FOR SALE -- Fast Catamaran Micro-Cruiser!

[boathealer]

While not a conventional "trawler", this Glacier Bay 2270 catamaran has been completely remodeled and upgraded to be an extended off-grid cruiser!

Price Reduced!! Only $69,000! Unexpected financial circumstances forcing sale.

Fully upgraded and customized 2004(2024) Glacier Bay 2270 22ft catamaran, meticulously rebuilt from scratch over 2022-2024 into a self-sufficient micro-cruising jewel.

This is an off-grid fishing/cruising machine - 7.2kWh (600Ah) of lithium house batteries and 700W of solar panels, all running 24/7!

Refrigerator will run indefinitely on solar/lithium, cabin AC will run 28 hours on ECO with no sun at all!! Add to that shore power with 120V inverter and chargers, custom hard top and full 3-season enclosure, brand new fuel tanks, and a brand new all-aluminum trailer with stainless steel brakes and LED lighting!!

I have nearly $100,000 dollars and over 1000 man-hours into all of these refit and upgrades! All built to the highest standards.

Google all of the typical problems with Glacier Bay catamarans - bilge pump hoses, bilge pump exits, aft hatch covers, bow rail studs, fuel tanks - EVERY SINGLE ISSUE has been eliminated. Permanently.

This boat is designed for a specific kind of adventurer: someone who values a compact, easy-to-handle vessel equipped with top-tier systems for safety, reliability, and independence on the water. Drawing on my 30 years of cruising experience and over 10,000 nautical miles on vessels up to 50,000 lbs, I’ve tailored SEAWEED to excel in both function and simplicity.

As a retired engineer with 30 years experience and a touch of OCD, I personally invested over 1,000 hours of labor into these upgrades—a fun hobby that became a labor of love. Now, all this extra value is yours for the taking. SEAWEED is ready today for your next adventure.

Hubby Dan and I went to see this boat.

This Glacier Bay is underpriced, because it is far superior now to any brand new 2270.

Go to the website and download the PDF, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and read through the improvements that Ray has made to this vessel. You will be astounded. It is even more astounding to see it and feel it and experience it in person.

Ray answered all of our questions in great detail, and was gracious and kind throughout the showing.

You could do the Great Loop on this vessel. Or just do a week's cruise when you have the time. It is set up to cruise with no worries.

And Ray - boathealer - is the most knowledgeable person you will ever meet regarding boat systems. He had lived on, and vastly improved, a Great Harbor trawler for many years. He is highly regarded in the Great Harbor community for not only his knowledge, but also for being helpful and encouraging.

(I really, really wanted to buy this boat. Unfortunately for me, Hubby Dan was determined to instead budget for a metal roof and an extravagant solar array w batteries for our dirt home. I could not convince him that a new boat was a better return on investment. Sigh.)

Cheers,
Mrs. Trombley

Do you have a GVW with her all loaded up on the trailer?

I'm looking but my truck is limited to 7500 lbs towing capacity and hadn't considered a cat or even mono with twins because of the weight.

 

[boathealer]

On Trailer
---------
Height -10ft 6in hardtop down, 12ft 0in hardtop up.
Length overall with tongue and engines down - 30ft
Empty boat on trailer weight - 5750lbs (incl. trailer)
All-up (full tanks, cruising gear) on trailer weight - 7320lbs (incl. trailer)

Thanks.... I wish you well with it, if still around at the end of Oct... will sniff again.

Leave tomorrow early for Michigan and cooler temps by land yacht. See if the fish up there aren't hiding in dark, pool halls with cool drinks like the Ft Pierce fishies.

Exactly why I need a bigger boat to run offshore....

 

[boathealer]

No worries. Good luck and be safe up there!

Thank you, sir - you are much too kind. Hope all is well with you and yours....

Hope you recover from your disease (NOT!) LOL!

Hi Ray, I have sent you a direct message here as well as an email to your boathealer email address. Thank you.

 

[boathealer]

Well, my time is up. House is on the market, we're moving, and cannot take the boat. Sacrifice price - first person with $45k takes her home. This is less than *HALF* of rebuild cost! All the details at Details/Downloads | My Site There's no other boat out there like this.

 

[Comodave]

Wow, beautiful job on the refit. Just curious, what is the beam? Or did I miss it somewhere in the specs?

 

[boathealer]

Thank you for your very kind words!! Standard trailerable 8'6" beam....

 

[Comodave]

I like to see others that do work similar to what I want to do with my boats.
