M/Y Arpension

A 1989 Grand Banks Marine 40-footer on the market through the YATCO MLS.

"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.

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.

  • Twin 6BT 5.9, 220 hp each
  • 1 staterooms · 1 heads
  • 400 gal fuel - Bahamas and Caribbean legs without stress
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.

Who is selling "Arpension"?
"Arpension" is offered by its listing brokerage through the YATCO MLS. Greg Gaus of Double G Yacht Sales represents you, the buyer: independent advice on price, survey attendance, and negotiation, paid from the existing listing commission - never by you.

What does it cost to run a 40-foot trawler?
Plan on roughly 8 to 12 percent of the purchase price per year for an owner-operated 40-footer - fuel, insurance, dockage, and routine maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this boat before you offer.

Where can I see "Arpension"?
She is lying in Wilson, New York and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.

How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.

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.

How fast is she, and what is the range?
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.
