1973 Fales Caribe 30 ****PRELIMINARY LISTING - MORE PICTURES AND DETAILS COMING SOON**** "BOOMARANG" is rare find indeed! The Fales Caribe 30 is a very strongly constructed pilothouse trawler loosely based on a Colin Archer hull design. It has a high bow and canoe stern. It has a very easily driven modified sailing hull with a .48 prismatic coefficient. When motoring the fuel consumption is less than 1.0 US gallon per hour giving a range of approx. 400 NM with on board 60 gal. tankage. The low fuel consumption and simple mechanicals make the boat ideal for longer passages.  The hull was in production, virtually unchanged, from 1973 to 1997 and was adapted for cruising sailboats, motorsailers, recreational trawlers, and fishing boats by changing the top molding and mechanical components. The Willard/Fales line was often called the "Pocket Battleship" of small trawlers.   The hull is self righting to 122 degrees. Powered by a single Yanmar 56hp diesel engine. She has had many recent updates, which make her truly a one-of-a-kind! Loaded with equipment, such as a Kholer 4kw diesel generator, 16k BTU reverse cycle A/C, bow thruster, (2) Garmin chart plotters, Garmin HD Radar, Simrad autopilot w/ remote, Standard Horizon VHR with DSC and AIS, plus much, much more! There are (2) Helm Stations (pilot house and custom upper helm was added). Truly a rare find and truly a must see! Offers considered!
