{"id":627,"count":6,"description":"The Morgan 462 is presented in available listings as a late 1970s\u2013early 1980s center\u2011cockpit cruising monohull noted for heavy fiberglass construction and bluewater capability. Examples shown span build years around 1979\u20131982. Multiple listings emphasize substantial laminate thickness\u2014described in one survey as nearly two inches of solid fiberglass\u2014along with a keel\u2011stepped mast and a center cockpit arrangement aimed at offshore protection and crew safety.\n\nAccommodation plans commonly cited are a two\u2011cabin, two\u2011head layout with a spacious aft stateroom featuring an athwartships or queen berth and an en\u2011suite head that, in several listings, includes a bathtub and separate shower. A walk\u2011through passage from the salon to the aft cabin with workshop space and generous engine access is repeatedly mentioned. Forward accommodation is typically a private V\u2011berth with its own head, and the salon typically incorporates a large U\u2011shaped settee and an adjacent navigation station suitable for charting and electronics installation.\n\nGalley descriptions in the listings emphasize a layout intended for serious cruising, with significant counter space, an oven and stove, and extensive refrigeration. Storage capacity and practical engine room access are highlighted as features that support long passages and liveaboard use.\n\nRigging descriptions vary across listings; one describes the yacht as a cutter\u2011rigged ketch while others focus on solid standing rigging and a keel\u2011stepped mast. Mechanical items cited include the Perkins 4\u2011154 diesel as an example powerplant in at least one yacht, and refit examples reference recently serviced engines and replaced running rigging. Several listings document comprehensive electrical upgrades on refitted boats, including lithium battery banks, solar arrays with MPPT charge controllers, new wiring and distribution panels, LED lighting and upgraded shore power systems, along with modern navigation electronics and autopilot.\n\nDesign attribution in the available material is not uniform: some listings name Henry Scheel as designer while others attribute the design to Charley Morgan. Across the advertised examples the Morgan 462 is consistently framed as a robust, well\u2011equipped hull favored for passagemaking and extended liveaboard use, with specific systems condition and outfitting varying by individual boat and refit history.","link":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/brand\/morgan-462\/","name":"Morgan 462","slug":"morgan-462","taxonomy":"brand","parent":591,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/brand"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/591"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reference?brand=627"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yachts-for-sale?brand=627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
