1983 Marine Trader Double Cabin 40

This 1983 Marine Trader Double Cabin 40 is a fiberglass trawler built for extended cruising, with a single 120-horsepower Ford Lehman diesel engine that delivers a cruising speed of 7 knots and a maximum speed of 10 knots. The 40-foot hull with a 13.5-foot beam provides a solid platform for long-distance voyaging.

The boat accommodates two private cabins and two heads, with a well-appointed galley for meal preparation. The flybridge features a large Bimini top for weather protection, comfortable helm chairs with recently upholstered cushions, and helm controls. An aft sundeck is covered by a custom aluminum frame with solar panels that charge the 12-volt battery system.

Maintenance improvements include removal of the original teak decks, which were filled and painted to simplify upkeep. A custom solar array mounted on aluminum framing provides supplemental power to ship systems. The interior is reported to be dry throughout.
