The "Del Ray" is a 34' single screw with a bow thruster DeFever Passagemaker Trawler Offered at $78,000 with only 413 engine hours on her recent changeout/remanufactured Perkins 130-hp diesel!

Heavily built on a solid fiberglass hull in the US, "Del Ray" is a rarity in her own realm and not to be confused with those trawlers built in Asia. The Passagemaker 34 design by the reknown Art Defever has a full displacement round chined hull with a long deep keel providing directional stability and also protects the running gear and rudder.
She is also very unique since she's undergone a refitting that began with a remanufactured Perkins 130hp diesel (now 450 hrs.) and then continued with a full suite of Raymarine electronics, Vacu-Flush toilet, upholstered 6" cushions,a Magnum inverter partnered with 400ah house battery bank, 5kw Northern Lights generator, SidePower Bow thruster, and her bottom has been barrier coated to resist osmotic blistering. She has also been kept under cover by her owners allowing her flawless hull to retain it's beautiful shine.
This long range offshore sedan cruiser which is very suitable for the cruising couple is comfortable and pleasantly accommodating. She has the ability to deliver an 800 mile cruising range while punching through the roughest of seaways at a steady 7.5 knots.
