“In the development of the 52 Ovation, we were compelled to make the Volvo’s IPS standard equipment for many reasons, not the least being the significant interior layout advantages we achieved by having engines mounted further aft in the boat. The full-beam master in the 52 Ovation is
a full 30 inches longer fore and aft due to the IPS application. The unique triple engine application provides performance at 52 feet we’ve never experienced before in inboard cruising.”—Mike Usina, Ovation Vice President Sales and Marketing

Ovation 52
The Ovation is one of the first production boats in the world to employ triple 500 Volvo IPS engines. The engine’s geometry allows it to be positioned much farther aft, resulting in a 30-inch savings in usable space. That means lots of room for a large cockpit; a cherry-wood main cabin that features portside incliners and a starboardside curved upholstered lounge; a raised salon, galley and dinette that offers guests a 360° panoramic view; a main cabin bathed in natural light; a spacious forward VIP stateroom; a spacious full-beam master stateroom that features a walkaround queen-sized bed; and a bridge that can accommodate as many as 15 guests, with two side lounges and a full-beam settee aft. And that’s only a sample of what this ample, Overall length ...............................................52’ powerful boat has to offer. www.ovationyachts.com

“Our boats are custom, Carolina-style sportfishing yachts. Our normal boats are between 60 and 66 feet. Every once in a while, people will ask about a custom yacht. We were approached by Volvo about two years ago to look at building a custom boat with an IPS installation. And the neatest thing about the 43 is that you have an express boat with
two private staterooms. The bunks are built over the fuel tanks, so you have an incredible range on that boat. The neat part about the IPS package is the space saving nature of it. … It also really opens the boat and makes it all a lot more user friendly.”—Chris Blanchard, Spencer Yachts
The new Spencer 43 Express, built by sportsfishing legend and custom builder Paul Spencer, is the first yacht exclusively for sportsfishing equipped with Volvo Penta IPS. With its 102-square foot cockpit, fresh- and saltwater washdown, a large transom fish box/livewell and a large stand-up style fish box that can be refrigerated, this boat is an excellent angling vessel. And with two staterooms, as well as a roomy salon with galley and head, this “express” is spacious enough to keep you comfortable. www.spenceryachtsinc.com Overall Length ......................................... 43’ 0” Beam ............................................................ 14’ 10” Draft................................................................ 3’ 4” Fuel Capacity ....................................... 650 gals.
