Most people are not aware that Hyundai is the world’s largest shipbuilder, building over 15% of the entire commercial fleet. Between 1988 and 1990 they completed about 100 hulls of the 49’ Motor Yacht. Because of poor timing with the luxury tax and recession in the U.S., Hyundai sold the unfinished hulls which were later completed by other builders. MARY B is one of the last yachts officially completed by the original shipyard and the only one to feature a third cabin. This is significant because the later models completed by the Hyundai yard were known to be of much higher quality than the early models. With their extensive resources Hyundai engineered and crafted a luxury vessel with a build quality far above its peers and with accommodations usually only found on much larger yachts.
With their deservedly great reputation, the twin Caterpillar 375 H.P. 3208 TA engines push the MARY B along efficiently at up to 18 knots. The 12 kw Northern Lights generator along with 3 separate reverse cycle A/C units, washer/dryer, central vacuum system, and more provide all the comforts of home while at anchor or traveling.
Vessel Walkthrough and Accommodations
The spacious aft cabin owner’s stateroom features a centerline true California King bed with new mattress, an abundance of storage, and ensuite head with a Jacuzzi tub. Up three steps and you enter the airy and comfortable salon with lower helm station featuring 6’ 8” headroom and plenty of light from the wraparound windows/windshields. Continuing forward and down 3 steps to starboard is the open and fully equipped galley with full size fridge/freezer, convection microwave, and stove top. To port is the guest cabin with upper and lower berths. Under the steps down to 
the galley is the door providing access to the engine room with near standing headroom. Continuing forward is the VIP stateroom with centerline Queen berth and attached forward head. Aft of the salon and up three steps is the large aft deck fully enclosed with canvas/isinglass and covered with a hard top. This large, open area makes a perfect location for entertaining or just enjoying the scenery. Wing doors on port and starboard provide full and wide walk-around access to the foredeck. Up the steps from the aft deck is the comfortable flybridge with ample seating and a new bimini top. The dinghy is stored aft of the flybridge on the hardtop of the aft deck and is lowered with an electric davit. The space, quality, and accomodations are comparable to a Hatteras Motoryacht of the same size and vintage but at half the price, simply because Hyundai is not a household name.Salon:
The salon is large and open affording excellent visibility and light coming from the wraparound windows and windshields. Entrance from the aft deck is through a pair of swinging teak doors and with an elegant brass handrail. A settee and double swivel chairs provide plenty of seating along the beautiful teak hi-lo table and the salon features almost 7 feet of headroom.

Forward and aft accent mirrors lighten this comfortable room along with portlights and overhead hatch. There is a private door from this cabin to the head which is offset to port and also acts as a day head with a separate door to the forward galley area.
Guest Stateroom:
