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

I love touring unique boats this is probably probably going to be most people's favorite part of the boat just absolutely beautiful what's up guys today I'm excited to bring you a tour of a very unique custom steel trawler that's in excellent condition and is shockingly Affordable for what it is be sure to like And subscribe if you haven't already that's the best way to support this Channel and it's totally free so thank you in advance and without further Ado let's get to the tour [Music] thank you all right guys I just went ahead and stepped the board but we're gonna go we're gonna go forward first so turning forward we've got a couple steps right here on the side decks we're going up to the bow nice big bow on this boat two big Samson posts that are welded into the deck there it looks like all of the handrails and everything are all welded onto onto the boat so that's great no deck Hardware to really worry about on that so less likely for things to leak no through bolts that's awesome big horizontal windlass on the front here plow type anchor on the front there looking aft just a really unique looking character boat I love these types of boats guys you know that I love touring unique boats so lots of space on the four deck here I like that a lot you've got some hatches that are below the canvas right there another Big Deck hatch right there but just tons of space for solar potentially if you want it like I'd put tons of solar right there that'd be awesome but really nice and it's nice and safe up here with these big steel hand rails that are about about hip height for me so they're pretty high I would probably add another couple intermediate lifelines for the kids but still pretty nice and going aft so we've got one of the two entrances to the pilot house right here but we're going to go ahead and continue aft and again nice safe side decks here there's no way you're falling out we've got steel handrails all around the boat everything on this boat is steel walk into the AFT section here got his dinghy that's been hoisted up onto the transom there is a davit a single davit right there and then a place for you to store lines and stuff back here now if you wanted to get up to the fly bridge you've got to climb this ladder right here and that's what we're going to do right now the ladder is pretty steep but it it's nice and safe got good hand holds going up so not too bad and then once you get up here this is probably probably going to be most people's favorite part of the boat look at how protected this area is while still being open you know on the sides to the weather got a nice hard Bimini above it plenty of places to sit while you're up here and then the Helm station up in the fly bridge so in good weather weather like today I can guarantee you you're going to want to be out here steering from this home position right here you've got your engine controls and your chart plotter up here along with two seats for two individuals got a little bit of storage right here for various things and access panels looking aft again just a really really nice place spend your time in good weather that's what I like about these trawlers they've got multiple places to be at the helm usually depending on the weather as you guys can see there's going to be a protected interior Helm station in the pilot house as well and then this is how you get down so you're going to want to go backwards grab onto these to be able to safely get down because it is a little steep and you don't want to go whoop but if you're The Adventurous type you can actually just run right off this dive into the water pretty easily taking a look at the top of the our Dodger up here again another really good opportunity to add tons of solar to this boat and then you've got a radar up here as well I also like this aft deck right here up on the fly bridge this would be a really good place you know to maybe throw a fishing line off the back while you're underway all right let's go ahead and go down and then we're going to continue around to the port side of the boat we came we came from over there from the starboard side we're going to continue walking all the way around so you know you can walk all the way around the cabin on this boat because we started right there and then we've got another door that goes into the the pilot house right there so there's two ways into into the Pilot House slash salon let's go ahead and do that oh yeah just absolutely beautiful I you know I don't think you'd expect looking at the outside of the boat the boat's really unique but I don't know that you'd expect how nice this interior is especially the woodwork is all done really really well so yeah I mean this boat's kind of a sleeper like this is beautiful down here like I said it's definitely unique on the outside but I think if you judge this boat by its cover you'd be very surprised when you stepped inside this pilot house now let's first start right here so this is the interior Helm position right here you've got large reverse angled windows for better visibility underway at night and everything looking forward and then almost 360 degree views you can't quite see directly behind you but you can pretty much see all around and if you really needed to you can poke your head out and look behind you like that so not too bad and then you've got obviously you know the protection of everything around so in bad weather cold weather rainy weather what have you you're going to want to Pilot the boat from right here and you've got everything you need to do that so you've got your bow thrusters you got your chart plotter autopilot all of that right here really nice so we're gonna go ahead and go forward first and when we go forward directly to the port of the helm station and down is the galley so that's really nice you know the galley it is lower than the rest of the salon but it is kind of in the same space you're not really separated from everyone else when you're down here making food which is always good and this is a pretty well appointed galley you know you've got your stove stove top right there microwave household size sink right there plenty of storage all around big old norcold fridge slash freezer plenty of space for Cold Storage and then your main distribution panel you know right forward of that home station right there really nice everything's in really good shape the woodwork looks awesome and then forward of the galley we have the v-birth but there's also two single bunks up here so it looks like you could potentially convert this into a double berth down here and then there's just an extra single bunk up there so you've got options which is nice I like that a lot storage down below and then you guys saw it's covered on Deck but there is a hatch for ventilation and light as well so really good kids guests that kind of thing and a nicely well appointed galley that's not too far from the the main section of the boat and it's right next to the interior Helm station now turn it aft we've got another chair right here so this can be used as the helm seat or just a nav chair right here almost a little countertop bar area with a TV down below nice big opening window right there these really nice looking wooden beams over the top and then your main seti your main dining table with tons of room this is very spacious right here you got storage down below and then your engine is going to be down below all that and we'll take a look at that in a little bit and then going aft is going to be our main cabin and the single head on the boat and I'm gonna go to the cabin first but this is a really really good sized cabin it looks like that's probably a queen size bed right there with cabinets and storage on the side there so just a really cozy cozy cabin on this boat beams continuing into the cabin and then the main head is going to be this big old section here we've got more storage right here closed storage so all your closed storage is going to be right there for the main cabin and then more storage in the head but we've got a nice big full head here I mean this this feels like it's about as big as a standard bathroom on shore and it's got a separate shower right here so really nice lots of storage all around a great boat for what it was built for it was built for the Great Loop so just a beautiful boat for a couple or a small family to travel the Great Loop and travel via the inland waterways so I like it I like it a lot so I just went ahead and moved the rug out of the way and engine access is going to be right here it's going to be a single diesel right here really simple and then you've got a generator down there as well so it looks like a single Perkins diesel and a Wester beak and Wester big generator you've got your tank Edge down here so really good engine access nice engine room you can get down in here and access everything very nice very simple very easy to work on very easy to keep running all right guys it's time for the full continuous bladex walkthrough from bow to stern [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] foreign
