A tax paid LLC owned classic trawler located in the heart of Seattle with transferrable, covered, liveaboard moorage. Tired of fighting traffic in and out of town or looking for affordable housing? This may be a solution for you. American Marine was a trend setter in boating during the '60's and 70's with their Alaskan line featuring pilothouse and Portuguese bridge. A new version of this classic will set you back millions, but you can still experience the dream at a fraction of the price. And it has the benefit of an amazing slip located next to the Freemon Bridge. You can sit on the foredeck and watch the marine world go by from a rowing scull to ocean going vessels under tow headed to the locks. Or if you decide to head out cruising you will do so in comfort and style. The boating dream is alive and well!
