1960 Defever 47 Trawler One can tell from the equipment list and the photos that though this boat is 55 years old it has had continued care and upgrades since the day it was launched. The seller has owned Pau Hana ll for the past 30 years, has cruised offshore extensively from Mexico to Alaska and he is only the second owner. These Defever designs are born from the needs of the Pacific Tuna fleets of southern California. They needed to provide safe, economical voyages of long duration in all kinds of weather. What developed has become the design standard of the modern day pleasure trawler. Defever and Lindwall worked together and in the 1960's built 10 offshore trawlers from 40' to 58', Pau Hana ll is one of them. On board is a note book of photos from the original building. It shows the massive, vertical grain fir scantlings. The original fastenings are monel and show "as new." By many standards; design, builder skill and reputation, choice of materials, standards of upkeep and the choice of current equipment, makes for an outstanding offering well worth consideration of anyone thinking of living aboard and long distance cruising. boat details are subject to contract.Note: Offers on the asking price ma y be considered.
