The teak paneling is a wonderful touch. I can just imagine entertaining my closest friends and family. Just looking out the windows while I’m sipping on cognac. This would be a wonderful vessel to do the loop with. The elegant interior along with its tough exterior. You have winds, no fear. You have rough waves, no fear.

I just found this video. I was aboard this boat a when i was a teenager. My grandpa had bought the boat and housed it up in Seattle. I recall taking my dog on the boat. recently we were reminiscing about the trip so i decided to look it up. When i went on it we had a jacuzzi on the back deck for my cousin and me. Glad to see the old gal still has life. If I could afford it I totally would buy it. It was a fun craft to tool around the san juan islands in.

Always looked at fishing vessels as a kid and thought they would make awesome yachts

Hey kids, what a totally different but interesting boat tour! That engine room was indeed immense but would have been interesting to know how this huge ship was moved through the water. Hard to tell just what those power plants were all about. Loved how Morgan was so quiet and peaceful during the walk through!

It's nice to see you showing different type of boats. I can't imagine the cost of bringing this to the Keys from California. It would make a fine home and business office at a marina.

One big thing about the configuration is that to get from the living area to the controls, one must go outside. That would put a damper on inclement weather operations, I would expect. Otherwise, it would be fine for a large group/family.

@paulnorman8274

Even on a pilothouse trawler, there is some expectation that the watch go outside from time to time. At which point, NOT schlepping it through living spaces soaking wet become an advantage. On a workboat/military boat/fishboat, this is even more so. Keep those on and off watch separate. There's also light discipline, and ability of the watch to stay 100% focused, to be concerned with. Capt Beebe, with a military background, was very adamant about light discipline in his seminal trawler book. Over they years, this has changed, as trawlers have become retirement boats for very experienced sailors two handing. Leading to Dashew's Great Room, which is also awfully similar to what Cornell did with his Garcia Expedition: It's kind of weird for a very experienced (knowledgeable about light discipline etc...) couple to cruise together yet only see one another as they trade watches.... But for cruising with families/children, and also less experienced guests: Getting the watch out of the way, so kids can be kids and guests be guests, without being yelled at for interfering with operations, is still likely a sound layout. The Boreal sail boats; while being set up for very similar programs as the Exploration line, but for cruising with children rather than as a couple; sticks the watch in a "doghouse," in between the cockpit and the main living areas. Still protected from the weather, but much more isolated from shipmates, than in the Garcia, where the boat is ran from the main saloon.

Just helping you out on your first Trawler...the furnace is unique to Trawlers as it is a "diesel" furnace that disperses heat through al levels...and the previous outriggers can easily be converted to a "Para vane" system which employs the use of fins to stabilize the boat while underway and an economical choice versus a very expensive "Sea keeper" stabilizer and "Naid" systems

Subs are frankly terrifying. I don't know how anyone could live in them. I went on the tour of the Soviet spy sub in Hamburg Habour a while back & it was so cramped, despite being the biggest diesel sub class ever made. Few things trigger claustrophobia in me but that, plus having watched "Das Boot" just made me want to get out and stay out as quickly as possible. I didn't make a scene or anything but it did get me to the edge of panic, unlike the tramp steamer they have a little way off, where it's possible to get into the prop shaft room which narrows & narrows up to the prop bearing itself. That was OK, but the sub, just, yikes.

Awesome.

Been nice to know what fuel capacity an distance in miles it could go. Some vessels this size can travel say from west coast to Hawaii easily.

Cool vessel. Note that fireplace is called a Franklin Stove--yes Ben Franklin invented it. I had one years ago.

I have some ideas. That bit in the aft part with that waste of space in the middle should be used as tender storage. So the location where the double beds are on either side should have bunk beds. The wall towards the aft at the head of the beds should be the dividing wall for day-heads with a small shower. You can fit those. Then connect the two berths with bunkbeds via small halls. The center space to the far back should then have watertight walls with an water tight hatch. Inside this space you should have a space for a jet ski/small boat and the hull of the ship towards the back should come down to let the jet ski/small boat out. I´d keep the stone work in all of the heads and do a lot of cleaning plumbing maintenance. I´d get rid of all the toilets, basins and taps, showerheads and replace them with proper porcelain and stainless steel elements. I´d get rid of all the veneered walls down there by the berths and add elements of timber in choice areas down there. Instead I´ll opt for the re-insulated, korian-like, (not reflective), white panelling readily available for marine use on the walls and between the internal finish and the hull and have inlaid timber with stonework on the flooring. The stonework tone must reflect the one in the heads. The saloon and galley looks great, just needs maintenance and care. Maybe replace the taps, safety proof the railing to downstairs, and get new stainless steel taps and showerheads in the stateroom upstairs and the galley. Replace all the appliances with Miele Stainless Steel Appliances. Do maintenance on the fireplace and add a proper wood storage next to it. Outside, fresh coat of paint on the boat. I´m thinking black on the hull, white on everything else with a red middle line between the two. Like a racing stripe. That entire deck seems ok except re-sanding and weather treatment and add some proper railing. Make space and add furniture to entertain guests. After all this I´m good and happy.

Not a bad looking vessel, some changes have been made as one can see, needs some more changes, but has alot of potential , overall not bad, I like it👍✌️

The Hi-ab crane is amazing

Now this is more my speed as far as big "yachts" are concerned. It's got rustic character inside and outside there were dents and dings along the hull and bulkheads outside that made me wonder if theres an interesting or cool story behind how it got there. This boat was refuge for a lot of fisherman at one point and she brought them home many times. I would LOVE one of these.

So, I wanted to make my barge diesel electric, and i still have PTSD from the sticker shock! So no, converting this vessel to diesel electric is not feasible. The price tag for that would be close to 10x what you’d pay for the boat. Converting her to a power/sail vessel would be vastly more economical.

"every boat is a project." so true.

Nice

Nice tour- thank you. Just to help a bit, the aft (at the stern) below deck storage compartment is called a lazarette.

thank you.

Grout all wood paneling grooves and paint...new moldings. Would look way better, fresh. Good head start, bathrooms look great. Would be nice as a docked live aboard. Huge deck is a plus. If I owned this id sleep in the pilot house:)

Wish l was 40 again! Love this boat

I would love to have that ship its Rilly nice it be great to take people out on fishing Cruz

For that price, I think there is quite a bit that didn't work or needs a refit/rebuilt. First thing I notices they didn't have done, was a head for the big/family guest room. Kinda weird that they had an unfinished wet head on the bridge, a head with full shower off the salon but none in the third room at the aft. Not much storage for guest use either. Not sure you'd want to go anywhere remote with only1 main engine either. Unless of course you have enough storage to store enough parts to totally rebuild your engines, generators and whatever else is critical to live on it and keep it afloat. Expedition ships/boats/yachts usually have 2 of everything at a minimum. I could hear water lapping in the aft cabin as well. That tells me there is no insulation and you have a really hard time maintaining comfortable cabin temps. All the being said, this is only some of what I noticed, I can see why it is so cheap. You have a decent tour though.

The purpose of angling the forward windows in the pilot house is to reduce the force of the water against the glass when you take a huge wave over the bow. It may or may not also reduce the "greenhouse effect" but that was not it's purpose.

Happy to read all of these expert opinions. I was a commercial crab fisherman in the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska during autumn and winter seasons from 1977 through 1990. Forward house boats in heavy weather are notorious for blowing windows out of the wheelhouse and I was on 4 boats over the years that went through that lovely exercise. All had vertical wheelhouse windows. I encountered equal and greater seas with green water over the bow on boats with forward-raked wheelhouse windows, without a problem. Say what you want about glare, but flooding all of your wheelhouse electronics with salt-water when it's blowing 60 is something I kinda wanted to avoid back then. Very happy it also had the benefit of allowing you to lose your sunglasses.
