The Marine Trader 50 Motor Yacht is a classic trawler-style cruiser offering substantial interior volume, economical diesel power, and the accommodations needed for extended cruising or comfortable liveaboard use.

Built on a displacement hull with a deep forefoot and long prop-protecting keel, this 50 is powered by twin naturally aspirated Ford Lehman 120 HP diesels with Velvet Drive reduction gears. 750 gallons of fuel capacity, she is designed for economical cruising and is particularly well suited for the Great Loop, Bahamas, coastal cruising, or extended time aboard.

Spacious three-stateroom layout features traditional teak cabinetry and paneling throughout, while the flybridge provides excellent visibility, generous seating, and aft dinghy storage.
