1978 Formosa Doug Peterson 48' Hull (51'LOA) Offshore, 175 000 USD

This isn't a stock Formosa—it's a Doug Peterson hull, professionally extended to 48' hull (51' LOA), documented by yards that matter: Delta Ville Yard (ABYC Accredited ), Hinckley Yacht Services, and Mack Sails.

USHAS is one-of-one. No production run, no two are alike. The stern extension is integrated into the hull—not bolt-on. Longer waterline means better speed, stability, and seaworthiness.

Work you can trace (2017–2025):
• Perkins 4.236M rebuilt via Trans Atlantic Diesel: 85 hp, ~1,399 documented hours
