Island Trader 46 1981

Explore the immersive 3D tour of this stunning Floyd Ayers-designed Masthead Ketch, a timeless classic that seamlessly bridges the gap between a sailboat and a trawler. Ready for new adventures, this comfortable vessel has undergone significant upgrades, including the complete removal of its teak deck, installation of a new core deck, and a rebuilt transom during a major refit in 2017. The current owners have enjoyed cruising the scenic Florida coast and the ICW aboard Whiskey River, where her heritage, style, spaciousness, and comfort are truly unmatched. Every bit of exterior brightwork has been meticulously stripped to bare wood and treated with at least 12 coats of Epifanes High Gloss Varnish, while the bowsprit has been fully rebuilt. The hull has been cleaned and received two coats of Interlux Micron CSC. With enhanced mechanical and electrical systems, this vessel is cruise-ready. The roomy master suite and ample storage make Whiskey River an ideal liveaboard. Key features include a Ford Lehman 120hp 6-Cylinder engine with 4600 hours (overhauled at 3250 hours in 2017), a 2025 bronze 3-blade prop serviced in 2024, and a Beta Marine 10kW genset with only 157 hours. Major upgrades from 2017 include rebuilt decks and transom, standing rigging, chainplates, and running rigging, along with Spartite mast wedging. Other enhancements include a 2022 bow thruster, an inspected Galley Maid electric windlass, and a beautifully maintained brightwork finish. The bottom of the hull was completely refurbished down to FRP in 2017 and painted with two coats of Interlux Micron CSC in 2022. Additional upgrades include a rebuilt hydraulic steering cylinder, replaced AC wiring, a ProNautic 40amp charger, and a Raymarine Axiom+ chart plotter along with Quantum 2 Doppler radar, both from 2022. The fuel, water, and sanitary tanks were replaced in 2017, and the vessel features two 12k BTU Mermaid A/C-heating units, a watermaker (unused), and a range of modern appliances including a Furrion gas stove and Norcold refrigerator. Custom wood deck boxes, new curtains, cushion covers, and excellent condition Sunbrella canvas complete this exceptional boat.
