Momentum is an exceptional Fisher 30. She has been entirely rebuilt and refinished using only the best materials, with high-end and comprehensive systems (all new and unused), custom cherry interior, and excellent attention to detail. Essentially a new boat in all critical ways, she combines her excellent original hull and deck (originally built in 1976 by Fisher Yachts in England) with all-new mechanical, comfort, and electronics systems, making her perhaps the finest Fisher 30 anywhere. She is a unique and special vessel, available immediately and ready for your cruising plans with only a minimal shakedown of her new and as yet-untested systems.
An extensive and detailed description of the reconstruction process and systems installations is available at the following link, along with the final work completed after the boat was sold in 2015:
