1971 Commercial Butterfish Fishing Trawler

This 1971 fiberglass-hulled Butterfish trawler is a working commercial fishing boat with a single-screw configuration, raked bow, and square stern. Powered by a 350-horsepower Caterpillar diesel engine, she cruises at 10 knots and is fitted with conventional shaft drive and proper ventilation throughout the engine room. The hull above the waterline is in sound condition with no visible damage.

The boat has been professionally overhauled and maintained in above-average condition. The engine was rebuilt in 2021, and all tanks have been serviced. The exhaust system is well-secured and shows no deterioration. Navigation and communication equipment includes Furuno 36-mile radar, IC M59 VHF radio, Sea222 single sideband radio, Furuno GP 36 GPS, 4-inch Danforth compass, and a Wood Freeman 500 autopilot. Engine instruments, clutch throttle controls, and AC/DC control panels are fitted, along with a bilge alarm and water depth indicator.

Accommodation consists of two staterooms, each with wooden built-in bunks and fluorescent lighting, positioned port and starboard of a centerline companionway. A single head with sink, toilet, and shower serves the crew quarters. An electric water heater supplies hot water throughout.

The fishing capability centers on four ice hold compartments accessible from the main deck, with capacity for up to 60,000 pounds of catch.
