Unpainted aluminum

Hi, looking for 44’ - 52’ pilot house trawler . Prefer single engine but twin would be considered. Unpainted aluminum is my preference . Would consider steel/GRP.
Located in BC but happy to look further afield. Price range IRO CAD500k.
ROZEMA built a few interesting examples, if anyone knows of them?

Yes, I've seen Rozema boats. Usually aluminum and unpainted. Rezema was/is in Skagit County, WA. I think they build fish and work boats primarily.

There are lots of aluminum purse seiners in BC that could be had for <$500k I'd guess.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply. Metal trawlers of this type are rare. Probably too expensive to custom build. ROZEMA built some nice ones but not many. They produce superb fishing vessels and support vessels but too much hassle (and expensive) to do conversions, even if they were available.
Not the best time to be a buyer, in this market .

Hello,

Paint could be easily removed , just a sandblasting.
Totally Unpainted was our first choice for our Long-cours.62, but at less the deck must be painted for 2 reasons : non slip paint and ...hot.
Under sun the alloy could became very very hot !
Structure - Trawler long-cours





If we would be sure, don't find customer for our actual boat we will remove all the paint ... because after that for find a buyer it will become "mission impossible" because with "only" some( ok lot of !) "patch" of primer it is already not possible potentials customers always ask for a "Awlgrip" paint
Paint and filler on the hull, deck, roof ( 380m2) it could be around 1000 kg !!!(average of 2mm thickness of paint/filler).
We already save 680kg by removing the teak deck (and lost a potential customer because his wife wanted a teak deck ...)
