- Here's a walkthrough of an older 38 Marine Trader that has a lot of water left to run under her hull. Powered by a Ford Diesel. For sale in Southwest Florida let me know if you're interested and I will pass the owners information on to you.

I bought our 1976 Marine Trader 40’ aft cabin back in July. For $8,000. The 120 Leman runs great looks great. In fact, paid for the boat, started it up and drove twelve miles home. No problem.
Here in Florida slip rents and insurance rates and yard fees are so high people are dumping these old trawlers.
Nice those deals are out there if you wait them out.
@@CharlotteHarborFisherman Not now days. There are three trawlers all 34’ between 10k and 2k right now. Rents can be more than the value of the boat. Plus, offer cash today. Force them to make up their mind.
?
With insurance prices, dock prices, yard prices. It’s all lower used boat prices here in Florida.
Ship them to Barbados, auction 2 and see the profit.
l am a Ocean going Captain i
think this Boat worth $25k
USDollar.Not a penny more.
Def a liveaboard. She needs some "LOVE" but the repairs done makes it interesting. Perfect bachelor pad material.
Priced way high for what it is.
You said no water intrusion but I noticed definite leakage around both port lights in the master. Today the boat isn't worth the asking price, but still seems a good value at about 30 K.
It might have water damage I Don't know.
Nice live aboard boat! Could use some updating but looks sound! I don’t hear of them powered by Ford much! That’s cool!
Yes these are cool boats
there are more lehman fords out there than you can shake a stick at
I like the Sea Alice, can you get información
That old Ford will run forever
yep low and slow
At 5:30 water inside from the rain
You don't have to look hard to find leaking windows in an old trawler 👍
I wonder if that old ford motor had a turbo or if it could handle a small one? Hit me back
Nice it's on dry dock. No Lea damage and fans are going to dry out afterwards
Bring it to Memphis and I,ll live on it at the marina
If I was quoted $15K for Bimini and other covers , I reckon I'd be heading to you tube to learn how to do it myself!!!!! Even if you fork out a grand for equipment you'd still be way ahead......and you may have even started a new business!!!!!!!!!
I thought the same thing and tried to get into the bussiness but it's not easy. I would just hook up a sun shade and call it a day.
You can weld an aluminum cabin cheaper that cloth, plastic and zippers.
The company is called “sailrite” and I bought one of their machines, the LZ1 was $1500
He ment $1,500. Nobody would pay $15,000. for 12' of canvas. 😂
Nice boat when you said creek did you mean alligator creek? Fix that boat up and take her out the pass into the gulf when I'm in PG I do some of my fishing around devil fish key and the old phosphate docks at the pass any good suggestions for some other spots? Liking your videos!!
Is this boat still available?
Yes I believe so. Check out my other channel for the most recent tour. Harbor Pilot yacht tours
No es el sueño del caribe; sino la pesadilla del caribe.
probably true
@@CharlotteHarborFisherman gracias; es un comentario jocoso; ojalá por estos lados deprimidos del mundo tuviéramos al menos un bote así. Saludo cordial
@@karenss7563 seguro que teneis otras cosas que no tienen en FL, no todo es dinero en esta vida
55K? Never ever!
Needs work but so much possibility
Be very very careful with these Taiwanese vessels. They used a lot of hardwood which does not age well in heat and high humidity. Before you invest a dime check the humidity of all the wood in between the fiberglass. If I lived in the Great Lakes I would definitely consider one of these. In the south absolutely no. Your boat will rot out from under you.
Is Balsa wood a hard wood? Thought that was what they used I heard it was like cork and prone to do just what you described.
I think I answered this already. But in case... Yes Balsa is a very light clear wood and was used by most high end builders as fiberglass adheres to it well. However, today, foam is much better, as it is stronger, more flexible, and bonds to fiberglass as good or better than balsa. Hard woods for the framing, such as oak, teak, and mahogany, tend to hold moisture and have too much oil to adhere to fiberglass over time and heat. They will rot if left in heat and high humidity. The rotting is the old boat smell you often encounter in vessels. For the right price, I'd buy one of the vessels if I lived on the Great Lakes, but not for the deep south.@@CharlotteHarborFisherman
Their problems are very well known. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one, just make sure you do your homework and know what you're getting.
Cool boat, buy a great home for 50,000 and you can move, if you don’t like your neighbors lol
yep or live off the hook with no neighbors but the fishes
@@CharlotteHarborFisherman luv it
Nice looking, right price.
