Marine Trader 40 double cabin

This boat has been hauled and on dry land for several years.

First the good. Updated 135hp Ford Lehman diesel. Iron fuel tanks have been replaced with aluminum tanks. New electric stove/oven. Electric windlass, all chain rode, Spade Oceanic anchor. Dual central air conditioning units, Ice maker, freezer, On an 7.5kw diesel generator

Now the bad. There a a few leaks in the aft cabin. I have started repairs. Carpentry skills necessary to finish. Needs new bimini top. Strake rails need to be replaced - this is a skilled job & would need someone with carpentry skills.

Teak needs to be refinished.

This boat requires a fair amount of work. If you do not have carpentry skills this is NOT the boat for you.

We have cruised this boat extensively. It is an extremely comfortable, seaworthy boat.

I will take a full or partial trade for anything that interests me - motorcycle trike or sidecar outfit, street rod project, sports car, etc. Tell me what you have and we'll talk.

Boat is located in south coastal Georgia. It is at a diy boatyard that will allow you to stay on your boat while you are working on it. There is a small woodworking shop that you can use also.
