We'll all agree with this:
"Tucker Marine designed for a unique experience… a lazy afternoon on the hook in a peaceful cove, racing across a sun-dappled sea, slipping off the deck shoes and relaxing when the sun goes down, entertaining guests on the water or dockside, or visiting exotic ports of call on an extended cruise.Tucker Marine Yachts believes in building more than just boats. Every boat launched by Tucker Marine is an individual masterpiece, built to exceed the expectations of the discriminating owner. The Tucker Marine is powered by V-Drive Diesel engine(s) which drive the yacht to perform comfortably. The is perfect for enjoying quality time on the water with friends and family"

This vessel was built in 1969 as a 44 footer. The first owner used it for several years and wanted more room. In 1971, it was taken back to Tucker and extended 10 feet (to its' current 54 foot length) which added an additional bedroom and bathroom.
ReplyDeleteIt had CAT 3160 engines which were replaced with CAT 3208 marine engines and a new generator.
Hello Lynn,
ReplyDeleteGreat work with this site !
In addition to boats, Tucker Marine was also involved in bus conversions.
I am the proud owner of an '84, 30' Orion bus, converted from a factory new shell in 1984. (hi Dennis T.)
I have owned for about 12 years. It came with a complete set of construction drawings/prints. I would assume in Mr. Tucker's hand.
Also, I have an Orion factory brochure which shows examples of 'special use' vehicles. Under the heading of 'Luxury Motorcoach' is shown the interior of what I'm certain is a 'Tucker'.
While I realize this post is not marine related, it is interesting to look at the Tucker boats and see similar interior details.
