Fully restored from 2008-2012 by the best boatwrights in Seattle. Immaculate. Updated electronics. Recent hull survey shows bronze fasteners like new. Present owner of 17 years. Moored in Seattle in covered fresh water moorage since 2004. Extremely sea worthy. GRETA combines the unmistakable mid-50s vintage lines of a classic motoryacht with a completely updated list of equipment, electronics, and creature comforts that rival any other recreational cruiser today. No need to update or restore anything. It has all been done for you! Under her present owner, GRETA emerged from a complete restoration process 8 years ago, during which all systems were upgraded. Powered by twin Crusader 454 carburated gas engines with approximately 1,200 hours, she comfortably cruises at 8-10 knots (8 GPH with a range of 325 miles) and can reach a top speed of 20 knots. She has undergone a complete rewire, while every interior and exterior surface has been stripped, sanded, and painted. Varnished surfaces average around 5 coats. All bronze fittings have been rechromed. A 2021 hull survey (available upon request) showed only minor recommendations, which were immediately taken care of by the owner. Established in 1890, The Matthews Boat Company represented the peak of recreational cruiser design in the mid-nineteen fifties with dealerships located throughout the U.S. With the introduction of her 'convertible' option, the salon doors open fully onto the cockpit, offering 20' of living space and eliminating that closed-in feeling inherent with a single door entry. During her recent refit, the narrow companionway between the salon and the dinette/galley has been removed for a brighter, more spacious experience. In addition, her reconfigured flybridge now seats 6, and a custom aluminum alloy mast is hinged to permit 13'6" clearance in covered moorage. The new mast accommodates updated radar, chart plotter, depth sounder, GPS, KVH TV dome and hailer. This fully restored example of a siganture mid-50s cruiser design attracts onlookers wherever she cruises. If you are interested in owning a turnkey classic with all systems already upgraded, GRETA may be the opportunity you have been looking for.
