Morris Yachts` 44 ft. salon cruiser is a power yacht of the highest quality aimed at the sophisticated, highly-experienced motor yacht owner. Its fast, sift-riding hull embodies the cutting edge of power cruising technology. While earlier examples of this fine-riding hull were designed with a low profile and minimal accommodations, the Morris Liberty 44 offers luxurious amenities for two couples in the popular galley up` arrangement. The dinette is elevated so that both the helmsman and his guests can have a fine view of the surroundings when the yacht is in running trim.
The Liberty 44 sports a high-speed vee bottom with effective spray chines so that the yacht can be driven at higher than lobsterboat speeds with lower power, combined with a beautiful traditional, low windage topside shape.
With the high-efficiency bottom, the Liberty 44 can easily run at 22 knots with a single diesel engine and at over 30 knots with two. The difference is the keel- the single engine version retains a full length keel for protection of her running gear while the twin-powered version is molded without the keel.
