MOE IPO is a custom Stubenberg 65 motor yacht with flybridge originally built in 1937. She was then refitted in 1987 and underwent a major refit in 2002 by its current owner in Honolulu, Hawaii, where her underwater hull plating was renewed. The displacement hull has a deep-V entry tapering aft along her chine, rolling chock stabilizers along her underwater hull sides, moderate deadrise, and a vertical
transom carrying a cantilevered stainless welded swim platform. The vessel is arranged on multiple levels with a flying bridge, main deck, and lower accommodations. Twin diesel motors coupled to conventional straight shafts provide propulsion with a single rudder centerline.
