Boat Description

Introducing the 1978 Marine Trader 40 Europa - a timeless full-displacement trawler powered by twin Ford Lehman Diesels, now available as a turnkey liveaboard in Marina Bay, Richmond, CA for $45,000. This vessel is a standout; some boats you simply walk back to, and this is one of them. The Marine Trader 40 Europa boasts a remarkable presence and has been genuinely maintained over the past three years, showcasing its exceptional condition and mechanical integrity at every turn. The engines have been fully rebuilt and the interior is immaculate, exuding a clean, fresh scent that sets it apart in the vintage trawler market. **ENGINE PERFORMANCE** Equipped with twin Ford Lehman 120HP Diesels, fully rebuilt in 2020 with under 1,000 hours of use, these engines are renowned for their reliability and longevity. The newer generator, replaced about six years ago, has low hours and ensures comfort for extended cruising or year-round living aboard. **SUPERIOR CONDITION** Three years of dedicated ownership focused on maintaining the vessel are evident: - Interior in showroom condition, free from mustiness or neglect - Beautifully preserved teak woodwork - All-new cushions throughout - A new Force 10 3-burner stove installed in 2025, along with a new Vissani refrigerator (2024) - Galley sink, microwave, and surfaces all in excellent shape - Cabin diesel heating system for ultimate comfort in cooler climates - Regularly maintained bottom, ensuring hull protection year-round **HULL AND SEAKINDNESS** Crafted by one of Taiwan's premier shipyards during the height of trawler construction, this full-displacement GRP vessel prioritizes range, stability, and comfort over speed. It features rolling choke stabilizers for enhanced comfort while at anchor or in rough seas, making it one of the most seaworthy designs in its class. **SPACIOUS LAYOUT** The Europa layout is highly sought after, offering two cabins with sleeping accommodations for four, a bright and airy salon, and excellent visibility from the helm. Whether navigating the Bay or docked for the season, this layout is functional and enjoyable. **FINAL THOUGHTS** With rebuilt engines, an updated generator, and an exceptional interior, this vessel is fully maintained and ready to sail. This is not just a boat; it's a well-preserved trawler that represents a remarkable opportunity for discerning buyers. Classic trawlers of this quality are becoming increasingly rare, so don't miss your chance. Contact Joel Kauffman at Marina Bay Harbor, Richmond, CA for an appointment.
