1989 Custom Steel Hull Trawler

For Sale

Grayling is a 47 ft steel raised pilot house trawler.  She was designed as a honest cruising boat to be operated by a couple under almost any condition.  She is fully live aboard and equally able at sea or at anchor.  Her short mast is on a tabernacle and can clear less than 15 feet making it the perfect looper.

Grayling is powered by a single Cummins 4BT 3.9 150hp turbo charged with fuel consumption of 2.2 GPH at 8 kts.  Her hull is very efficient with a performace of better than 4 miles per gallon.  Her 680 gal fuel tanks provide a range of 2800 miles-handy for selective fuel stops.  Hydraulic steering by Hynautics, a large rudder and a Vetus electric bow thruster make close manuvering easy without the expense of twin engines.

Her hull construction is 1/4 steel below waterline, 3/16 in. above, longitudinally framed with transverse frames every 31 ins.  The pilot house is steel below window line and fiberglassed wood above.  The main cabin is steel with a fiberglass ceiling.
