1980 Hershine Trawler

A 1980 Hershine 41 trawler built to an Ed Monk Jr. design, powered by a single Ford Leyman 120 hp diesel engine. The hull is fiberglass with a distinctive flared bow and forward deep V entry designed to deliver a smooth, dry ride through rough seas. Wide walk-around decks provide safe passage, and the boat cruises efficiently at 8.5 knots with a top speed of 10 knots.

The interior arranges three cabins around a spacious salon with sliding glass doors to the deck on both port and starboard. The aft cabin features a private walk-around layout and double berth; the forward cabin offers a V-berth. Two heads serve the accommodations, one with a tub and shower. The galley is positioned below, with both lower and upper helm stations for navigation. A large flybridge extends the entertaining and relaxation space.

The single diesel engine simplifies maintenance while reducing operational noise and vibration, and the hull design delivers fuel efficiency suited to extended cruising. This trawler was purpose-built for extended time away from home, whether weekend island trips or extended cruising.
