Description

1972 Uniflite 36 Double Cabin Motor Yacht - Repowered with 1992 Hino EH700-TI Diesels • Aft Cabin • Liveaboard Potential • $29,900

Opportunity knocks for the right buyer!

If you've been searching for a classic trawler-style motor yacht with tremendous upside, this 1972 Uniflite 36 Double Cabin deserves a look. Recently repowered with dependable Twin 1993 Hino EH700-TI 250 HP Diesel Motors showing less than 600 hours, this classic Northwest-built yacht offers an incredible foundation for someone who enjoys projects and wants equity instead of paying top dollar for a fully restored boat.

The spacious double cabin layout provides two private staterooms, a large salon, full galley, flybridge, and generous aft deck—making it an ideal weekend cruiser, floating condo, or liveaboard.

The Good

  • Twin Hino diesel engines with fewer than 600 hours
  • Solid Uniflite fiberglass construction
  • Recent tasteful Refit
  • Spacious double cabin floorplan
  • Two private staterooms
  • Large salon with excellent natural light
  • Flybridge with great visibility
  • Excellent platform for restoration or customization
  • Located in one of San Diego's most desirable marina locations
  • Vessel is blister free

Current Known Issues

This vessel is priced to reflect the work needed.

  • Both engines start and run.
  • Port engine runs hot and the port solenoid shuts off.
  • Main head toilet needs replacement.
  • Exterior cosmetics are fair and would benefit from detailing and refinishing.
  • Some interior systems and components are currently inoperative.
  • Bottom Paint will be needed at next haul.

For someone comfortable with mechanical work—or working with a marine mechanic—this represents an opportunity to own a diesel-powered aft cabin yacht for a fraction of replacement cost.

A Great Fit for Airline Crews & Pilots

Located within walking distance of the San Diego International Airport, this yacht could make an excellent crash pad or waterfront retreat for airline pilots, flight crews, commuters, or aviation professionals.

With Airlines continuing to expand operations in San Diego, this location offers exceptional convenience—just minutes from the terminal while providing all the benefits of waterfront living. Any purchaser wishing to keep the boat in its current slip must be approved by the marina.

Why Buy a Classic Uniflite?

Uniflite earned its reputation building exceptionally rugged fiberglass yachts in the Pacific Northwest frequently used by the Navy in their heyday. Their solid fiberglass hulls have stood the test of time and remain favorites among experienced boaters looking for quality construction and timeless styling.

If you've been looking for an affordable diesel liveaboard, restoration project, or weekend cruiser with great bones, this Uniflite deserves your attention.
