If you want a serious boat that can handle anything, this is it! The solid choice for many government agencies is now available to you. This 2004 SAFEboat Defender 25 full cabin (weather tight) with twin Yamaha 225’s will always bring you back to the dock. My boat is a retired USCG vessel, rated for 10’ seas. Not self-righting, but unsinkable unless the hull is compromised. I've been using it part-time as a towing and salvage boat for the past four years. A recent transfer to my agencies full-time marine and dive unit leaves me no time to operate my own boat, so it is time to pass her on instead of letting her sit.
110 gallon fuel tank. For the asking price, the sale includes a second set of props and two new lower units still in the box ($5200). I also have a Cornwell roll cart that is full of new Yamaha parts like water pump impellers, prop hubs, and other seals and gaskets that I will throw in. Engines have approximately 1800 hours on them and run fine. Two marine VHF radios. Portable VHF radio. Garmin 7613XSV radar with chartplotter and side scan sonar. The maps and firmware have been updated to most recent version. Boat Eye 360 night vision camera with 10” monitor. Hailer with front and rear loudspeakers and listening mode so you can hear outside when the cabin is closed up. Three walkie talkies and charging base for spotters. 360 degree Yellow/red towing lights. 25’ jumper cables. 4500w generator on aft deck. Shore power cord and three bank charger with galvanic isolator unit. One suspension seat ($6k) was removed and replaced with a storage tray, but will be provided with sale. The sale includes a one year old EZ Loader triple axle trailer with disc surge brakes and oil bath hubs. It was ($14k new). This boat is the ultimate package.
I'm also selling my entire towing and salvage business. If you are interested in that, let me know. It includes a utility truck that has been converted to an RV, diving equipment, and all other necessary equipment to start working tomorrow for $285k. This price of $235k is for the boat and the equipment listed in this ad only. Reasonable offers and requests for sea trials or surveys are accepted.
Government agencies are welcome.
