In 1958 2 bell reading lights was all they needed for lighting. In today’s world we needed to add a bit more. 6 bi-color (red/white) dimmable lights in the wheelhouse and another 12 on the back deck. Thanks to Vimar switches and Imtra lighting for making an easy-to-install product.

She is a 1958 53’ Stephens built in Stockton, CA. Repowered with twin Cummins 450hp engines. Although well cared for by her original owner, she is currently going through a major refit that will extend her life for years to come.
