Description

1991 Monterey 65 Convertible Custom Sportfish "Emma Ruth"

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. “Emma Ruth,” a Monterey 65 Convertible Custom Sportfish originally known as the "Gina Lisa," has undergone extensive enhancements. Describing her updates as merely "substantial" wouldn't do her justice. Under previous ownership, she received significant upgrades, including new MTU engines, a mezzanine, teak accents, and a hardtop. The former owner, a custom home builder, meticulously stripped and modernized the boat, bringing it up to contemporary standards. This includes new electronics, an island-style galley, satin walnut cabinetry throughout, quartz countertops, and a reconfigured stateroom layout featuring a nearly full-beam master suite.
