Full keel, shoal draft 3'2".

Fold-down fiberglass mast perfect for the Great Loop or other routes where bridges are impediments. The Schucker 430, 436, and 437 have identical hulls, but different layouts.

The Schucker 430 has a good sized cockpit and wide walkarounds for easy access to the foredeck. The pilothouse has doors on the port and starboard side, plus the aft door into the cockpit. Overall, the exterior appears very well kept.
A feature of the head is that it is fresh water flush which eliminates many of the issues caused by a salt water flush.

Broker's Comments

Note, This boat has just come from the boat yard with new zincs, bottom paint, mast washed and waxed! August 2017

This Schucker 430 Motorsailer is a very versatile craft. It is well-equipped with modern systems. The large pilot house offers good light and visibility from the windows all around. Port and starboard side doors to the walkaround decks make for easy docking and line handling. Down below is the inviting, colorful galley with custom sinks, propane cook stove, microwave, two refrigerators and toaster oven with miles of counter space with ample storage in cupboards and many drawers. What a comfortable live-aboard. Enclosed shower, four heat sources, a serious double bed contribute to a traveling home on the water. Why pay expensive Seattle rent when you can own this boat and live on the water?
