You'll Be SHOCKED by This DIRT CHEAP & IMMACULATE Steel Trawler [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

If you are considering The Great American Loop, this boat will interest you for several reasons. First, she’s economical….1.5 -2 gal/hour at 7-8 knots. New Westerbeke 7.5KW generator
Second, she’s very safe. When you run aground, (and you will !) the steel keel has a 1 inch shoe to protect you, plus the prop is enclosed in the deep draft of the center keel.
This is a ‘character boat’ inside and out. The Douglas fir interior has the craftsmanship of a master finish carpenter. Arched beams. Beautiful cabinets. Meanwhile the exterior signals Classic due to a sheer that comes out of working boats of 100 yrs ago.
So, she’s economical, safe, salty, and affordable. She was custom-built and completed in 2013 in Duluth MN, and then did the loop. For the past several yrs she has be cruising the Gulf and currently moored in Longboat Key near Sarasota. The owners are seriously considering another “liveaboard” and must sell the current boat to afford the next purchase. The original build cost was $330,000 (documented in Passage Maker), and available for half that cost. Great value for a reasonable price.

    Lovely craftsmanship, looks like a great Looper boat. Noticed that they used an Atlantic Towers tower-in-a-box arch to support the aft end of the hard bimini. Pretty clever. Looks like a similar sized Back Cove downeaster is docked next door. By comparison, that of the same vintage would sell for around $750K, so you're right, this one is a relative bargain.

    I was First LT on a WWII LST from 1959-61. When I saw the beautiful white paint--and especially the safety rails, I had a flashback to the hours of watching my crew chip and red lead and paint. The white is so nautical and beautiful, but what a project to keep a white steel hull and fittings un rusty. It's very unique and the interior is beautiful. I was looking for a ladder from the flybridge to the salon, but no. Not fun in weather. That said, if I were a cruiser-----------------yum.

    For the money, that is a good buy! One thing I didn't notice is whether it has A/C or not? One would think that would be important in a place like Florida. That said, this would be a great boat for the Pacific NW. Steel hulls are the thing to have if you're going to do the Inside Passage or the Puget Sound area where there are logs in the water, or in the case of the Inside Passage where I live, there are glaciers you can visit but there are small ice bergs in the water.

    Solid boat but kinda not what I was expecting for the interior. ICW cruiser made of steel? don't have to worry about hitting logs! I didn't see any blown closed cell foam in the engine space. I'd be wary of a steel boat of this age without proper interior hull insulation. Condensation will rust a beautiful looking steel boat from the inside out.

    A lot of boat for the money, usually when you purchase these boats, you need to spend $50+ on updating and maintenance to make it more safe and usable. If I had to guess you probably wouldn’t need to do that on this. Even a Carver 10 years older of the same size would be twice the price. Only negatives are only one engine, I don’t know anyone with two engines who hasn’t lost the use of one of them at some point. Maybe worth adding an outboard get-home. Also electronic instruments now 10 years old with heavy icw use and they won’t be cheap to replace probably in the region of $15 to $20 K if you have it done professionally, maybe less if you can keep the old radar.

    I didn't see any doors on any cabins, or the head unless there was a pocket door. That kinda limits it to a single, couple, or a couple with small children that don't need privacy. It's a nice boat for sure, but it has a lot of space that could be used better for occasional guests. I looked on the website and didn't see any bow thruster which would be great for a loop boat. I didn't see any info about draft, or air draft, or fuel and water tankage. The listing on the website is missing some important information. Since the owner previously did the Loop, at least we know it can make it through the shallow spots and low bridges.
