LIFE SAVOR is a very nice example of this Tillotson Pearson classic downeast diesel cruiser True North 38. With a plumb bow, low and graceful sheerline, tumblehome and reverse transom with clam shell doors, and her Stars and Stripes blue hull, she is an absolute stunner! The seats in the cockpit slide aft to form a full transom wrap around or slide fwd to open the transom full width so you can pull your inflatable dinghy right into the cockpit.
Lightly used on Nantucket and with only 576 hours on her Yanmar 440 diesel, this boat is well equipped with the back seat and tables conversion, full electronics, reverse cycle AC/heat system, Espar diesel heater, generator, bow thruster, and more. Life Savor has grey Polystone counters in the galley and head areas which shows well against the varnished cherry trim and blue fabrics in the salon and grey fabrics below. The dinette settees pull out to sit six for dinner and the table goes down electrically to make up into a bed.
