PILOTHOUSE TRAWLER FOR SALE



CLOUD NINE HAS SOLD!
UPDATE:  Cloud Nine was sold to a wonderful couple from Kingston, WA.  They seem to love her as much as we did.  While we have mixed feelings after moving off of her, we will always have our memories.  Thanks for following our story.  We may have another to share sometime down the road.

After a lot of discussion, we have made the decision to sell our pilothouse trawler and move back to land.  We have loved living aboard M/V Cloud Nine, working to bring her beauty back.

She's been watched over by wooden boat specialists, Haven Boatworks in Port Townsend, WA. They replaced 8-10 planks in her hull in 2011, and then inspected her bottom again when we pulled her out in 2013, replacing a thru hole.  She was last hauled out in May of 2015, with bottom sanded, inspected, and painted. 







This shows the custom canvas enclosure for the cockpit


Customer made back door replaced the two side-by-side doors.

This is galley as installed in 2012.  The salon shows boxes of bamboo flooring which
we installed.  Also shows the old door going out to cockpit.  New door looks the same
outside as it does inside.

Here's the salon with the bamboo flooring, paneling, and new headliner in place with
stained and varnished oak strips with decorative screws.


Here's our steering station.  New radar installed, as well as a new marine radio.
The chart area was recently re-done as we didn't like what we had done earlier.
There is an opening on the counter both left and right that allow one to
get into the storage cabinets, instead of digging through the front.


A little blurry (sorry!) picture of our head.  A good-sized head, the full, stand-up
shower is on the other side of the wall where I am standing. Vacu-flush head.
