1966 Webbers Cove 1966/2004 Custom Trawler

Step aboard and you immediately feel the shipyard heritage of this heavy-displacement hull—massive rubrails, high bulwarks and wide side decks that invite you to move around underway with confidence. The 2004 conversion created a pilothouse with excellent sightlines and real watch-keeping ergonomics: proper chart table, space for paper charts, and room to stretch out on long passages. Storage is plentiful and practical, from deep lockers for provisions to clever nooks for tools and spares. Her engine room is set up for an owner-operator who likes to tinker, with straightforward systems runs and good access for maintenance. This is a boat built for people who value honest, workboat bones dressed in comfortable cruising clothes.

In these waters, where strong tides, confused chop and sudden squalls are part of the routine, this Webbers Cove hull really earns its keep. The deep forefoot and generous displacement smooth out short, steep seas, while the high freeboard and secure handholds make deck work feel controlled rather than risky. Long distances between fuel docks reward her frugal passagemaking speeds and onboard independence from the generator, solar, and watermaker. Protected wheelhouse visibility is ideal for running in rain, mist, or low winter light. With ample heat sources and a cozy interior, she’s equally at home on a summer island-hop or a shoulder-season run when most lighter cruising boats are still tied to the dock.
