Description
Water Bear is a spacious center cockpit version of Gary Mulls Freedom 45 design. Built in 1993 by Tillitson-Pearson Inc. (now TPI composites). On deck she boasts a deep secure cockpit with an electric harken halyard winch and an easy to access main traveler. Her decks are open and uncluttered with high stanchions and secure lifelines. Below decks you will be hard pressed to find a more spacious and accommodating interior on a 45' boat. Her large forward cabin opens to an enormous head with ensuite shower. Her main salon is warm and inviting yet also offers more storage than many much larger vessels. Interior upgrades include Seafrost refrigeration and a full new freshwater plumbing system done in PEX. Her large engine room offers access on all sides making service easy. Updated raw water systems and hoses can be found. Her aft cabin with center line queen berth is quite possibly the largest aft cabin on any 45' boat this broker has seen. Her aft head with separate shower round out features that make this boat both a blue water voyager and a comfortable live aboard cruiser. Her current owner has added a new chart plotter, autopilot and controller, GPS antenna, AIS receiver/transmitter, 400 amp hours of lithium batteries, two victron orion charge controllers, a new depth sounder, and a new wind gauge in early 2025.INTERIOR COMFORTS AND AMENITIES 12v Sea Frost Refrigeration Freezer - box only no mechanical Force 10 3 burner stove with oven and broiler Propane Shut off Vented Propane locker with 2 tanks GE Spacemaker Microwave oven Isotherm 25L Water Heater Pressurized water systemAll new PEX with shut off valves Manual Fresh water at Galley Marine Air 16KBTU Air conditioner 6' 5" Headroom in Salon 6'1" headroom in fwd and aft cabins 6'2" Long Fwd Berth ELECTRONICS AND NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT Navigation Lights on deck B&G Triton (2) Instrument Displays Richie Powerdamp Compass at helm B&G VHF Radio 3 *Chartplotter (Raymarine 12 inch) (2025)*Autopilot (Simrad NAC3 computer driving a Lecomble and Smith hydraulic ram) with button controller at the helm (2025)*GPS antenna (2025)*AIS receiver/transmitter (2025)*new depthsounder (2025)*Bluetooth antenna (2025)*wind gauge, B&G (2025) ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 12v DC Electrical System 120v AC Electrical System 30 amp (1)400 amp/hrs of lithium batteries (3) with 2 Victron Orion charge controllers and a new Lifeline engine start battery, agm (2025)4x100 watt flexible solar panels (2025)2 Victron Smart Solar controllers (2025) Victron Phoenix 3000 watt inverter w/remote control 30 amp Smart Cord Shorepower Cord 2x 80 amp engine driven alternators Balmar External Regulator MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT Manual bilge pump in cockpitRule 1500 electric bilge pump w/float switch Edson steering system (new 2018) USCG Safety Package Marelon Thru hulls thoroughout Emergency Tiller Bilge Blower Dual Racor Fuel Filter w/external vacuum gauge Bronze Max Prop feathering 3 blade DECK AND COCKPIT EQUIPMENT Lewmar Delta Primary Anchor 45lb with 3/8" chain approx 250' Fortress FX23 Secondary Anchor with approx 200' 3/4" nylon rode Lewmar 2000 Vertical WindlassDual Bow Roller Cockpit Bimini 6' 1" Headroom Side curtains for bimini Cockpit Cushions Fenders and Docklines Swim Platform Swim Ladder Bow Pulpit and Rails Dinghy Davits SAILS AND RIGGING Carbon Fiber Free Standing Mast (new 2018) Mainsail Stackpack W/Lazy Jacks Club Footed Jib with Suncover (1) Harken 48 Cockpit Winch Manual (1) Harken 48 Cockpit Winch Electric Manual Boom Vang Mainsheet TravelerSails are old and worn but still functional.
