Description
1988 Hans Christian 45 Independence Trawler
Great Loopers Boat!
Popeye is a rare Hans Christian 45 Independence trawler, that they only made 19 of them between 1985 and 1996, and very few with the bridge. Hans Christian is famous for their rugged, well-made sailboats with beautiful Teak interiors.
Popeye had a lot of upgrades recently, Electronics, Mechanical, Bottom, Running Gear, and Paint. The owner's plans have changed; she is sitting in a very desirable hurricane-protected marina with lots of amenities that are transferable.
A must see if you’re looking for a rugged Pilothouse Bluewater Trawler!!!
