Michael Rybovich & Sons has started construction of a new 82-foot convertible at its Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, facility, with an estimated completion in late 2022. The cold-molded, triple-planked solid-mahogany hull is well underway, and will feature a four-stateroom, five-head layout with large undermezzanine tackle and tool room, among many other notable options.
The popular MTU 16V2000 M96L engines will power the new 82, and the builder expects performance numbers similar to its recent 78-foot convertible, which saw 50 knots on the initial sea trial. A full complement of hand-selected teak will adorn the toe rail, transom, half-round, bridge rails, aft bulkhead and mezzanine.
