Looking for a trawler to buy, something like a Defever 49 RPH. Budget limit is $400k. Prefer southeast U.S. or U.S. Gulf Coast. Searching the usual forums and Yachtworld. Got a broker on the job as well. Give me a shout if you run across something that may fit the bill.

Supposedly the tank will hold 500 gallons. I've yet to run it to empty, so I can't swear that it does. Wouldn't surprise me if the range exceeded 900 miles. I'll find out this winter (if she doesn't sale) when I take off for the Bahamas.

Just a bump. Still for sale.

Slip Rates That's interesting. It is likely my boat that you looked at in Stuart. When we purchased the boat in Stuart the marina was very accommodating, charging us only as a 44' vessel, even went as far as to pro-rate our week to week stay using the monthly per foot rate. We have yet to be...

Will Trade I suppose it is worth noting that I will take a 44'-54', 1985 or newer, convertible or sport fishing boat in trade.

Baker, in calm conditions our TrawlerCat WILL get on a "plane". It can take a while, but it will do it. Between around 2,000 rpm and full throttle, the speed gain vs fuel burn just doesn't seem to be worth the trouble to me. I just run at 1,800-1,900 except for the occasional full throttle...

Cruise Performance Cruise speed at roughly 60% power is 7 knots. I've had her make 16 knots in relatively calm conditions. Fuel burn is between 2-3 gallons per hour. We recently cruised from Stuart, FL to Key Largo, then turned around and went north to Brunswick, GA, then back south to St...

Pictures will have to wait until we get her out of the yard. Only thing I have thus far is one shot my wife took during the survey haul out. Besides, these Trawlercats aren't much to look at, a profile only a mother could love (or perhaps in this case the original designer). Seems like...

Boat is in the yard for new shaft seals, shaft alignment, and a new cutlass bearing. No sense putting it off. Gonna have the new name put on as well, going with "Aint Bad" for now.

Any qualified training captains available for on my boat training in Stuart, Florida? Need instruction covering all aspects of boating. Vessel is an Endeavour Trawlercat 44.

While doing the sea trials the surveyor told me that the shaft seal needs to be replaced and that the engine may be out of alignment. The port shaft seal is slinging water. How the surveyor determined that the port main may be out of alignment I don't know.

The admiral and I are excited about closing on our first vessel, an Endeavour TrawlerCat 44, but now we are starting to realize the logistical challenges we face in taking delivery and getting started cruising. The sea trials revealed a port main that is slightly out of alignment. Is this...

Anyone have any experience with Trader Motor Yachts built in Southampton UK?

Thanks for the suggestions for surveyors in the Mobile area. For now we are having to look at different vessels for reasons unrelated to any survey.

I need to get a survey done in the Mobile, AL area. I would prefer someone with as much knowledge of power catamarans and/or Yanmar engines as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks

Lucky for you I can't delete the entire thread. I'll just unsubscribe and let y'all play. I've discovered that I can get more focused information elsewhere. Enjoy

Anyone have any experience with static fins on a trawler? Are they effective? Do they jeopardize hull integrity? What kind of impact do they have on drag/fuel economy/speed? Do they cause problems when hauling?

What are the most hours you have seen on a Yanmar 4LHA-STP engine?

Saw a KK42 here in Texas Wednesday. A bit rough. Blistering along the sides from the rub-rail down, broken windows, . . . Just didn't appear to be loved at all. Also got a chance to see a DeFever 44. Not the most perfect or cleanest, but the engine room gave the appearance of an owner that...

We're toying with the idea of floating Stout back to the Gulf Coast. I'm not afraid of doing things others say are unwise, like setting out in a boat from California intending to go through the Canal and onward to the Gulf of Mexico without any previous "big boat" experience. I do, however...

I know, I know. Which boat do I want? We decided upon getting either a Kadey Krogen 42 OR a DeFever 44. I just felt like being very specific would be better than posting a general trawler wanted request. We would like to find a stabilized DeFever 44. No damaged boats please. There are a...

Sit back and watch the "Well, which one do you want?" posts happen as I post our desire to purchase a DeFever 44. Felt like searching for specific boats would be better than the typical trawler wanted post.

Sunchaser, Do you recall the expense of shipping the KK42 cross-country? Was it done via land or water? How long did it take?
