No matter  what size the yachts are on the dock alongside MRS. CHIPS,  they can  not compete with her timeless good looks and exquisite maintenance program. She shines like a diamond in bright daylight and glimmers spectacularly like the most beautiful South Sea pearl in the evening light.  She is waxed a minimum of twice a year and is kept to 'White Glove" standards.  No where in the entire yacht can you not find everything kept in superior condition.  MRS. CHIPS will run circles around most Motor Yachts her size with a very nimble turn of speed, 22 knots @ 1850 RPM and will top out at an exhilerating 34 knots.

MRS. CHIPS was painted from the bottom of her keel to the top of her hard top (2017), but looks like she just came out of the VIKING paint shed today.  Her paintwork was completed in white IMRON and was also top coated with clear IMRON, providing a deep lustrous final product. Accent striping and water lines are in red and green. Prior to the completion of her spectacular paint work, her bottom was sandblasted and 2 coats of epoxy were applied. There were no blisters to be found.

Starting forward on the deck one finds custom MARQUIPT fender holders located on both sides aft of the pulpit. Her stainless steel 80lb. PLOW is mounted with 240' of galvanized chain all the way forward on the pulpit.  The MAXWELL(rebulit) windlass is 24v and has foot pedals mounted on the deck.  The hand brake is secure in a low profile box. There is a power switch located on the helm in the sky lounge. Mounted on the railings forward of the house is a custom boarding ladder with 7 cork treads on  steps and an offset plate. There is also a vertical boarding ladder.  Custom stainless steel rails have been added. The artisan welder did not stop there. All house side rails are also in stainless steel.

Moving aft there are two 6' long custom built fiberglass deck  boxes with custom cushions and covers providing excellent seating and storage.  A great place to stretch out under the stars. The deck boxes are mounted outboard on either side of the 15' AB inflatable tender. The center console tender is equipped with a  60hp Evinrude. The tender was re-tubed and completely serviced in 2021. For electronics, the tender has a GARMIN GPS WITH MULTI FUNCTION SCREEN and a VHF. A 1500lb MARQUIPT DAVIT is mounted on the port foredeck of Mrs Chips.

Proceeding aft along the side decks one finds 2 wing doors.  There are three doors leading onto the aft deck saloon, All new locks were installed and there is a spare lock set(aft) in the ships stores .

 As you enter from the deck of MRS CHIPS through either the port or starboard wing doors you will be amazed at the classic and elegant space that you have just entered. Unlike most of MRS. CHIPS' sisterships, the aft deck saloon was ordered originally with very large sliding side windows and impressive aft windows.  No matter where one decides to sit, you will have a great view of the world as MRS. CHIPS glides effortlessly by.

Running along the back and port side of this comfy space, there is a L shaped settee with volumes of storage beneath. To starboard are 2 stand alone  chairs.  Adjacent to the aft chair there is a GLENDINNING remote control plug. 

Everywhere that you look you will find highly varnished matched teak woodwork that has been accomplished over  time using the best crafts people and varnishers.  Each piece of teak was pain snakingly selected.  MRS. CHIPS has benefitted from having a dedicated varnisher who comes annually from the North East to ensure that all wood work is of furniture quality. When this owner purchased MRS. CHIPS she was a white plastic production yacht.  No longer. She is now a very inviting, elegant, comfortable place to be whether sitting at the dock watching the sunset or heading off to new places to explore.  Even the windows have been framed out in glorious varnished teak as well.  The front of the wet bar's 110v ULINE refrigerator has also been teak clad. Above the wet bar is a 42' Samsung 4K TV.  Directly behind the TV is a large well lighted storage area with bar storage and for paper products etc. Of course one may choose to listen to the FUSION system that has been paired with PIONEER speakers While hanging out on this very comfortable deck.

Throughout the yacht you will see 52 light fixtures that have been converted to LED lighting.  Each light fixture has a handmade teak donut surrounding it.  The overhead of the entire yacht is absolutely pristine and has  custom one of a kind designed grab railings installed as needed.

To starboard there is a door that leads out to the line handling deck.  The safety of this area has been truly increased immeasurably by the seller by adding custom designed stainless steel railings that run the entire coaming.  While his stainless steel artisan was busy creating these lower railing, the seller also had the artisan welder create additional toe railings for the upper deck.  Two custom stainless steel ladders that are built to the specifications of a very astute yachtsman, were also added at that time.  This provides safety for either crew or the owner operator  with easy safe access to the top of the aft deck and the top of the hard top. Seeing a definite lack of good docking cleats,  the seller also had custom cleats added.to just outboard of the line handling deck.

Back on the aft deck saloon with its intricate ORIENTAL RUG one may pass down the companionway forward and on the center line fitted with custom side handrails into the lower saloon. Or one may head up to the SKY BRIDGE COMMAND CENTER, the center of the action, the  AFT DECK UPPER SALOON is the social center of the yacht.

As you come up the stairs from the aft deck saloon, you will find a most amazing climate controlled COMMAND BRIDGE helm and 3 custom STIDD HIGH LADDER BACK helm seats The STIDD seats also recline. For the cost of these upgraded seats, they should come with a masseuse. To make it easy for all persons aboard  to access the command bridge, custom stainless steel and teak hand rails were designed by the owner and  have been added to the companionway and to the sky lounge.  There is comfortable seating in a L shape with storage below that runs along the aft bulkhead and the port side of the sky bridge.  There is even a teak trimmed foldable foot rest that makes for just a bit more comfort when sitting on the aft settee. Large tinted  opening windows are also located aft.  The forward windshield has a UV film and the two smalt vent windows do open.  Many electrical outlets  throughout the yacht as well as any additional newly added electrical outlets have been upgraded with  USB ports. Overhead, there is an opening BOMAR hatch.

 The decking is synthetic teak and holly which is in like new condition.

The entire forward bridge is a custom teak dash and electronic overhead pods. The attention to detail, and the redundancy  is once again over the top. Each of the light fixtures and electronic pods has been detailed with hand crafted highly varnished teak.  This command bridge was very quiet when MRS. CHIPS was built as she was ordered with full glass windows, solid lower aft deck enclosure and hard top, but now even more so. The hard framed glass windshield has  3 independent freshwater washers and oversized wipers.  As an owner operator or as a captain, you will appreciate the nearly 360 degrees of visibility.  Of course the on board camera system also provides an added sense of security. 

All New Ray Marine electronics were installed in 2015 and constantly tpgraded

3  individual 16' primary screens and the  4 7" screens on one network.

As there are 3 MASTERVOLT CHARGERS(2015) located on board, there is a display to view the health of the 3 chargers located on the bridge helm as well. 

The power for the command bridge is provided by a dedicated MASTERVOLT CHARGER and a set of batteries(2021)  If one were to have an emergency and lost power to the bridge, power may be pulled from the engine room. One more example of  thoughtful redundancy.

The companionway down from the aft deck saloon to the lower saloon has great custom handrails.  The lower saloon has large windows that run the length of the saloon providing the optimum amount of natural daylight.  There is a very comfortable L shaped settee with storage beneath is located to port. To starboard there are several electrical and control panels hidden behind raised panel cabinet doors.. One may control the INTELLIAN HD6 the FUSION RADIO complete with SXM.  More storage is located between the panels and the dinette.

There are 2 state of the art displays for the upgraded CHARLES TRANSFORMERS. The same panel also has displays for fire and high water alarms with a very very loud annunciator. A separate local TV antenna controls are easy to use in this location.

The 4 midships mounted GLENDENINNG Cable Masters have their own dedicated breaker panel as well as an upgraded ships electrical panel for both of the  AC ad DC ship's systems.

A full sized double door KENMORE refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and glass stove top all will delight the sea going chef. The galley sole has been upgraded to varnished teak flooring and all cabinets have had new coats of high gloss varnish applied.  The cabinets each have slide outs. Custom overhead lockers are very useful for dishes etc.as well as under counter custom lighting.. A custom cutting board disappears into the cabinet and drawers all are wonderful features of this very practical galley. Not only will you find good storage in the galley, but also behind the 42' Samsung 4k TV that is paired with a BOSE sound bar, there is very deep storage custom built in behind the TV for a plethora of item.

Back up the stairs and across the lower saloon to the aft companionway that leads to the master en-suite and built in storage just adjacent to the  entrance to the engine room.  The 3 step companionway has custom stainless steel handrails. Immediately to port is the engine room foyer and entrance to the engine room.

The master suite has a King sized centerline berth. On the forward bulkhead one will find the third hidden dehumidifier as well as a  32” SHARP TV and DVD player is mounted above the dehumidifier. 

The walk in cedar lined  hanging locker that is located to starboard is over sized and has a built in safe. Also along the starboard side there are built in drawers. High water and fire alarm panel is located close to the master berth. Another example of the safety minded owner. Twin night stands will hold your book and glass of wine. Along the port side is located a custom dressing table with mirror and makeup lighting. A second hanging locker is located between the dressing table and the entrance to the en-suite head.

The entire master stateroom has new highly varnished teak paneling and all of the original BOMAR portlights were removed and new fiberglass framed portlights with fixed glass were installed. Of course the owner had his teak guru fashion custom teak trim for the portlights.  The aft corner cloth panels on both sides were also replaced with highly varnished teak with access panels. Additional beautiful architectural columns are located over the head board. There is even storage in the varnished teak headboard locker.

The en-suite head has had custom stainless handrails installed around the commode and in the shower.  All sanitation hoses have been replaced as well as in the other two heads. Double sink vanity, good storage and roomy  shower are welcoming. Of course the upgraded custom varnished teak laminate sole just gleams.

A unique feature of this lovely VIKING is the engine room foyer that provides additional sound shielding for the master suite and the rest of the yacht.  There is also storage for engine parts etc.  Opening the soundproof engine room door, one steps into a gleaming incredibly bright white engine room. There are no shadows to be seen either in person or via the engine room camera system. Remote monitoring of  this power room is made extremely easy as any drip, drop or dust bunny will show up.  There are also very handy engine gages mounted at eye level. MRS. CHIPS has fastidiously maintained  1200 HP  MAN engines that have been upgraded to current standards. Injection pumps have been rebuilt, all new upgraded  valves and guides, and new hoses and fuel lines have been installed.  Oils are changed religiously.  

A custom fuel manifold was designed by the owner and should be installed in all yacht engine rooms.  It allows either of the engines to draw fuel from either port or starboard fuel tanks.  The two fuel tanks each has a dedicated Racor Fuel Polisher.  The top of the line fuel polishers can be run 24/7 always providing clean fuel. This air conditioned engine room can be comfortable to work in.  There are 7 DOMETIC A/C compressors are located at the forward end of the engine room on a raised platform. 4 1 1/4" GROCO  strainers supply water to the 2 3/4" OBERDORFER pumps which  supply water to the 7 compressors.   On his platform there is also a larger ships water pump(shallow well pump) with an oversized pressure tank for the freshwater system. The STAINLESS STEEL 20 GALLON  hot water heater is also in this pump area.  This water heater has smart technology with an high output designed for quick recovery.  A large tool chest is  installed near center line on this platform. To starboard there is the ONAN 20 KW Generator in a hard sound shield which is up to date on all services and has had the injection pump rebuilt.

The fixed fire suppression system is up to date.

There are spare dripless shaft seals in place.

Fresh water bib with hose can be useful at times.

BRIGHT LED LIGHTING is installed in the entire engine room.

All house and start batteries are located outboard and aft of the engines.. This engine room is a delight to show or to just sit and visit with the power plants. Rarely do I see a captain or owner take such pride in their engine room.  MRS CHIPS is blessed with both an owner and a captain who need to have a spectacular engine room. A speck of dust or a tiny drop anywhere in the engine room is cause for angst.
