2020 SeaPiper 35

This 2020 SeaPiper 35 is a full-displacement cruising trawler built for serious coastal and long-range work. Powered by an 85 HP Beta Marine diesel with roughly 124–130 hours on the engine, she cruises efficiently at 7 knots and reaches 9.1 knots at full throttle. The fiberglass hull features a full keel, protected rudder, and skegged propeller—design elements that prioritize reliability and gear protection over speed. What sets this boat apart is her substantial equipment package: a Seakeeper 2 gyro stabilizer, Vetus bow thruster and hydraulic steering, Garmin TS integrated electronics with 48-mile radar, and a Wallas diesel furnace for cold-weather operation.

The layout separates living spaces across distinct zones: a forward trunk cabin with V-berth, raised pilothouse helm, open midship cockpit, and aft cabin. The pilothouse provides all-weather operation with excellent visibility and houses the Garmin system, engine controls, and bow thruster panel. Accommodations include a two-burner LPG galley with refrigerator, freezer, and 900-watt microwave. The 100-gallon freshwater tank and 35-gallon holding tank support extended cruising, as does the 270-gallon diesel capacity split across two tanks. On deck, a full walkaround design with stainless steel rails, four deck boxes, and swim step access supports practical seamanship.

Systems throughout reflect upgrades and attention to offshore operation. The electrical plant runs 12V DC and 120V AC with Lifeline house batteries, an Optima start battery, two solar panels, and a new Honda 30-amp generator for off-grid capability. A Maxwell 12V windlass handles 200 feet of galvanized chain and 200 feet of rope rode attached to a plow anchor. The engine mounts a Twin Disc TM-93 transmission with 2.7:1 reduction, dripless shaft seal, and a spare 22-inch bronze propeller included.

The boat comes equipped with extensive spare parts—alternator, starter, zincs, fuel filters, complete toolbox, and a 20-ton hydraulic jack—plus a 9-foot Avalon dinghy with Honda 2.3 outboard and an 8.5-foot-wide gooseneck trailer. This combination of stabilization, protection, range, and redundancy creates a vessel suited to practical, independent cruising rather than marina-based operation.
