Pacemaker Yachts built a strong reputation for producing solidly constructed motor yachts with timeless styling, practical layouts, and generous interior volume. Their flybridge models remain popular among buyers looking for classic styling, comfortable cruising accommodations, and the kind of build quality that has allowed these boats to remain desirable decades later.
This 1977 40’ Pacemaker Flybridge Motor Yacht offers a spacious two-stateroom, two-head layout with upper and lower helm stations, wide side decks, and a large salon that makes the boat feel bigger than her true size. Powered by twin 454 Crusader 7.4L V-8 engines rated at 350hp each, both engines were professionally rebuilt in 2017 and now show just under 600 hours since rebuild. A 6.5kW Onan generator supports extended stays aboard, while upgraded Raymarine electronics and a thru-hull bow thruster make docking and close-quarters handling much easier.
This is a freshwater Pacemaker with a strong ownership history, originally sold through Dawson Marine on Lake Simcoe, held by one owner for at least fifteen years, purchased in 2015 from Marina Del Rey, and most recently acquired in 2024 through Yacht Network. She was surveyed in May of 2021, and presents as a classic motor yacht with meaningful upgrades already in place. The front and starboard pilothouse glass are cracked and will require replacement, but for the buyer looking for a roomy, proven freshwater cruiser with rebuilt Crusader power, upgraded electronics, and timeless Pacemaker styling, this represents a compelling opportunity.
