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

[@MarcGoudreau]

I've watched several of your videos and this Trawler is definitely the best pick of the lot. A steel hulled craft this well built and cared for is rare for the price they're asking.

[@terrydouglas2777]

What a cute little bargain of a boat. Perfect for a older couple who is ready to live on the water and enjoy life.

[@chevy4x466]

The fly bridge is an accident waiting to happen. Especially for older crew

[@zedwpd]

@@chevy4x466 Not the entire fly bridge, just the ladder. Buying a boat for only $150k, you have some money left over to modify some stairs.

[@chevy4x466]

@@zedwpd simple concept. I have to admit, I never considered it. U r right, just make the stairs safer, u have a perfect boat

[@Michael-el7uc]

Bargain, you can buy a boat that is newer and better than this for 165K. No way in hell I would spend 160k and have to spend another 10k per year for the crap that is going to break on a 70 year old boat.

[@rodsalvage7121]

What a lovely boat. It has such a comfortable look and feel about it. It’s just asking for an appreciative owner.

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

This is exactly what I want in a couple of years. It’s absolutely perfect for my needs. This is a boat that you could operate for several years and sell for 90 % of what you paid. Extremely economical!

[@paulolson5956]

Wow! I saw this trawler out in Sarasota Bay, absolutely stunning.

[@tjm5492]

What a classic beauty. Perfect for a liveaboard or either version of The Loop. Vid was very nicely done...kudos.

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

Love this well built little trawler. I’m sure it’s sold by now.

[@geoeneas]

It would be a nice lil on water condo for weekend getaways. I'd love this for the Bahamas.

[@bos6782]

Great looking boat to do the Loop. Thx for the tour. Good price point.

[@TheSighphiguy]

"when you run aground,...and you will"! lol. i would LOVE this boat!

[@OldWon991]

It’s nice to see a well designed boat that’s easy to maintain but most importantly fit for purpose

[@roadboat9216]

Now that’s a nice one. Looks beautiful. And as all metal boats all fitting should be welded. Bolting the deck fittings on a metal boat is as oxymoron. That Perkins is an excellent engine. Will go easily for 15-25000 hrs treated well. I’ve had them do it!

[@youdontwanttoknow5203]

That's an awesome price - and for a steel hulled boat...WOW.

[@rickrave2373]

What is the price? How do I get in touch with the seller?.

[@the-chillian]

I'm in California looking for a liveabord, and this looks like such a great deal that I'm starting to think about the Panama Canal...

[@jackstephens1450]

$2000.00 bucks or close...

[@brucenewman6577]

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.

[@johnmagill7714]

LT you surely would have to work on it constantly. But what a joy of a job to do.

[@rickphillips7257]

The paint issue is to be thought over for sure ! I think a good Epoxy based (white) primer and an Epoxy based glossy WHITE paint with Blue and Red accent stripes on everything !

[@rodsalvage7121]

Also a first class commentary and filming.

[@jamesjohnson8345]

Such a nice boat, and the price is stunning. But, I think it might only be for really seasoned sailors. One small engine, 40 feet long, no thrusters to help you maneuver. I am not complaining, mind you, I just think it might not be a great choice for a newby. But for someone that knows the ropes, it is a beauty.

[@waderogers]

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.

[@cartouchator]

That is literally my dream boat...

[@svechappe6075]

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.

[@charlievandevord6613]

did I miss something, whats the draft and how much fuel does she carry?

[@billherman7294]

Stunning liveaboard

[@marycollins1631]

[@tvormwald]

I wish I could afford this trawler... looks like a beautiful ship!

[@rpaasse6453]

No, she's ugly. The flybridge is totaly wrong for the line of the ship. That said, sometimes ugly is beauty, and for this money this ship is gorgeous.

[@tonyrhoton6613]

Wanna go half on it i keep it 11 months u get 1

[@mrtelechi]

Probably one of my favorites. Love it, great review.

[@genefogarty5395]

If I actually travelled, I'd love that beast. I got lucky and found a 46' Silverton aft cabin for a song and for summers on the lake, it's awesome. Definitely not in the caliber of this vessel. But she's a good home on the water. I grew up on the salt and all I miss is the smell, lol!!

[@TheNielskau]

One thing though - shame about the cabin layout. It really is a couples boat since the spare beds/bunks can’t be closed off from the galley.

[@Freesavh1776]

I absolutely love the trawler and tug look. Especially if you can get ahold of a good conversersion of 1. They just feel much more secure in many ways. The only thing I don't care about is the color on the hull.

[@mauricelevor213]

Retired and have a lil money would love a houseboat even if it never left the slip

[@CPcamaro]

Great looking boat, looks like a classic but modern buiilt.

[@davidhowell6600]

Wow, what a beautiful craft!!

[@robertfreeman2322]

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.

[@Davidcallard]

Good point. I wonder if running a dehumidifier or two 24/7 down below would help?

[@JohnEBurns]

AGAIN is this Boat been Sold & Still For Sale. Really do want to know please? Soonest as Possiblest, Thx

[@joshreagan1487]

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.

[@terrydouglas2777]

Thank you for letting us see this cute boat. I would love to wake up each morning and see the sun coming up with a cup of strong black coffee iny hand and a fishing pole in my other hand. One day i hope i don't have to use my wheelchair and get my legs back so i can walk. This is keeping me from getting a home on the water. When I do tho, the fish better hide and they will be trembling when they hear my name. I was once called a fish magnet because I out fished everyone else that went fishing with us 95% of the time. Yes it can be sad for others to catch small perch size of a child's hand, then i catch catfish over 3 foot or bigger than 36 inch fish. Tip for keeping live bait fresh and alive, we used the inside metal tubs from a washing machine from a laundry mat because those huge tubs have thick walls with round holes and we weld a metal lid on top with a good thick door that can be locked by a big brass padlock. Plus we welded on eye hooks so we could secure it to dock or tree. We never lost it, not even during the floods we had. The bigger the tub the more fish it can hold. Im not sure what salt water will do to those metal tubs in salt water tho. But they do great job in fresh water.

Myself Love the vessel am well learned on a single screw vessel, but I think for many would be a tough buy.

[@Finnmarken91]

I love fishing trawlers, most likely these or a nordic tug are what I would go with. Nothing fancy but can still be a nice outing yacht and workhorse when needed. This one regardless of price is quite unique. Colors seem quite dated and more set in 70s-80s style. Took me twice to realize she was built in 2013! Also for that price the engines better have low hours and the hull better be in great shape. Alot of abuse can happen from 10 years. Would definitely look for better values out there than this one. Plus I live in the Great Lakes so most likely this hasn't seen fresh water.

[@bertharris9748]

[@jameshamilton6096]

[@brokerhc]

Great looking small trawler. It is a pity is only single engine and there is no room to make it twin engine and add more tankage.

[@wilsonevans6760]

The worlds Commerical fishing fleet is for the most part powered by a single engine, fear not my friend, one motor will get you there and back..

[@kenmcclow8963]

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.

[@keithmyers1454]

Be warned. When steel boats get older they get difficult to insure. Even if you can insure it, the insurer may be notoriously known to not compensate for loss. Harbors require proof of liability insurance by a reputable company, usually in excess of 1 million. Fire is the lesser concern for a steel boat but sinking in harbor is a financial environmental nightmare when fuel escapes. A bad electrolysis condition (harbor or boat fault) can eat through a metal hull in months. A simple clamp amp meter, clamping around a connected shore power cable should should show zero current, which means no obvious path through the water. This is the most common but not the only way corrosion is damaging a boat.
