Gulfstar Trawler

FOR AUCTION / SALE WE HAVE A 1978 GULFSTAR 44 TRAWLER .

THESE TRAWLERS HAVE MADE GREAT CRUISERS AND LIVEABOARDS FOR PEOPLE WITH AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF ROOM .

AS YOU CAN SEE SHE IS IN REASONABLE CONDITION OVERALL AND WILL MAKE SOMEONE A GREAT PROJECT BOAT . WE ARE SELLING HER AS A PROJECT AS SHE NEEDS A REPLACEMENT ENGINE , IT CANNOT BE FIXED, IT IS MISSING , ( ONE ENGINE IS IN THE BOAT AND ONE IS MISSING ) , IT WAS SOLD BY THE LAST OWNER WHO IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING NEEDED REPAIRWORK DONE TO IT AND THEN COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT .

I HAVE LOCATED A REPLACEMENT RUNNING ENGINE FOR $5000 COMPLETE WITH TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A DROP IN UNIT WITH 1100 HOURS WITH THE CORRECT TRANSMISSION . I CAN HAVE IT INSTALLED BY A MECHANIC AT YOUR EXPENSE , YOU ARE LOOKING AT AROUND $1000 IN LABOR TO INSTALL 1 ENGINE , HOWEVER IF YOU ARE FROM OUT OF STATE AND WANT IT DONE I CAN HELP ORGANISE IT . THE PORT ENGINE HAS APPROX 2200 HOURS . I AM ACTUALLY ABLE TO BUY 2 ENGINES BOTH PORT AND STARBOARD FOR AROUND $9000 BOTH HAVING JUST OVER 1000 HOURS ON THEM AND THEY CAN BE TESTED FIRST IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO REPOWER COMPLETELY WITH LOW HOUR ENGINES .

I AM NOT SURE OF THE CONDITION OF THE GENERATOR , I DID CRANK IT OVER TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT LOCKED UP BUT THAT IS AS FAR AS WE WENT .

THE BOAT WAS LIENED FOR NON PAYMENT OF STORAGE AND IS NOW SITTING IN MY MARINA , YOU WILL GET A CLEAR MARYLAND TITLE READY TO TRANSFER TO THE NEW OWNER . YOU CAN LEAVE IT HERE FOR $300 A MONTH IF NEED BE .

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THE BOAT IS OVERALL IN DECENT SHAPE , BELOW THE WATERLINE SHE IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NO BLISTERS AS SHE HAD AN $18000 BOTTOM JOB DONE BY OSMOTEC IN HERRINGTON HARBOR WHERE THEY PEEL BACK A LAYER OF FIBERGLASS AND ESSENTIALLY REFIBERGLASS THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT . SHE HAS BEEN DRY STORED ON LAND AND ONLY LAUNCHED AROUND A MONTH AGO SO THE BOTTOM IS STILL CLEAN .

ABOVE THE WATERLINE SHE IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND SHOWS WELL , HER DECKS ALL APPEAR TO BE SOLID UNDERFOOT .

UP ON THE FLYBRIDGE SHE HAS NEWER CLEAN SUNBRELLA CUSHIONS AND A FULL ENCLOSURE AGAIN ALL IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION .

THERE ARE SOME ELECTRONICS INCLUDED WITH THE BOAT , I BELIEVE THERE IS A VHF RADIO , GPS , THERE IS ALSO THE FACTORY ARCH AND A CRANE FOR A DINGHY .

AS YOU ENTER YOU WILL NOTICE WE CARPETED THE MAIN SALON AREA , THERE USED TO BE A DOG IN THE BOAT AT SOMEPOINT SO IT SEEMED EASIER JUST TO REMOVE ALL THE CARPET IN THE BOAT RATHER THAN CLEAN IT , YOU WILL NEED TO CARPET THE BACK CABIN AND FORWARD CABIN , THE FLOORING IN THE GALLEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION .THERE ARE A FULL SET OF CUSTOM BLINDS IN THE MAIN SALON LIVING AREA

MOVING FORWARD YOU WILL STEP DOWN INTO THE GALLEY WHICH HAS A FULL SIZE REFRIDGERATOR , A STOVE AND MICROWAVE , FORWARD TO STARBOARD IS A HEAD / BATHROOM WITH FULL SEPERATE STAND UP SHOWER . FORWARD IS THE V BERTH CABIN .

AFT IN THE BACK IS A SEPEATE QUEEN SIZE BED WITH SEPERATE ONE SUITE BATHROOM / HEAD AND A SMALL TUB AS PICTURED .

I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL MATRESS FOR THE MASTER CABIN BUT IT LOOKED A LITTLE NASTY SO I TOOK IT OUT , I WOULD PERSONALLY THROW IT OUT BUT IF YOU WANT IT I DO HAVE IT .

I AM OBVIOUSLY SELLING IT AS IS ,I AM SURE I HAVE MISSED SOME THINGS BUT ALWAYS TRY TO BE AS UP FRONT AS POSSIBLE , INSPECTIONS ARE ALLWAYS WELCOMED BEFOREHAND , I WOULD FIX IT MYSELF BUT HAVE JUST PURCHASED A PIECE OF LAND AND AM TRYING TO PAY THAT OFF SO NEED TO LIQUIDATE SOME ASSETS , THAT SAID I DO THIS FOR A LIVING SO COULD GLADLY TALK YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS DOING AND HELP WHERE I CAN .

IF YOU LOOK ON YACHTWORLD YOU WILL SEE 6 OF THESE GULFSTARS I THINK AND THE CHEAPEST BEING $58,000 WITH OVER 7000 HOURS !! MOST ARE BETWEEN 68 AND 78K SO THERE IS A LOT OF EQUITY IN THIS BOAT .

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL OR CALL AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS , IF I DO NOT ANSWER I WILL CALL YOU BACK .
