1985 Gulfstar Hirsch 45 "YOLA1", now available for $75,000
One of the most desirable models from Gulf Star's golden era, built in Sarasota, Florida during the mid 1980s in very limited numbers. Her center cockpit layout gives a true aft owner's stateroom with real privacy from the forward cabin, a benchmark design for bluewater cruising in this size range.
YOLA1 is set up for genuine long range cruising: repowered with a Yanmar 4JH4AE diesel, approximately 1,931 hours, plus a Spectra watermaker, solar charging feeding a lithium house bank, and reverse cycle A/C in the salon and stateroom. Standing rigging was replaced in 2023, hull stripped and epoxy barrier coated in 2022, and a bow thruster added for easy handling in tight quarters.
Located in Deltaville, Virginia. Contact Jason Burford to schedule a showing.
