Let's start with what kind of auction this is. You can hit the " Buy It Now Option " and own this very nice vessel. You are, however, committing to purchase it if you do. Or, you can make an offer that I can take into consideration. I will consider realistic offers, but not low ball offers, so please do not waste your time or mine. I also do not want to trade for anything else, or take partial trades of any kind. I do not need any more boats, cars, trucks, etc. Please don't ask. This is a very nice 3 owner trawler. Always fresh water and always moored in a covered dock. It only has 900 original hours on the single Ford Lehman 6 cylinder diesel engine. These engines can go 30,000 hours before reconditioning, so it is barely broken in. Gets great gas mileage and has a 1,000 mile range on the 300 gallons of fuel she carries. ( tanks are full right now ) 1985 was the first year of the Marine Trader's cabin to deck redesign. Boats previous to 1985 had teak deck problems that the newer design eliminated. All of the outside teak, and there is a lot of it, is in very solid shape. The interior is loaded with teak also, and it is pristine. All of the cushions have original coverings and they are in great shape. Two private state rooms, with a full head in each. There are depth sounders and marine radios at both driving stations, but, since it has always been in Missouri, there is no ocean going navigational items such as sonar, GPS, radar, etc. Same with a generator and marine A/C. No need for those by us, so it was not ordered with either of them. I did add a new window A/C to use dock side. It does have an electric windlass. This vessel is ready for a trip up or down the Mississippi River, or any other inland connecting river to get her to your area. It is currently located in a marina on the Mississippi River near Alton Illinois. The slip it is in can be taken over by the new owner. This vessel is Documented with the USA. The most used and trusted vessel valuation guide is the BUC books. It has this vessel valued at close to $50,000. I am well below BUC value for a quick sale. Please do not bid on this boat unless you are serious about buying it and have researched a way of getting it to you. I will not deliver it or arrange shipping across land. Call with any questions BEFORE hitting the buy it now or making an offer. I will give honest and complete answers to all questions I can answer. Thanks and have a great day, Dave 314-732-592five.
