Proven Power – The Reliable Ford Lehman 120

At the heart of this trawler is the dependable Ford Lehman 120 diesel engine, known for its longevity and reliability.

Classic Charm with Modern Comforts – Interior and Salon Upgrades

Step into the cozy and inviting salon, which has recently undergone a thoughtful renovation. Two new recliners now replace the old seating, providing an ideal vantage point to enjoy panoramic views of your surroundings, whether you’re anchored in a quiet cove or navigating through bustling harbors. This seating arrangement not only enhances comfort but also reflects the practical living space this trawler provides, blending function with leisure in an inviting manner.

 Navigation and Electronics

 Equipped with a Garmin Vesper Cortex AIS VHF GPS system, navigation is no longer confined to traditional chart plotters. The system allows you to use your iPad or similar devices for navigation, meaning you can plot your course, monitor nearby vessels, and manage communications with ease. With the right ports already in place, upgrading to modern plotters and electronic navigation aids is a breeze if you choose to add more advanced tech.

Her radar is fully functional, ensuring safety and visibility in all weather conditions, while the ComNav autopilot makes long passages a pleasure by allowing you to relax as she holds her course effortlessly. The antenna, replaced in summer 2023, guarantees clear signals, so you’re always in touch.

Prepared for Anything – Spare Parts and Smart Systems

One of the marks of a truly dependable boat is the thoughtfulness of preparation. This trawler comes with a fair amount of spare parts, including a starter, impellers, filters, and more. It’s a reassuring touch that ensures you have peace of mind, knowing you’re ready for any maintenance need that may arise along the way.

Her fuel system is designed for simplicity and reliability with twin fuel filters and a single valve to switch between them. Should a filter ever clog, switching over is effortless and ensures the engine continues to run smoothly, a thoughtful design detail for those serious about long-term cruising.

Creature Comforts – Heat, Power, and Galley Amenities

Life on board this trawler is designed to be comfortable, whether you’re out for a weekend or embarking on a longer journey. The boat features forced air diesel heating, ensuring warmth throughout the cabins during colder months. For those moments when you’re tied to the dock, a 120-volt heater in the salon keeps things cozy, so you’ll always be comfortable, no matter the weather.

The onboard 2000-watt DC to AC inverter allows for modern conveniences even while away from shore power.
