1989 Hi-Star AFT CABIN SUNDECK MOTOR YACHT

FantaSea is a Taiwanese Motoryacht built by Ta-Shing.  Some say this is Taiwan's design to compete with Hatteras.  Teak and Holly sole bow to stern, teak though the vessel.
 
A popular and reasonably priced boat during her production years, the Hi-Star 48 Sundeck was a top-of-the-line Taiwan import with a reputation for durable construction, superb engineering, and a comfortable ride. She's built on a conventional modified-V hull with moderate beam, Airex-cored hull sides, and a solid fiberglass bottom. Inside, the Hi-Star 48 has the traditional all-teak interior common to most Asian boats. Where many motor yachts this size have three staterooms, the Hi-Star has a two-stateroom floorplan with the galley and dinette down. This is a very wide-open layout with big staterooms and a full-size dinette, forward head w/ shower an unfortunate omission in a yacht of this type. Outside, the aft deck is large enough for plenty of deck furnishings, and wide side decks provide easy access to the foredeck. Additional features include a hardtop, molded bow pulpit, aft deck wet bar, and a notably well-arranged engine room. A good performer with standard 375hp Cats, the Hi-Star 48 will cruise 18 19 knots. The Hi-Star 55 Yacht Fisherman is the same boat with a cockpit addition.
