Selene's most popular model: the 53 (sold as the 55 in 2005-09) became the 54 on new molds. The only spec table found (HMY) is for the later 54 (59.83 ft LOA, 16.67 ft beam, 5.67 ft draft, 1,500 gal fuel, 400 gal water, 110 gal holding), so dimension fields are left null for the 53/55. Three staterooms; standup engine room off the master. Most have a single Cummins (430 hp quoted) plus wing engine; many 53s were twin-engine. Bow and stern thrusters listed.
