Shepsl X, a 1986 87-foot Burger flush-deck motoryacht, started out as an 81-footer, but the aluminum hull was extended in 1992 to create a semi-enclosed cockpit and extra lazarette stowage. This yacht has classic lines and has been well-maintained and upgraded over the years. Shepsl X has been put on the market by Gilman Yachts for $1.495 million.

Some of the yacht’s updates include modern navigation and communication systems in the pilothouse and recently replaced galley appliances. Interior upgrades include refreshed upholstery and refinished woodwork. On the exterior, the motoryacht’s teak decks have been meticulously maintained, and the addition of upgraded stabilizers help provide a comfortable cruising experience.

Shepsl X is powered by twin 1,080 hp Detroit Diesel 12V71TI engines, which provides a reported maximum speed of 22 knots. Cruise speed is 17 knots. The yacht’s 3,830-gallon fuel capacity should provide long range for even the most-adventurous owner.  A 5-foot-6-inch draft makes this yacht Bahamas-friendly too.

The yacht’s exterior decks are spacious, blending function and luxury. The teak cockpit has a teak table with seating for six, making it an ideal space for alfresco dining or lounging. Wide side decks ensure safe transit around the yacht and the foredeck offers a little more privacy. A swim platform provides easy water access for swimming and launching watertoys.
