Sozo is a classic 1998 Ocean Alexander 50 Sport Sedan motoryacht with a strong reputation for solid engineering, seaworthiness and high-quality building materials. This vessel has been upgraded over the years and kept in immaculate condition. Sozo is located in Scottsboro, Alabama and offered by Curtis Stokes and Associates for $274,500.
Twin Volvo Penta TAMD 73P-A diesel engines that produce 430 hp each can push this vessel up to a top speed of 20 knots, but dialing it back to a more comfortable 15 knot cruise speed will greatly increase fuel efficiency and range. These diesel engines are paired with Twin Disc MG 507-A1 transmissions and three-blade Nibral propellers, with a Naiad Van Dusen and Meyer stabilization system. There are two power sources available while away from the dock: a Northern Lights 9 kW diesel generator and 1,850 watts of solar panels above the flybridge that supply a large battery bank and a Xantrex Freedom 100amp/2,000 watt inverter/charger.
Sozo is owner-operator friendly and can be piloted from the pilothouse or the flybridge, which is equipped with a full canvas and isinglass enclosure. Skippers will feel comfortable and confident with the following electronic and navigation systems:

Stainless-steel side rails lead to the foredeck which is equipped with a davit to launch and stow a small tender and a Mantus M2 anchor.
Two sliding glass doors lead into the salon from the cockpit. The woodwork is illuminated from the natural light that flows in from the large side windows, which can also open to circulate fresh air. The salon features two large recliners with table, loveseat, 32-inch flat-screen TV, Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo with speakers, Starlink internet for owners and guests to enjoy.
