Marine Trader Labelle

Up for auction we have my brothers Labelle 43 trawler . We are selling her as a project as she has been sitting unused for the last 2 years , what you see is what you get , the pictures you are looking at in the listing were taken this morning so this reflects exactly what the boat looks like at the moment . Everything you see in the pictures conveys with the boat . To give you a brief history of the boat it is as follows , We purchased the boat up in Maryland around 5 years ago , it was originally in Annapolis Maryland , around two and a half years ago we motored "Bounty" from Annapolis down the ICW , to Florida then across Lake Okeechobee and the up to Clearwater Florida where it has been ever since .It has been sitting pretty much unattended until recently . My brother had originally planned to restore her slowly but 2 years later it is still pretty much sitting untouched and I think the reality of having too many other projects more pressing has made him realize it is time to sell . As he is out of the country working I will handle all aspects of the sale including transfer of the Documentation after the sale is concluded , Bounty is able to remain in the same marina in Clearwater if required , however storage will become the responsibility of the new owner September 1 2014 . As you can see from the pictures the interior does need some clean up , there are some panels that are showing signs of water damage I would say near the windows which couls stand to be recaulked , again this is not terrible nor does it have to be done immediately either . The engines which are twin 6 cylinder Volvo Penta Turbo diesels which have not run in close to 2 years , I did have a mechanic take a look at them and he told me I was looking at $2500 which would bring them back to running condition which included replacing the starters and the Starboard side needs the injectors serviced , I do not know much more than that . I do not know the condition of the generator . This is a project boat and she has been priced accordingly , It is an awesome project for the right hands on person, would make a great liveaboard , you can own a $60,000 trawler for around 20% of the cheapest market price and there is a reason for that it needs TLC . Sorry to keep stating the obvious but people often expect a perfect boat and don't really pay attention to the listings . If you check on the Yachtworld website you will see listing form $65,000 all the way to $120,000 , this boat is obviously not that clean but it is not that bad either ! With all the above said please only bid or make an offer if you actually have the money to pay for it , We may consider partial trades but need to know what you have before and if you would like to trade then we would like to see a picture beforehand .I first choice would be to be paid all in cash but are open to offers . Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions and I will do my best to answer them
