About This Vessel

This 2008 Back Cove 33, measures 33 ft, and is located in Penticton, British Columbia, powered by Yanmar 6LY3-ETP 480.00HP.

2008 Back Cove 33 This is a good size of boat for someone who wants comfort without getting into a larger, more complicated yacht. The helm deck is bright and protected, the galley is up where people prefer to spend time, the cockpit is easy to move through, and the single 480HP Yanmar diesel keeps the maintenance of things much more straightforward.The bigger notable here is the mechanical work. This boat has been upgraded with a Yanmar 480 HP diesel, ZF transmission, dripless shaft seal, strut, prop shaft, Nibral propeller, Mastervolt inverter/charger, newer batteries, newer Dometic refrigeration, Webasto diesel heat, and MaxPower bow and stern thrusters. Only 230 hours since the engine and transmission were replaced and the boat was gone through. Recent maintenance includes fresh oils, fuel filters, coolant, anodes, alternator, starting batteries, and a fresh prop. The owner is also planning to haul the boat for fresh bottom paint and a polish.A January 2025 survey rated the vessel in above average condition, and the survey notes the boat was inspected both in-water and out-of-water, with a limited trial run completed. For a buyer looking for a Back Cove 33, this one checks a lot of boxes: single diesel, shaft drive, bow and stern thrusters, diesel heat, a spacious cockpit, excellent visibility, good interior volume, and major mechanical investment already done for the next owner. Highlights:2008 Back Cove 33Classic Downeast-style hardtop express cruiserSingle Yanmar 6LY3-ETP diesel, 480 HPZF transmissionApprox. 230 hoursBow and stern thrustersDirect shaft driveDripless shaft sealFresh propWebasto diesel heatMastervolt 2000W inverter/chargerNewer starting batteriesNewer house batteriesTwo newer Dometic refrigeratorsRaymarine electronicsAutopilotICOM VHFQuick electric windlassEnclosed head with separate stall showerGalley up on the helm deckSurveyed January 2025Survey-rated above average conditionPlanned haul-out for bottom paint and polishDelivery options can be arrangedMechanical:Yanmar 6LY3-ETP, 5.813L turbocharged and intercooled diesel, 480 HP with a ZF 85A transmission with 2.5:1 gear ratio, direct drive, 2-inch stainless shaft, and Tides Marine dripless shaft seal. Recent/ongoing maintenance:Fresh oilsFuel filtersCoolantAnodesAlternatorStarting batteriesFresh propLayout:The Back Cove 33 has always had a strong following because it is easy to use.
