors (port and starboard) opening to a large swim platform that also carries a dinghy—perfect for waterfront adventures.

Entertainment systems are 12-volt, allowing the TVs and receivers to operate without the generator, so you can enjoy quiet evenings when the weather is mild and air conditioning isn’t required. Purpose-built for relaxed weekends and extended coastal cruising, this premium cabin cruiser balances comfort, style, and performance.

Additional equipment and notable upgrades

Attention to maintenance is evident throughout: the salon air conditioning was replaced in October 2014, and the starboard exhaust at the engine was renewed in November 2014, with all repairs consistently addressed promptly and properly to avoid lingering punch lists. For simplicity and reliability, the automatic shore power to generator option was removed and replaced with a manual switch, eliminating issues associated with automatic transfer systems. The Onan 20 kW generator shows 3328 hours and continues to deliver steady onboard power.

Updated features

In August 2008, the port engine experienced a failure attributable to a known CAT defect with the engine’s after cooler on this model; the failure allowed raw water to be ingested. The port motor underwent a complete rebuild by Pereira Diesel in Miami, FL. During the cause investigation, the starboard motor was inspected and its after cooler—judged likely to suffer a similar fate—was proactively replaced to prevent a repeat. At that time the hour meters read approximately 1850, with the port engine failure occurring at approximately 1700 hours; during the rebuild, both after coolers were upgraded to the new CAT specification, and subsequent to the August 2008 event the turbo chargers on both engines were replaced. Following the work, the port motor had approximately 200 hours while the starboard motor had approximately 1850 hours. Complementing these major updates are a reverse cycle air conditioner, a fresh water cooling system, hydraulic wheel steering, trim tabs, an Aftwood 200 gallon water heater, smoke detectors, engine hour meters, fuel gauges, rudder angle indicators, a bilge blower and engine room fans, Racor fuel filters and water separator, a reverse oil transfer/change system (main and generator), 4 bilge pumps, 2 high capacity alternators, a Fireboy FE‑241 automatic and manual fire extinguisher system, a Galley Maid super water pump, and new batteries in 2018.

Accomodations

“Jonny’s Quest” welcomes up to 6 guests in comfort, with a private stateroom featuring a queen berth and a versatile guest stateroom with twin berths. The dinette converts to sleep another two guests, and each stateroom enjoys its own ensuite head, ensuring privacy and ease for extended cruising.
