This 1985 DeFever 40 Offshore Cruiser is a fiberglass trawler built for extended cruising. Powered by twin Perkins diesel engines producing 480 horsepower, she cruises at 8–9 knots while consuming 3–4 gallons per hour, making her an efficient platform for long-range voyaging.
The boat accommodates two cabins and two heads, providing comfortable quarters for extended time away from shore. Interior layout and appointments reflect thoughtful cruising design typical of the DeFever brand.
Maintenance records spanning more than 25 years are on file. The boat has had four owners over its service life, and work performed has been documented throughout. The hull remains solid fiberglass in good condition.
