55' Custom A.E. Hingle Long Range STEEL Trawler Trawlers

Description

This Long Range custom built trawler was specially designed by Coe M Best Jr. He worked closely with the boat builder A E Hingle at a boatyard in LaCombe La. You will see that the workmanship is of the highest quality. To hold the title of a Long Range Trawler it was essential to construct this boat with safety factors being a high priority. Having fuel capacity in excess of 3,400 gals., fresh water almost 600 gals., a 40 Gph water maker, and equipped with Paravane Stabilizers, brings peace of mind when crossing blue water oceans.� 

This Yacht has been consistently maintained by a very knowledgeable Coast Guard Veteran, who can single hand her if needed and very easily handled by a Couple.

Owner has an extensive library of all systems and operating procedures.� 

Recent upgrades include Topside Decks freshly painted and Non skidded Sept (2021)

12 new Trojan Wet Cell Batteries for House and Main (Sept 2021)

With a 5ft Draft and Air Draft that can be lowered to 15 ft in minutes, this Trawler is� Loop Capable!

Don�t let the Steel scare you, not that hard to maintain just a little different than Fiberglass and most would argue easier! No Waxing!
