Opportunity knocks...38 Californian Trawler /
Long Range Cruiser. Priced below market value - for immediate sale - for a serious buyer.Nice clean boat, at a fair price - ready for your enjoyment. Located in a great slip in Marina del Rey, CA.This Californian Trawler was built in the USA, in Santa Ana California in 1978You will experience a SOLID quality ride on the ocean, with
this classic, quality-built trawler. (You are getting American Quality
here not like those cheap Taiwanese trawlers made with substandard
parts by 6 year old kids in a sweatshop)This can be your vacation home on the water. Only
10 minutes from LAX airport, and convenient to all best parts of
Southern California. Three (3) huge decks - plenty of room and easy to walk around. Great for parties. Bathroom with walk in shower+bathtub. Plus another head with walk in shower adjacent to 2 bunkbeds upfront.This boat would make a good rental on AirBNB. I
originally advertised it there at $149/night and had quite a bit of
interest, (but decided it's not my thing to have strangers sleeping on
my boat). You can probably rent it out for 10 nights/month and cover all
your costs. The engines now have about 900 ORIGINAL
hours on them. That is almost like a new boat when you consider this
is a 33 year old boat!! The boat had only 2 previous owners. Previous
owner had it for nearly 30 years before I purchased it in October 2010.
Please shop around and compare similar boats on the market and you will
see the value offered here. This yacht has 2 (full size) beds in the
main sleeping area along with a nice size bathroom with shower and
bathtub. There is also a second area in the front with 2 bunk beds and a
bathroom with shower. Importantly, this boat DOES NOT SMELL! (I
remember when I was shopping for boats and about 90% of them had that
funky boat smell. The good news is that this boat is NOT one of them.)
The carpet, and drapes on the boat are from original owner, and are due
for a replacement. I was planning on replacing these, but will leave
that up to you, the new owner to choose exactly what colors/fabrics you
like after you buy the boat. NOTE: some of the photos show zebra/leapoard fabric on the upholstery. My girlfriend put that on because she thought it was more fun than the original 70's fabric. However if you prefer the boring original fabric, you can simply pull off the zebra/leopard cover.Check out videos of this boat on youtube..
search term is californian trawler 38 for sale You will see videos of
the boat at sea, and also being taken out of the water at survey. Boat is in good running order, and ready for your enjoyment. Below are the only material problems with the boat that I am aware of. (I prefer you to know any and all negatives in advance, so that we don't waste time.)- Missing anchor and chain (About $600 to replace)- 1 of the 2 radars not functioning due to cut wire (You will probably want to replace with digital radar anyway)- bottom paint is due to be re-done. however this is not an issue for me as I have a diver clean the bottom monthly.- Above 2000 RPM, a few of the port engine gaskets start leaking. (Relatively easy fix, but I have not addressed this since I rarely cruise above 1500 RPM)********************I am happy to show the
boat, surveys, documentation, etc. to any serious buyer. ("Serious buyer" means somebody who lives within 250 miles of the boat, and is able to inspect the boat within a week, and has funds in place.) To screen out
the flakes and tire-kickers, on classifieds board, please show *proof of funds*,
showing you have cash on hand and ability to purchase the boat, before
scheduling any viewing appointment. ********************(copied from survey 2010)SPECS Hull: Modified V-bottom,
