1975 Uniflite 48 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht

Offered here is a beautifully updated 1975 Uniflite 48 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht—a classic motoryacht known for its solid build, generous interior volume, and comfortable cruising layout. Notably, this vessel was stored since new in a covered slip on a freshwater lake until 2023, a rare advantage that has helped preserve both cosmetics and mechanical systems and contributes to her excellent overall condition today.

Measuring approximately 48’ overall, she features durable fiberglass construction and a spacious aft-cabin design with three staterooms and two heads, providing true motoryacht comfort for family and guests. Her layout is ideal for owners who want separate private sleeping areas, comfortable salon living space, and a flybridge for enjoying the outdoors.

Power comes from twin Crusader 454 gasoline inboards rated at 350 HP each, paired with direct drive for responsive handling and dependable performance. The vessel has also benefited from a major cosmetic refinish, including a full exterior paint of the topsides and bottom paint in 2025, making her a standout among classic aft-cabin cruisers.

• Freshwater, covered-slip kept until 2023 (stored since new)
