DeFever 48 Trawler, 1982 CTF built.

[jwitzel]

For Sale: DeFever 48 Trawler, 1982 CTF built.



Owned, operated and cruised solo for almost 8 years; she is truly setup for easy one person operation including docking. NOMAD has been religiously maintained and I hate to let her go but I am planning on spending most of the next decade overseas and sadly it makes the most sense to pass her along to a deserving new owner at this time. Currently docked in the Cocoa Beach area of Florida (nearly due east of Orlando). NOMAD has not been a boat for charter.

Very nice boat, indeed.

With the booms deployed and some upper deck wrenching could you get under the 19 foot bridge in Chicago?

 

[Panama Dave]

Is she still for sale?

 

[Mikala]

It’s no longer for sale. I bought it in May.
