Broker's Comments

There are several reasons why a 1979 trawler has significant appeal in today's market -- and the primary reason is that a boat of this size, equipped like this lovely example would cost more than $350,000 if purchased new today. This North Sea 38 Tri-Cabin Trawler is as nice a boat as you could hope to find in this price range. The owner has had a career in the marine industry and has constantly upgraded, maintained, restored, modernized and made this beautiful boat as comfortable and lovely as many new boats. I was most impressed with how new or new-appearing almost everything is, and the evident fastidious maintenance the boat has received. The 1.7 GPH (at 7 knots) fuel consumption is a huge plus with today's fuel costs and makes her a thrifty boat to operate. Easy to handle too, with her Vetus bow thruster! Overall this is a gorgeous boat with no apparent deferred maintenance. Just load your groceries and cast off the lines.
