Stunning Stephens triple cockpit in bristol condition

Stephens Brothers Boat Builders were well known as boatbuilders on the West Coast based in Stockton California from 1902 through 1987.  Over the years the company designed and built many custom luxury pleasure craft including sailboats, speedboats, cruisers and private yachts.

This gorgeous example was built as a luxury day boat Sea Stag II for the Stagnaros family of California as a thrill ride and passenger carrying craft; a business venture to compliment the family's fishing charter operation. Sea Stag II operated for many years off of Pleasure Pier in Santa Cruz and was a draw for tourists and residents alike and the Sea Stag II was reputed by its owners to be the largest and fastest commercial speedboat in the world.

She was later reportedly owned by actors Wes Parker and James Dean and is known to have spent time in Lake Tahoe and San Francisco.

In 2021 the vessel underwent a full refit by Maya Boatworks of Fairhaven Michigan.  Work performed includes a full bottom replacement, complete re-varnish, major parts re-chromed and polished, diesel re-power and custom upholstery. 

Her bottom is West System with a combination of Okoume and Sapele plywood professionally done by a well know restorer. The decks are made of South America mahogany and the cockpit soles are teak, all sporting fresh gleaming varnish.

Originally powered with a Hall Scott Defender V12 engine, she was capable of speeds over 45 mph, she has been re-powered with a modern Cummins QSM 11 diesel engine with electronic controls and a bow thruster has been added for ease of maneuvering.

Her updating to modern standards includes all new wiring and gauges, GPS, VHF Radio, stereo system with subwoofer and 2 amps, bow area fully padded with changing room seat, mahogany floors and macerating toilet, water tank, aft sink,  automatic anchor system, LED lighting, stainless steel bimini top, swim grid, stainless steel ladder to swim grid, stainless steel and marble cocktail table and finally an automatic bar beverage dispensing system!

This is a one of a kind boat which has been very nicely restored and carefully maintained and she is in immaculate condition. The last survey described her in "Bristol" condition.

Sale includes a Quad axle trailer 28,000 lb trailer.
