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.
