1991 DeFever 44

This 1991 DeFever 44 is a fiberglass-hulled trawler measuring 44 feet in length with a 15-foot beam. Twin Caterpillar 3208 diesel engines, each producing 210 horsepower, provide propulsion. At the time of listing, one engine had logged 4,849 hours and the other 4,884 hours.

The accommodation plan includes two cabins and two heads, suitable for extended cruising. Key systems and equipment include Naiad stabilizers, twin Onan generators (15kW and 5kW), a water maker, 600-watt solar panels, a Kaiser inverter, 6-8D AGM batteries, electric windlass, Garmin multifunction displays, autopilot, and a washer/dryer. An Apex rigid inflatable tender with 30-horsepower Yamaha outboard and davit complete the inventory.

The bottom and hull received gel coat and paint work approximately one year prior to listing. The teak deck is in good condition. The fiberglass deck and gel coat show excessive crazing and cracking from sun exposure. The rubbing strake has areas of peeling paint, and toe rail at the gunnel exhibits peeling. One of the two generators will start but does not run reliably.
