The full keel protects her single shaft from damage. She has a rounded transom stern, raked bow, raised trunk cabin with flush decks midship and full length flybridge. She has sleeping accommodations for up to six. Her full galley is on the main deck along with the lower helm station. She is designed for extensive offshore voyaging with 4000 gallons of fuel.

Broker's Comments

“EVENTIDE” offers an extraordinary opportunity own a serious long range offshore cruiser with her 4000 gallons of fuel and her very efficient CAT 280 hp continuous duty diesel she has the legs that only a few 50’+ Trawlers can imagine. Built originally for a very well-known and respected sailor/cruising couple Esther and Steve Newmark of Los Angeles she has traveled extensively on both coasts. In 2003 “EVENTIDE” traveled to Port Angeles, WA to Platypus Marine and with the guidance of Bell Design Group a complete refit of the master stateroom was completed. In 2016 the current owner upgraded most all the electronics suite with state-of-the-art Furuno navigation gear. Surveyed in July 2024 along with Ultrasound Testing by HSI Group and oil samples have been done regularly.
