This 1986 Marine Trader 43 Tradewinds is a classic diesel trawler offering an exceptionally spacious layout for extended cruising, weekends aboard, or liveaboard use.
Power is provided by twin 210 HP Cummins six-cylinder turbo diesels with approximately 1,558 and 1,659 hours showing on the meters at the time of the listing visit. The vessel offers both upper and lower helm stations with Cummins Marine instrumentation, allowing operation from inside the salon or from the flybridge.
The exterior layout provides plenty of room to spread out. The cockpit offers space for relaxing or fishing and convenient access to the swim platform. Above, the aft deck and flybridge create a large outdoor entertaining area. The upper helm includes seating for guests, and the flybridge seating and helm covers were observed in good condition.
Step inside and you'll find the warm woodwork and generous accommodations these classic Marine Traders are known for. The spacious salon includes seating and the lower helm, while the galley-down arrangement keeps the cooking area separate from the main living space.
There are two private sleeping areas. Forward is a cabin with a single V-berth, while the large aft owner's stateroom provides considerably more room and its own private head. A second head serves the forward portion of the vessel. The aft head includes a tub/shower.
Equipment includes a Westerbeke generator showing approximately 4,306 hours, Garmin 740s, VHF radio, digital depth finder, air conditioning, and upper and lower helm stations.
The seller purchased this same vessel through Pop in 2022, brought it from Georgia to Florida, and reports using it only minimally since. He has not completed major upgrades or repairs during his ownership and is now ready to move on from the boat.
This is an older vessel being offered with deferred maintenance and known condition needs. For a buyer comfortable taking on a classic trawler that needs attention, the Tradewinds offers substantial accommodations, a desirable twin-Cummins power package, and an excellent liveaboard-style layout.
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
