1982 Morgan

Super Mario’s interior is finished entirely in rich teak with a teak parquet sole throughout, giving her a warm, finished feel that belies her age. The layout is a practical center-cockpit arrangement with a three-cabin, two-head accommodation plan: a full-beam salon and dinette amidships, a starboard guest stateroom and forward V-berth cabin sharing a guest head, and a private aft master suite with its own ensuite head.

Entering down the center companionway, the salon opens up immediately, its sense of volume increased by a bulkhead-mounted mirror forward. Moving aft over the teak parquet sole, the navigation station sits to port with chart and manual storage, across from double doors into the engine room and a tall pantry closet leading back to the master stateroom. Forward of the salon, the guest head sits to port with the starboard guest stateroom across from it, and the V-berth cabin forward of that.

BROKER’S COMMENTS

Super Mario is an outstanding example of the popular Morgan Out Island 512 series. I sold this boat to the present owners in 2020 and helped deliver her from George Town, Exuma to Linton Bay, Panama — she was impressive across the eight-day Caribbean passage, sailing and motoring equally well, with the generator comfortably powering air conditioning and the water maker underway.

Since that delivery, the owners have cruised her around the Caribbean for six years, always keeping her in top condition, and have added substantial new gear over the last couple of years. She was hauled in July and painted for the next owner to simply launch and go.

I highly recommend this boat and, in my opinion, she is of terrific value at $110,000.

REVIEWS

·       SAILING Magazine’s Rebecca J. Casarez wrote that the Morgan Out Island 51/512 carries an undeserved reputation, calling it “a roomy, capable cruiser that performs decently, especially when reaching,” which she noted makes it a strong value on the used market.

·       The magazine detailed the model’s ketch rig in depth, noting a total of 18 stays and shrouds ranging from 7/16-inch wire at the forestay and main uppers down to 5/16-inch at the mizzen shrouds.

The review also noted the Out Island 51/512 comes standard with hydraulic steering, a detail worth factoring into any future autopilot or steering work
