$38,000 · 1979 Marine Trader 30 - $38,000

It's time for us to find a new home for our much-loved, MV Brigand, a great all-season Inside Passage cruiser for couples. Our dreams of cruising have been disrupted by life circumstances; Brigand will be a good boat for the right people. Originally built in Taiwan in 1979, Brigand is 30’ overall, plus a sturdy 24” aluminum swim platform for easy entry and exit from the stern. Underway, the traditional hull style and 14,000 lbs, carves through large rollers with ease, while using just 6 l/hr of diesel at a 7 knot cruising speed. With a full load of fuel, you can cruise for days. Brigand was extensively refitted during our ownership.
