MORE DETAILS: 2009 CUSTOM BUILT 46 DIESEL DUCK TRAWLER!!! This is a truly amazing one-of-a-kind boat built to the highest standards possible. This is a one owner boat built and maintained by the seller. She is currently being lightly used, so the hours may fluctuate slightly. Pelagic was scratch-built from the keel up by the seller during the period from April 2003 to April 2011. It is a long-range diesel cruiser with a hull shape patterned after the West Coast Salmon Troller. They were usually operated by a husband and wife, or father and son team, and were designed for ease of short-handed operation and extreme efficiency. They are narrower, more sharply pointed at the bow, and often "double ended". They are slow, safe, and may have very long range. Pelagic is considered a trans-Atlantic boat in that is has a range of 2500 to 3000 miles between fuelings, depending on speed and generator usage. Above Deck: Pelagic is built mostly out of various woods, with a fiberglass outer layer. The interior has many different and interesting woods. The boat also has many features normally only found on larger boats. Many of these were able to be included in the boat only by sacrificing a dedicated guest cabin. Pelagic's serious, capable look on the outside is carried through on the inside with a layout designed to provide both comfort and safety at sea. This is no floating condo, or marina queen, which is best left at the dock when the weather turns bad. Instead, every detail, from properly positioned handrails to heavy-duty door hinges and catches, is carefully designed for safety at sea. Windows are extra heavy, tempered glass or Margard polycarbonate, and all window and door frames are built to withstand boarding seas. Non-skid decks with night lighting improve footing and movement around the outside, and rounded corners on furniture and cabinets inside reduce scrapes and bruises when the boat makes an unexpected movement. Wheelhouse: Pelagic's center of attraction is the wheelhouse, which has a real sense of purpose about it. Located where sea motion is minimized, its wrap-around windows and angled equipment console provide excellent visibility for operating the boat. This is the command center of the ship, with all engine controls, DC electrical panels, navigation gear, and communications equipment installed in logical, easy-to-use fashion. Behind the helm, a raised settee provides the perfect spot to keep watch while underway or anchored behind a distant island. For those overnight passages, there's a pilot berth behind the settee, which also serves as an extra berth in port. Standing at the helm looking out across the bow in rising seas, and knowing the trustworthiness of her diesel engine and how stout the hull gives us confidence that this is a vessel that will go just about anywhere. Below Deck: Although Dan designed and built the interior with the comfort of himself and one other as the primary design directive, he worked hard to incorporate features that will accommodate additional guests in comfort. Pelagic's interior is at the same time luxurious and functional. Going below and aft, the owner's stateroom with private head is spacious and comfortable. There is generous storage of clothing, supplies, maintenance items, and a large library of books and DVD/Blurays. Below decks forward more of the innovative features of this yacht become apparent. A custom partial spiral staircase, executed in old growth white oak, leads to the dinette that becomes an extra double berth and has storage beneath for emergency fresh water and supplies. On the port side is the Captain's office with a heavy maple desktop that doubles as a workbench. Here we also find the heart of the AC electrical system, with a Victron Inverter/Charger. The ships computer is located here, and there is a 32" HDTV with Blu-Ray player in the computer. Below the exotic Brazilian Mesquite sole is the house bank of traction batteries, engine oil storage, root crop storage, and polished fuel tankage. Moving forward we come to the ship's galley. Pelagic provides the conveniences of a home kitchen in a compact, efficient layout. She has a full size refrigerator with icemaker, a gas range with oven, and a trash compactor. A durable granite countertop supports two individual deep sinks, one w
