• Pioneer’s parts inventory. There are tens of thousands of dollars of spare parts for engines and many of the boat systems, such as spare props, oil and diesel filters, thermostats, fuel solenoids, pump parts and rebuild kits, motors, valves, seals, gaskets, AC, oil, SS 50’davit cable replacement,  etc.,. Parts Kits: o-rings, retaining rings, Stewart-Warner flexible shaft maker , electrical wire connectors, and  much more.
• Extensive Collection of Mechanics Tools and Test Equipment including: ¼:, ½” and ¾” sockets, pliers, wrenches, drivers, pry bars, crimper tools, cutters, heat gun, 3/8” & ½” power drills, pipe cutters/threaders, tubing benders, bearing, bushing, impeller extractors, and prop pullers, grease guns, oil cans, hand pumps, funnels and more. All the tools necessary to repair most systems and complete an engine rebuild on-site.
• A partial list of replacement components includes the following spares: 32 V engine starter motor, complete Jabsco raw water pump, fuel solenoid, thermostat, AC fan motor, circulating pump/motor. Note: The choice of Cummins motors for the generators was because the 4 motors share a lot of common parts including starter motor, fuel solenoid, raw water pump, full flow and by-pass filters and so on. The common parts reduce the need to store different parts for different make engines which is often the case on pleasure yachts that are built for long distance travel to remote places where parts have to be air shipped in at great expense and loss of time.

Interior Layout

Pioneer’s thoughtful layout is an ideal comfortable cruising design. She has 6′ 6″+ head room throughout. On the lower deck the owner’s family aft suites are inspired by the idea of providing comfort and privacy, with a gorgeous spacious master suite aft; crew quarters  were   located forward accessed by a separate set of stairs from the salon. The salon and galley are midship on the main deck and above the engine room with the wheelhouse forward with large windows throughout the main deck cabins. Exotic woods  were used everywhere bringing in rich grains and warm tones  using first growth Burmese teak on the main deck, American Black Walnut in the master stateroom, Oak and Mahogany in the other 2 staterooms with carved solid wood closet doors of exceptional quality and design in all 3 staterooms. Beautiful hardware on all doors. . The exterior deck is open and safe, allowing anyone to enjoy the beautiful location you happen to be while at anchor or underway!

Hull and Deck Construction

The hull construction is of the highest quality fire retardant F/G resin reinforced with multiple layers of woven roving making a 1 ½” laminate on the inside and 1 ½” on the outside; and a 3” foam core center made up of 4” X 3” horizontal foam strips wrapped with F/G woven roving and resin making the boat hull solid, and able to stay afloat in the event of a severe break in the hull due to an impact accident. At the keel the F/G hull is reinforced up to 6” on the radius’. Internally the boat hull is further protected with built in 12 x F/G fuel tanks (3,925 US gals) surrounding the sides and bottom of the hulls interior, effectively creating a double hull below the water line.
