Water Bear is a spacious center-cockpit version of Gary Mull’s Freedom 45 design, built in 1993 by Tillitson-Pearson Inc. (now TPI Composites).
On deck, she boasts a deep, secure cockpit with an electric Harken halyard winch and an easy-to-access main traveler. Her decks are open and uncluttered with high stanchions and secure lifelines.
Below decks, you will be hard-pressed to find a more spacious and accommodating interior on a 45′ boat. Her large forward cabin opens to an enormous head with an en-suite shower. Her main salon is warm and inviting, yet also offers more storage than many much larger vessels. Interior upgrades include Seafrost refrigeration and a full, new freshwater plumbing system installed in PEX.
Her large engine room offers access on all sides, making service easy. Updated raw water systems and hoses are in place. Her aft cabin, with a centerline queen berth, is quite possibly the largest aft cabin on any 45′ boat this broker has seen. Her aft head, with a separate shower, rounds out the features that make this boat both a blue-water voyager and a comfortable live-aboard cruiser.
