This 1974 DeFever 40 is a full-displacement trawler built on a fiberglass hull, powered by a single 130-hp Perkins diesel engine. The design reflects decades of practical cruising capability and straightforward seakeeping.
The interior arranges two cabins and two heads across a traditional layout. The forward cabin features a V-berth with its own head. The main salon sits amidships and includes galley space with full-size refrigerator and freezer. The aft cabin offers additional berths and an ensuite head with a separate shower. The cabin spaces are defined by woodwork and large windows that bring natural light throughout.
Deck areas are generous, with walk-around passage on both sides. The flybridge is covered by a bimini and equipped with seating. Three solar panels are mounted on the bimini structure. The open deck layout provides ample room for movement and outdoor use.
