This Sabre 54 has twin Volvo Penta IPS II 900 engines and pods and can cruise comfortably in the Mid 20 Knot range. It has a 24 Volt DC electrical system and carries on board an Onan 13.5Kw generator. The custom 360 Series Blue Sea Systems panels were designed using the Panelwizard program and include the 8247 and 8248 digital multimeters. These panels are using the flat rocker breakers and in the picture you can see the circuits that are turned off because of the white edges of those circuit breakers.
