Broker Overview

This 2002 President 100 presents a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a large fiberglass motor yacht with significant recent investment. Priced at $1,499,000, it stands as one of the most competitively valued vessels in its class and size range. The previous owner undertook substantial preventative maintenance, including a complete rebuild of both Caterpillar 3412E main engines and the replacement of generators. This work was performed with the intention of a long-range cruise, indicating a commitment to reliability that is often lacking in yachts of this vintage. The four-cabin, four-head layout offers ample accommodation for extended cruising or charter potential. While President Yachts may not carry the same brand recognition as some European builders, they are known for robust fiberglass construction. The key here is the recent mechanical overhaul, which addresses the most significant capital expenditure concerns on a vessel of this age. Buyers should recognize that while the core machinery is refreshed, a full survey will identify areas for cosmetic updates or system upgrades to bring it to a modern standard, but the foundation is solid. This yacht offers considerable volume and capability for its asking price.

Why This Boat Stands Out

Recently rebuilt Caterpillar 3412E main engines — significant capital expense addressed.
New generators installed, enhancing reliability for long-range operation.
Spacious 4-cabin, 4-head layout ideal for family or charter.
Aggressive pricing for a 100-foot fiberglass motor yacht of its vintage.

Expert Review

The President 100 series offers a substantial platform for long-range cruising and comfortable living. Construction is solid fiberglass, known for durability and a relatively smooth ride in moderate seas. While not a high-performance yacht, the twin Caterpillar 3412E engines provide reliable power and a respectable cruising speed. The recent engine rebuilds and generator replacements are critical value adds, mitigating common concerns with older vessels. When surveying, particular attention should be paid to the condition of the deck hardware, teak decks if present, and the state of the navigation electronics, which may require updating. Inspect for any signs of water intrusion around windows or deck fittings. Comparable alternatives might include older Hatteras or Ocean Alexander yachts of similar size, but few will offer this level of recent mechanical investment at this price point. This yacht represents excellent value for a buyer who prioritizes mechanical reliability and interior volume over brand cachet, understanding that some cosmetic refresh may be desired.

Full Listing Description

The owner of this President Yacht did a lot of preventative maintenance in order to prepare his vessel to cruise from Fort Lauderdale back to Alaska. The main engines were rebuilt, the generators were replaced, and the stabilizer fins received their five-year service. “Glen Ellen” is one of the best buys on a fiberglass motor yacht of this size. This yacht is located in Fort Lauderdale, and she is easy to see.
