1997 Forbes Cooper Pilothouse

Here are 5 strong reasons to buy a 1997 Forbes Cooper 74 Pilothouse:

1. Spacious, Comfortable Living – With a full-beam owner’s cabin, VIP plus two guest cabins, and four ensuite heads, she offers megayacht-level accommodations that make extended cruising or even living aboard genuinely comfortable.

2. Excellent Livability for the Size – The interior layout, large salon, well-equipped galley, and climate control systems (reverse-cycle A/C + diesel heat) give you a comfortable home-like environment in a 74-footer.

3. Great for Owner-Operator Use – Designed for owner-operator cruising with sensible systems and good visibility from the pilothouse, she doesn’t require a full crew to operate confidently.

4. True Long-Range Capability – Efficient cruising (e.g., ~10 kn at 1000 RPM) with large fuel and water capacity makes this yacht capable of multi-day or coastal cruising without constant refueling.

5. Solid Construction & Classic Build – Built in British Columbia with robust design and quality materials, this model is known for its seaworthiness and durability, especially for cruising in challenging waters.

Overall, the 74 Pilothouse delivers a lot of boat for the size.
