2003 Magna Marine Nova Scotia 47

A 2003 Magna Marine Nova Scotia 47 trawler built from fiberglass, powered by a single 480-horsepower Cummins diesel engine. The design prioritizes comfortable extended cruising, featuring true walkaround decks, a flybridge, and an unusually spacious stand-up engine room that makes maintenance and system access straightforward—a significant advantage over comparable vessels where work often requires tight access or awkward positioning.

The interior layout reflects liveaboard practicality: an enclosed pilothouse, heated and air-conditioned pantry with walk-in closet space, generous refrigeration with both large units and an additional chest freezer, and exceptional storage throughout. A Dockmate wireless remote docking system allows single-handed maneuvering from deck or cabin. The flybridge provides both visibility and entertaining space, while multiple air-conditioning systems—including a dedicated 12-volt pilothouse unit capable of running without generator power—support all-weather comfort.

The yacht carries comprehensive cruising systems: a rebuilt Sea Recovery watermaker with new membranes, 765-watt solar charging array, complete Victron power management with Cerbo GX integration, and a 2022 carbon battery bank. The 17-kilowatt Onan generator includes automatic start capability. Onboard equipment includes Wesmar stabilizers, dual bow and stern thrusters, Garmin navigation and autopilot, dual helm stations, washer and dryer, and a Highfield CL310 tender with 20-horsepower Tohatsu outboard. A fuel polishing system and Reverso oil change system support self-sufficient operation.

Approximately three years ago, the hull received a complete professional Awlgrip paint application. Recent upgrades include the Victron modernization, watermaker rebuild, SmartSolar MPPT installation, Boateye 360 night-vision camera, automatic transfer switching, generator auto-start, custom Sunbrella enclosure, new Bimini top, and refurbished helm seating. The yacht comes with extensive maintenance records, technical documentation, service manuals, upgrade histories, and an accumulated inventory of spare parts useful for cruising.
