"Arpension" is a 1989 Grand Banks Marine 40' trawler offered for sale at $124,900, lying Wilson, New York. 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 twin 6BT 5.9, 220 hp each. She cruises around 11 knots and tops out near 14 knots, carrying 400 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 1 staterooms.









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.










Purchased in Maine in 2016 and brought back to Lake Ontario on her own bottom by the owner and captains. A well-equipped trawler for live aboard or doing the Great Loop! Hull washed/waxed, teak cleaned, varnish done where needed this spring 2020. Currently in a slip in Wilson, NY.Listing description · YATCO MLS

How does the purchase process work?

How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.

Cruise around 11 knots, top speed about 14 knots and 400 gallons of fuel with twin 6BT 5.9, 220 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
