This week’s brokerage boat of the week, Georgianna, was built in 2019. Powered by a single Volvo Penta D4-300 diesel engine with a Volvo Duo Prop outdrive, she is quick, nimble and economical to run.

Previously owned boats are often as good as new. And they’re frequently better equipped and available at a lower price than new boats. Fast Lane, an exceptional late-model Sabreline 47 Downeast-style motor yacht, is a prime example. The original owner ordered more than $200,000 in custom options when the boat was built and invested another $50,000 in maintenance and equipment upgrades.
