We (my two sisters and I) got the boat inherited from our parents, but we ourselves are not boaters and therefore have no interest in the boat service. Our parents have bought the ship about 25 years ago and have always maintained it in their lifetime and have it repaired by specialist companies (shipyards). The boat was in Holland for a long time (Lemmer, therefore no salt water) and was stored there every winter in a hall and checked for damage and repaired (anti-fouling renewed, teak deck renewed, GfK completely painted, etc.). There are still a lot of high bills, so the boat was always very nice to look at and technically perfect (radar, echo-solder, autopilot, etc.), also the engines ran always flawless, since they are not really broken (6 liters displacement at 120 hp, speed max. 2,500 rpm!).
As we did not have any interest in boat trips as mentioned above, and our parents were less and less able to take care of the ship and could not go to Holland anymore, the boat was brought back to Germany and was located in Münster on the canal A marina, so the journey is shorter. Unfortunately, the ship was neglected, since even this short journey for our sick parents was no longer manageable, or even the maintenance was not carried out by the missing shipyard anymore. It is then unintentionally (as my parents have not gone there anyway) rainwater leaked through a leak in the teak deck into the boat and has damaged almost all wooden panels. We only noticed this when our mother passed away at the end of 2016 and we looked at the boat because it is now our property.
The boat consists of GfK, but the interior construction is almost completely made of wood and wood reacts very badly to moisture, so that the main damage occurred here. The wooden floor (parquet) still looks very good, but the wooden furniture and window frames are not. Thus, one would have to renew the complete interior construction or re-laminate the wooden cabinets and frames. The engines should not cause problems, just like the steepening and the already twice painted GfK is by good cleaning and polishing again in good condition (we have tried in various places).
I hope I could explain a little why we want to sell the boat and what work to do. Of course it is not mobile in the current state and would have to be towed from Münster or repaired in Münster, here it has already been about three years under a tarpaulin on dry dock.
We had the boat yes against bid and this is currently at 25,000 EUR, which we find, however, to low because these types of ships (size and construction) in a functioning used condition (same year) for 120,000 - 180,000 EUR are traded and it It is not to be assumed that one has to put 100,000 EUR into the processing, as mentioned above, mainly woodwork (carpentry), which is either carried out by a self-employed person or a suitable joiner / carpenter, a special boat builder is not necessary. We simply lack the time to finish it ourselves and then sell it, even commissioning a carpenter costs time (control, meetings), which we do not have, so we decided to sell it, but not for very small money , Since such a ship, in size and possibilities is difficult to find (across Europe we have found two similar trawlers).
We think it is a great opportunity for a hobbyist to buy such a large ship with huge space and inexpensive technology, even if you hire someone for the restoration, you do not get an equivalent ship for the money ...
Best regards
