M/Y Elizabeth Ruth
A 1991 Custom 74-footer on the market through the YATCO MLS.
"Elizabeth Ruth" is a 1991 Custom 74' trawler offered for sale at $390,000, lying Poulsbo, Washington. A trawler is a small ship, and its value lives in the systems - tankage, stabilization, electrical capacity, and engine health decide whether the long-range dream works, which makes independent buyer representation essential on this category.
Power is 1 x D-343 TA, 450 hp each, showing 5,296 hours. She cruises around 8 knots and tops out near 12 knots, carrying 4,800 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 3 staterooms.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus spent more than 20 years as a professional captain living with exactly these ship systems offshore, and evaluates a trawler the way an operator does: range at load, machinery health, and maintenance discipline before cosmetics. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
