Description
1979 Burger 86' Raised Pilothouse
Freedom is a handsome, classic Burger Yacht that incorporates a lot of the most popular features of this builder. She is built with four watertight bulkheads, a double bottom and full keel protecting her props. She offers excellent range and fuel economy at displacement speeds and 20 knots in moderate seas at full power. Every upgrade that has been made has been in keeping with the original lines and concept of the boat. The rich Burger trademark quality and grace is very evident throughout. Always well-maintained, Freedom has received many upgrades and improvements over the years. She shows and operates like a much newer yacht.
Beautifully updated and upgraded by her current owner, Freedom has new marble countertops throughout, textured wallcoverings, new flooring and so much more that now incorporates a Carolina Chic while still maintaining the class of the classic Burger style.
Note, the top of the flybridge windshield measures 17'08" from the waterline meaning she is Great Loop capable.
Aspire Yacht Sales is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by United Yacht Sales. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is not intended to convey direct representation of a particular vessel
