Seapiper 34' Mini trawler ads

Breton Island mother ship

They're extremely seaworthy and have a crazy long range. This one has 2k nm range.

seems like a high estimate with a 300 gal tank.

Do you know anything about trawlers?

it has a 110 Yanmar diesel engine. Cruising speed is 6.8 knots. It's extremely efficient. All trawlers are.

is that out the door price 112K ?

This boat uses the same engine and weighs 7,000 less than the seapiper.

says it burns about 1 GPH at 6 knots. which would be 6 mpg or 1,800 miles with a 300 gallon tank. factor in the increase in weight and its not very likely to get 2,000 nautical miles out of a 300 gallon tank unless you are cruising at 4 knots or something which would take 21 days to travel 2,000 miles which you would then need to factor in additonal weight for supplies, water, etc.

Anyone else think that looks suspiciously similar to bateau designs?

It's all nautical miles

Id get a commercial permit and fish for salmon and crab with that boat.

That's sweet. I'd do whale watching charters out of that thing.

That's such a hokey picture. A boat going 6-7 kts could never throw a wake like that. It's a misrepresentation of the vessel.

Reading the specs, the hull is a meager 0.5 inch thick fiberglass! I'd never trust my life to a cheap hull like that on the open water. Maybe in a swimming pool, OK, but not the ocean! A real boat has a hull measured 1 1/2 to 3 inches thick minimum, not half an inch total!

I predict there will never be a boat like this sold for $114,000. It's a (sea) pipe dream!
