Hyundai, while not a household name in North America, is an industrial giant whose shipbuilding division, Hyundai Heavy Industries, is the world’s largest shipbuilder, constructing fully 15% of the global fleet. In the late eighties, the company entered the pleasure craft market and began a modest run of one hundred hulls, fifty of which were completed just as the 10% Luxury Tax and the 1990 recession began. “Sabot” is one of these. These weren’t your typical Far East boats; rather, as one might expect of a builder of highly-engineered tankers, they were carefully thought-out in spec and execution, and were ahead of their time: there is a good deal of Euro and U.S.-sourced equipment, and all of it top-notch.. Then, as now, these Hyundai 49s offer a tremendous value for the money: first, the build quality is evident even after twenty years–no window leaks, no cracking of exterior FRP–evidence truly robust construction…and the original plumbing/wiring is all there. This 49-footer packs in what some 60-footers cannot. Space utilization and layout (especially the multitude of storage volumes throughout) make for a very roomy 2-stateroom 2-head cruiser or liveaboard. “Sabot” is a trawler that burns only 6 gallons per hour at 10 knots. She is also a pretty fast motoryacht topping out over 18 knots. Either way, she is an exceptional gunkholer drawing a tick over three and a half feet. Caterpillar 3208 engines are reliable and never suffered from all the issues of the modern day inline-six Cats. They can be bored out and, beyond that, even sleeved, making them “forever” engines. Finally, “Sabot” is a safe boat: her dinghy is an unsinkable Boston Whaler which is usually found on substantially larger vessels.
