REVERIE is a 2016 Back Cove 30 for sale in Scituate, Massachusetts, powered by the upgraded Yanmar 8LV370 370-hp V8 diesel. With only 415 engine hours, bow and stern thrusters, Garmin electronics, a generator, air conditioning and heat, and a highly functional Downeast-style layout, she is exceptionally well equipped for comfortable cruising and easy handling.

REVERIE is a particularly appealing example, offering the maneuverability of a single-engine cruiser with the added confidence of bow and stern thrusters.

2015 Yanmar 8LV370 with single lever throttle and shift. This is a V8 engine, not the 6-cylinder often found on sisterships and other boats this size. It is an incredible engine with additional torque and a great fit for this boat.
Until you have experienced one of these Yanmar 8LV 370hp engines, no superlative is going to adequately do the job of describing how qualitatively better the V8 is than their 6-cylinder equivalent. The difference in torque is unbelievable, and they are smoother and quieter and more fuel efficient at normal cruising speeds. And that REVERIE has this engine, is the single most important thing to know about the boat, on top of her being well kept and otherwise well-equipped with desirable options like Garmin electronics, bow and stern thrusters, generator and AC- to name just a few.
There is a reason why Back Cove has been so successful of late in the market. Their boats are chock full of features and layouts that today’s boaters are looking for in a well-built and affordable package with great customer service even to second and third and fourth owners of these boats in the brokerage market. Single engine for ease of maintenance, better fuel economy- and again, reasonable cost- is a defining element.
REVERIE is a very nice example of this successful class of Back Cove 30’s. Just the right size for a couple to easily handle and cruise while being large and comfortable enough to accommodate larger groups for day boating. Well done!
