I purchased this wonderful trawler in January 2021.  The prior owner and I brought the boat from his home across Lake okeechobee, through the Caloosahatchee waterway, into the Gulf of Mexico, then to Clearwater.  Home has been Clearwater since.  Prior owner was 35yr licensed boat captain.  He replaced the original fuel tanks with custom built aluminum tanks made to original specifications.

April 2021 the boat had new bottom paint, blister repair, new Vetus 60 bow thruster installed, all professionally done by Marina Mar in Tarpon Springs.  Since the bottom job was done the bottom has been professionally maintained with monthly hull cleanings.

June of 2021 the batteries were rewired and a new Xantrex inverter/charger installed - all work professionally done by Louie’s Marine Electrical service.

January 2022 main engine cooling system was restored with new tranny cool, oil cooler, water pump impeller and heat exchanger cleaned.  New shift and throttle cables have been installed from the lower helm to the engine. 

Raymarine chart plotter installed in lower helm station.  Raymarine ST4000 autopilot installed in lower helm station with controls at both helms.  Furuno “firstwatch” DRS4W radar system installed.

The boat is currently insured through Geico marine as required by our home marina.

We have full canvas enclosure for the sundeck cleaned and ready to install.  

Last bottom job was professionally completed in 8/2023:  anti-fouling paint, zinc replacement and new cutlass bearing.  Relaunched 8/5/2023.

We keep the boat ready to use.
