Selene 53 Survey/Happy New Year!

I started the New Year off by traveling to South Florida for inspection, surveys, and sea trials of a 53 Selene Trawler built in mainland China by Jet-Tern Marine. My clients have hull #26 under contract as a likely "next boat".

If cruising under power is in the cards for your future, I highly recommend a very close look at this full-on displacement yacht. It is a smooth/steady runner and economical, in this case with a single Cummins Q-series diesel. The boat is steadied out by means of Wesmar Stabalizers and has a "get-home" wing engine.

This link will allow you to tag along for a bit of the sea trial!
