£109,000 Trader 50 Long Range Motor Yacht. Unbelievable internal volume. It's a house on the water!
Tarquin Boat Company, have been building Trader boats for over 30 years, until in late 2009 they stopped trading due to financial reasons. They where built in Taiwan, to a very high quality, so don't normally have any major build related issues, other than the passing of time that is common on these older boats. Trader are well know as live-abroads and long range boats, capable of taking their owners, pretty much where ever they want to go in the world.
Large heavy boats, with solid construction, and huge internal space, make them perfect to live on, or for longer family trips. Often built with a large aft cabin and sometimes with an aft deck hard top, (that could store a tender) that can be enclosed to increase the internal volume of these boats. This large aft deck blended into the open fly bridge or upper helm, to just increase the overwhelming space these boats have. In their day it was not uncommon for a Trader to have close to twice the internal living space of anything else in it's class.
Never built for speed, they normally had two large engines, (this one has V8 Cats) that would run at slower speeds, giving a quiet comfortable cruise, around the 10-14 knot mark.
Sold, reliable, space for mile crushing is what comes to mind with these Traders, and as the name suggest, following the Trade Routes around the world.

That's a 100k project...not worth more than 30k in current condition. First impressions count, the impression here is whoever owns it puts minimal effort into it. You will uncover major skeletons ...

This was just a floating house for someone and their family to live on. The fact that it once was a motor yacht with actual running engines is from a long time ago. Maybe the engines were stripped out many years ago and it was just converted into a floating house?
What is unbelievable is the asking for this old battle axe.
RED is almost always POWER. Black is almost always direction . In this picture at 2:41, the upper helm, the Throttles are pulled aft and the transmissions are centered, at neutral. This is a Four Cabin ( forward cabin, two midship twins and the aft stateroom) boat. I Love this layout ! Beautiful !

Ooo, now there's a good question. Hard to say in this uk boat buying climate. I had to pay asking price when I bought my last boat, ouch! Although an ABYA report I read a while ago, said most boat sell for around 20% off first asking price. So I suggest do your home work, make an offer and see where it goes. Good luck.

If you're going to present a vessel...let's get it correct! Terrible presentation and grossly over priced! No sense of pride ON boat or video.
engine/engine compartment?
We’re looking for a yacht used for under $100,000 live board with a sliding rear patio style window entrance. The more like a condo it is the better. Two bedroom two bathroom. Can you recommend some models in that price range?
No photos of below deck , probably for a good reason. This boat was awesome when new, but use and lack of upkeep have rendered to be an expensive undertaking. I would advise caution and 2 surveys before purchasing this cool looking trawler.
Presentation is everything....this vessel is very very tired.....

The deck boards need a good clean , stain , and triple coat of sealer to protect it
