Six years running a Westport 112 in the Pacific Northwest

A structured, revisable account that remains attached to the canonical boat record rather than disappearing into a general discussion.

David Cheng

Verified former ownerMarine engineer

We ran this sample boat from Puget Sound to Southeast Alaska every season for six years. It was a highly capable all-weather platform, with a few early-hull items worth understanding before purchase.

SEAKEEPING & HANDLING

Confidence-inspiring in a short Pacific chop. Trim discipline matters more than raw speed.

MACHINERY ACCESS

The engine room is workable, but several service points reward planning and the right tools.

RELIABILITY

The hull and major systems were dependable; the ownership burden came from normal large-yacht complexity.

WHAT I WOULD INSPECT

Steering unions, stabilizer service history, raw-water routing, and generator access.

WHAT I WOULD DO AGAIN

Buy on maintenance history and systems access, not surface cosmetics.
