1985 Marine Trader 50

The largest trawler-style yacht ever offered by Marine Trader, the 50 Motor Yacht is an inexpensive long-range cruiser with a spacious double-deck interior and a classic trawler profile.  She was built at the Lien Hwa shipyard in Taiwan on a solid fiberglass hull with moderate beam, a deep forefoot and a long prop protecting keel.  The Marine Trader 50 has  full walkaround sidedecks and a covered aft deck.  It has a three-stateroom floorplan on the lower level.  The engines are located in separate compartments on either side of the central corridor leading to the aft cabin.  Typical of most Asian-built boats of her era, traditional teak paneling and cabinetry are used extensively throughout the interior of the 50MY.  Topside, the flybridge is spacious with plenty of room for dinghy storage aft and guest seating forward around the helm.
