Broker's Comments
This is one very special Marine Trader! Her most conscientious owner has continued to upgrade REEF DRIFTER while continuing a comprehensive preventative maintenance program. Everything works! No window leaks, beautiful full flybridge enclosure, new dinghy, outboard and davits. Whether departing for a weekend or extended cruise, REEF DRIFTER is eminently livable, offering completely separate and private accommodations for two adult couples, plus plenty of room for stores and belongings. Headroom is well over 6' throughout and interior furnishings are recognizable Taiwanese - all beautiful, warm, teak. Plenty of windows and portlights keep her interior bright and welcoming. Aluminum fuel tanks and fiberglass decks eliminate serious, costly 'issues' normally associated with many of REEF DRIFTER's contemporaries. Additionally, her low hour 6N140 American Diesel Corporation engine is a proven success because of its simple economical design, ease of maintenance and long life. Preview REEF DRIFTER and you will see why the Marine Trader 34 was the best selling small trawler ever imported and sold in the U.S. by CHB.
GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A WELL MAINTAINED, EASY TO OPERATE LEGEND!!
