2013 Custom 44 Trawler
"Forward"
Custom 44' Trawler
“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.
Second, she’s very safe. When you run aground, (and you will !) the steel keel has a 1 in.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 PassageMaker), and available for half that cost. Great value for a reasonable price.
