1977 Roberts 30
About This Yacht
This 1977 Roberts 30 is a purpose-built work boat with a fiberglass hull measuring 27.75 feet in length and rated at 10 GRT. Powered by a Detroit 8.2-liter diesel engine producing 215 hp, the boat delivers the torque and reliability needed for demanding operations in coastal and offshore waters. The design reflects the sturdy construction typical of Roberts boats from that era, with a hull and structural integrity built to handle serious work.
The boat is rigged for purse seining and equipped with a cathead winch and a 30-gallon hydraulic power take-off system. Fuel capacity totals over 170 gallons across two aluminum fuel tanks, both recently refinished. A freshwater tank with 40-gallon capacity was also refinished. The blocks and lines are new, ready for active use.
The open deck provides substantial working space for handling gear and managing catch. Below deck, a simple cabin offers shelter and storage for longer periods on the water. The boat's straightforward layout prioritizes function and durability, reflecting its working heritage.
