THUNDERBIRD
She is a 46 ft. steel-hulled, Pilot House trawler with an economical 471 Detroit 2 stroke Diesel.
She was custom built into a pleasure craft from a used steel hull and a used engine, by R. J. "Dick" Watt, of Buchanan Marine.
Length at the Waterline is 42 feet and length overall is 46 feet. Rebuilt blower, starter and water pump.
New fuel system, injectors, and all-new fuel pump and hoses. There is a 55 gal. water tank and an 80 gal. holding tank. 120 gal. fuel tankand a 6 gal. hot water tank. The hull is 1/4 inch steel and she weighs 14 ton.
As you enter thunderbird from her rear deck, you enter the Galley.
This boat has a good-sized galley with a small under counter fridge, a 4 burner gas stove top and a convection oven. Everything you need to cook and live aboard.
Across from the cabinetry and sink is the galley dinette, which is also large and comfortable. This Dining area is part of the Galley and is open through the Salon.
Then forward of the salon is the Pilot House. that also has a couch, that makes down to a double bed. The shutters close off to allow for privacy at night.
Here is a view from the Pilot House through the Salon to the Galley.
Just off the Pilot House to Starboard is the main "Head"
Then down the stairs and forward of the Pilot House is the "Captains Quarters."
The Captains Quarters are totally separated and completely private, with its own en suite Head.
The boat has beautiful woodwork throughout. This is the Pilot House ceiling.

Built-in lockable bar in the Pilot House.

She has wide steel stabilizers down both sides of her hull to help mitigate rough water.
Plus she also has a deep keel that protects her propeller in the shallows.
Also included in the sale is a 3000 watt Honda Generator, which is handy when out on a cruise of any real length.
There is also a steel swim platform and boarding ladder for those Lazy Hot Summer Days out on the water.
Thunderbird is equipped with a 10 ft. dinghy that has a 9.9 outboard.
We have lived aboard this boat for at least 15 summers and cruised to many, many ports on the Red River and Lake Winnipeg. She is the ideal boat for cruising and living aboard.
I am asking $35,000.00 but of course, am open to all reasonable offers. If you would like to check it out call Linda at 204-389-4842 or email ldthacker@icloud.com.
