1985 Custom Cape Island Trawler 43

This 43-foot fiberglass trawler was originally built as a fishing vessel and underwent extensive restoration in 1984–1985. The work included a complete hull and deck refit with multiple layers of fiberglass, a new 212-horsepower Detroit Diesel engine, and numerous structural and mechanical upgrades throughout. The restoration was executed with careful attention to detail and quality.

The boat features classic Cape Island design with substantial teak trim both on deck and in the interior. A single head serves the accommodation spaces, and the layout is organized for comfortable extended cruising. The hull measures 43 feet in length with a 14-foot beam, providing solid seakeeping ability for the boat's intended role.

Powered by a single 2-stroke Detroit Diesel engine, the yacht cruises at 10 knots and is well-suited for long-distance voyaging. The combination of traditional hull lines, robust construction, and purposeful accommodations makes this a distinctive boat with its own character and history.
