Overview:

TAYLOR MADE has had just four owners since her launch on May 19, 1978. She has been kept on the Great Lakes since 1985 and has enjoyed the benefit of fresh water use as well as short seasons since that time. Her overall condition is immaculate. Her Sparkman & Stephens profile is certainly one of the nicest designs on the waterfront.

Accommodations

TAYLOR MADE offers three double staterooms aft, with separate crew quarters for two. MASTER CABIN: The full width master cabin is aft with walkaround queen sized berth with bedside cabinets to port and starboard as well as bulkhead mounted reading lamps. Bureaus are built-in on each side of the stateroom with numerous drawers and there are large linen drawers beneath the bed.

Both are furnished with twin lower berths separated by a night stand. The port stateroom has an additional Pullman berth for additional accommodation. Each stateroom has a cedar lined hanging locker. Forward to starboard is a head with stall shower which is to be shared by the two guest staterooms.

Remarks

TAYLOR MADE has belonged to the same family since 1990 and has only been used seasonally on the Great Lakes for many years. Her exterior paint is in excellent condition and her interior furnishings are fresh and immediately useable. This same Sparkman & Stephens hull design was the inspiration for Burger’s conceptual plans for a limited production revival of the “best traditional designs” by the Burger Boat Company. TAYLOR MADE represents an immediate opportunity to own a very clean, very proven, classic yacht with an excellent pedigree.

Exclusions

Accessories, personal items, china and stemware, & some artwork.
