Overview

"Good Answer" is a magnificent vessel that was custom built with many special options that are evident throughout the yacht. On top of all the custom conveniences added she is powered with twin Caterpillar 1800hp C-32's that can propel her world famous Marlow composite structure hull efficiently. She can run at 8 knots for 3,000 miles on a single tank and can make fast passages at 20+ knots. Many owners of 78E's report they like to run "9 or 19 knots". She can cruise at 22-24 knots when moderately loaded. Good answer has always been professionally captain maintained and is in good condition and ready to fulfill the dreams of her new owner.


This yacht is very popular in the Bahamas with her fully protected keels and under 5' draft. Shallow draft and speed really open up the cruising grounds compared to her heavy slow deeper draft yachts on the market.
