2008 Back Cove 33 For Sale | Great Southern Yachts

2008 Back Cove 33

This is a good size of boat for someone who wants comfort without getting into a larger, more complicated yacht. The helm deck is bright and protected, the galley is up where people prefer to spend time, the cockpit is easy to move through, and the single 480HP Yanmar diesel keeps the maintenance of things much more straightforward.

The bigger notable here is the mechanical work. This boat has been upgraded with a Yanmar 480 HP diesel, ZF transmission, dripless shaft seal, strut, prop shaft, Nibral propeller, Mastervolt inverter/charger, newer batteries, newer Dometic refrigeration, Webasto diesel heat, and MaxPower bow and stern thrusters.

Only 230 hours since the engine and transmission were replaced and the boat was gone through. Recent maintenance includes fresh oils, fuel filters, coolant, anodes, alternator, starting batteries, and a fresh prop. The owner is also planning to haul the boat for fresh bottom paint and a polish.

A January 2025 survey rated the vessel in above average condition, and the survey notes the boat was inspected both in-water and out-of-water, with a limited trial run completed.

For a buyer looking for a Back Cove 33, this one checks a lot of boxes: single diesel, shaft drive, bow and stern thrusters, diesel heat, a spacious cockpit, excellent visibility, good interior volume, and major mechanical investment already done for the next owner.
