From what we have seen during the last 7 years of working on this boat to make new again, you dont want a used boat. Deep down inside is a used older boat. Unless you do what we did, you can't hide its age behind new paint and carpet. Its just an old, ugly clogged artery, arthritic ol lady with lots of pretty lipstick on. Years of renewing this Ship, we can finally and truthfully say your future M2-60 is now not just new but, better than new.
What you're buying? 46,000 plus hours of highly artisan and detailed technical labor. All new award-winning parts and systems with zero hours. SO YOU CAN HAVE A TRUE, LIKE NEW, CALIBRATED/DIALED IN BOAT, READY FOR LONG RANGE departure at Launch time. We could have built a new custom yacht far faster, easier and for less but once we made the comittment to go all the way there was no turning back. Plus, you dont get a hull this good anymore. Being far offshore is this boats future.

Mikelsons best and most expensive hull design has room for all the family. You will be hard pressed to find anything thats installed on a new $8 million dollars 68' Viking 2023 open bridge or any new Mikelson yacht, that isn't installed on your new boat.
Designer specifications include best of the new Mikelson M2-60 Gen III systems, wood, windows, built in fly steps and redesigned helm. This hull is built better, engine room better. Thousands of small items each one by one redesigned and built better than OEM. With 42 years of Greg Moores offshore and yacht building experience and hands on Q.C., there's not a yacht factory in the world who knows more about offshore readiness.
The engineers and builders have the horsepower with the award-winning 710 hp Cummins M11 turbo in line 6 cyl, coupled to Stainless shaft with twin disc electronic transmissions complete with mechanical backups. All new engine beds, mounts, risers, exhaust, and a brand new engine room with 2 new diesel power generators and a complete new power distribution of up to 20kw of AC power and 1200 AH of DC 12 and 24V. Plenty of AC and DC power located in the new battery room and out of the engine room.
100% of all systems, machinery, mounts, couplers, hoses, walls, wood, cabinet, electrical, panels, ceilings, plumbing, everything above, under, over, below, and behind is all new. One or two items were perfect and remain and noted on survey. We didn't stop until this boat has been re engineered and rebuilt to be BEST in its class. This vessel recieved everything a boat could every wish for.
A new Mikelson 60 wont come with this upgraded Furuno electronics package or a hull thats still built this strong or with this many hull laminations or a core like this. Hull is 4 inches thick in middle, 10 inches in bow and 6 inches at transom.
With great attention to detail, we have included our own custom wood interior design, electrical engineering and offshore mechanical package. Greg Moore the designer (est. in 1986 as a local marine engineer and yacht builder for Knight & Carver) has tirelessly tolled until the vessel exceeded the Tom Fexas original design. You have Mikelsons all time best hull design (that this builder feels strongly is better than todays lighter yachts). We re gel koted the complete hull to fill in all the micropits found in the original glasswork, then added 3 kotes of 2 part primer and a high gloss LP boston whaler blue Awl-Grip to make her more appealing to the fish looking up. Then gelkoted dash areas for easy scratch repairs.
The cruising and fishing electronics were $100,000 wholesale in the boxes, installed worth closer to $160k and each items are the very best of its class or a recent electronics award winner by the NMEA. The windlass and thruster both sized larger than OEM. The best in class, much larger and 2 more stainless appliances/freezers.
You will get more comfort and safer reliability with hundreds of new top shelf details that took countless hours to discover, redesign and then integrate into the project with such beauty.
We went bigger and better and crafted longer, harder and smarter until perfection was obtained. Sometimes doing things three or four times before we can give you the very best.
The only difference in a 8 million dollar new boat and a 4 million new boat are the details. We succeeded in giving you as many of the value added upgrades as possible.
Experienced offshore boats know their boat must hold and stay reliable in high seas. This M2-60 boat, we deliver that. Extremely unique forces combined to bring the inspiration, horsepower and the big money into this extremely rare project. It's not easy to set new milestones in systems, comforts and hull integration that go above a modern and historical local importer like Mikelson yachts. The longest and most professional boat brand in all of California.
Mikelson, Viking, Fexas, Greg Moore all respected brand names and each have been in the business for 40 plus years. You can sleep easy knowing that this boat is built right.
Warning: After seeing the insides of the piles and pallets full of wires, plumbing, valves, hoses, wood, dented trim pieces, old veneer, windows, mirrors, engines, and everything else we had to take out of this boat, you might as well forget those other used boats. They will bring you big problems and most are high hour, pigs with lipstick.
This yacht can be purchased for as low as cost plus a fixed fee. You can't get new for less. Call Greg Moore at Boat yard san diego in otay mesa. Schedule a preview.
