Other than the mildew all around the exterior, gel coat in poor condition, window metal trim paint chipping, unattended rust on generator cover, oxidation on all copper valves in engine room. This boat has been sitting with zero attention for awhile. This vessel is NOT maintained correctly.
@@GarnockReviews Perhaps you should take a little time off and take a trip on the Great loop, with an extend stay at McKinley Marina in Milwaukee, and I'll come down and see the boat...👍
Thanks for watching! I was impressed with this one as well. Hard to believe she is nearing 25 years old. I'd gladly be the owner of her if I had the time and money available 🤠
Your teasing me with the 480 Sea Ray----FYI---I'm retired now and my boat buying days are over---love to look though!!! Keep'um coming---never get tired of looking and dreaming---my wife also shares my passion----we love Sea Rays!!!
It's not as easy with new boats as the price is based on spec etc, but with brokerage boats I don't understand why more channels don't share this up front 🤷♂️
Great boat and if I would live in the States this would have been one that I would definitely be interested in. Great lay out and big enough for 2 persons to enjoy the boat, every now and welcoming some guests.
Thanks Dave. I couldn't help think this would be ideal for my wife and I had we the time and money. Big enough for family and friends to join you from time to time, but small enough for a couple to handle with ease 🤠
Hi Garnock Reviews, Wow this is a nice Trawler this Selene 47 for long distance cruising around the world I like the lines of this kind of trawlers the great salon/galley layout, the flybridge/boatdeck the only thing i would change is the stoof from gas to electic thanks again yhis is a great show
Thanks Alex, I am glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it and also leave the kind comments. I've got plenty more videos on the way that hopefully you will enjoy as well 🤠
Unfortunately, I doubt this one will be available then. At least you have another make and model to add to your wish list if you didn't know about it already 🤠
Nice Coast line Boat. Sir. Just curious as there are normally comments re Air conditioning. What about Heating.. You remarked the engine has col😅d weather start Block Heater ?
Unfortunately, I don't have access to the full spec sheet now that she is sold. I can tell you that she had a solid construction, with hot and cold AC, and both lower helm and flybridge. This one would be just as happy cruising in Alaska as she is in Florida.
Salene is on that short list of boat manufacturers where if I get offered to film one, the answer is yes before checking pics and specs etc. Great boats!
"Dockside queen" 😂 I'm just learning about boats, yachts, ships, and all things sea-faring, but now I know what to call sea-shy, shore-hugging craft! Thanks for another interesting review - this one is definitely NOT one of those. What a capable beauty. Agreed with the other comments about the master berth, but I'd think refitting with an island queen may be pretty doable, and besides, the V-berth that's there certainly looks wide enough! Really well-maintained vessel, props to the owners. Oh, and the engine room was surprisingly accessible for a boat of this size IMO.
Welcome to the expensive addiction that is boating 🤪 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and if you ever have any questions as you learn, feel free to ask at any time 😉
Nice boat----had a Sea Ray 340 sedan bridge and let me tell you, that 43 trawler sure is sweet. We were thinking of going live aboard and from what you showed on that 43 trawler I would very much have considered that over my sedan bridge. That boat is maintained by a loving captain and his first mate----you can definitely tell!!
Thanks Norman. I enjoy sports cruisers like your Sea Ray, but for liveaboard use trawlers are the way to go in my opinion. So much space and comfort for their size.
I'm working on final edits for one that is best of both worlds for you. A Sea Ray 480 Motor Yacht. It has the speed of a sports cruiser, but accommodation of a trawler. Should be live on my channel in the next couple of days 😉
Nice boat Except ; For four hundred grand, I want a big master with a walk around queen !! No reason for guests to be more comfortable than me ! I enjoy you videos so those need to keep coming !
Thanks PPG! I wonder what it would take to convert that bed? Looks like there is plenty of room for a queen island. Glad you enjoy my videos, and there are plenty more to come 😀
I recently subscribed to this channel with the recommendation that others do the same. I still appreciate your thorough yet quick-paced reviews. One thing I seemed to overlook is that there are some glaring examples of items that you make absolutely no mention of. I understand that you are reviewing yachts of varying sizes, ages and prices but there's nothing wrong with a reminder (or two) of those circumstances. Otherwise, some of your offerings may appear lacking in maintenance or value as you open hatches with obvious rust or greasy fingerprints in plain view. Thank you for an overall good review of yachts/trawlers.
if i had to say something bad about this yacht, it would be the lack of food storage. Also additional cabin space for crew members. other wise, i love it because it has everything you need in a working yacht
I thought this one did well for storage personally. I've seen similar size trawlers put an outdoor chest freezer either on the flybridge or aft cockpit. This one has the space for that if you wanted.
I saw more things that I nit picked than I said that's clever idea. The main owners cabin didn't have a night stand for a cuppa in the morning. Not a very good reading light. No Full size frig and separate washer/dryer. Didn't hear any mention of an AC Or water maker. Since it does have a two thousand mile range. But a good coastal cruiser. East or west coast.
Sorry Wayne that this one didn't tick all the boxes for you. I can confirm this one is fully air conditioned and worked like a champ when I was onboard. A lot of trawlers opt for a single washer dryer as not only is it less space, but less weight as well. As to fridge freezer, there is plenty of deck space in the aft cockpit and on the flybridge you could easily fit an outdoor fridge or freezer.
Glad you enjoyed my video 🤠 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I'm supposed to be filming another liveaboard trawler in a couple of weeks that I think you will like if you liked this one 😉
Thanks Orlando! This one is so comfortable on the inside, it would even work as a houseboat for those that have no plans on cruising. I'm sure it will sell quickly.
I agree 100% I never dream of owning a super yacht with a bunch of crew. If I had the time and money, it would be something easily handled by either myself or my wife and I 🤠
For the quality of the yacht it's very reasonably priced I really like this one especially with the 2000 mile range I'd go down the pacific coast from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 all the way down to Cabo then la Paz, mazatlan,Puerto Vallarta,Acapulco,ixtapa, then down to Panama crossing over to the Atlantic Ocean then onto cancun, and all around there 😀 big dreamer 😀
Thanks! This one has so many cruising options from being small enough to do the Great Loop, but big enough to tackle offshore routes under 2000 miles as well 🤠
That's a Solo boat, not a Selene. They're distinguished by the island galley and unique second stateroom arrangement. They were the first few boats built by Howard Chen before Selene.
I've heard of Solo, as one of the other Selenes I filmed raised the name Solo. They are great liveaboard tralwers for their size and money. I'd love to get onboard more of them in the future as well
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. This would be a perfect liveaboard cruiser for your retirement goals. Island hop in the Caribbean, or go tackle the Great Loop 🤠
Websters definition; "boat" is a watercraft of a large range of types and sizes, but generally smaller than a ship, which is distinguished by its ability to enslave the owner to endlessly pour money into it while never filling up."
This one is a traditional single diesel. I didn't see any signs of water maker while onboard or on the spec sheet. I'm assuming no, but there is plenty of room to add one if it's needed.
I think the 43, 47, and 53 all had island queen as an option. This particular example is hull number 2. I believe the newer boats in production had queens as standard
You can take the man out of Scotland, but you can't take Scotland out the man 😆🏴 Born and raised in North Ayrshire. I moved to Florida in 2008 when I was 24 😉
Nicely laid out and you can see it's been well maintained...I think it's a fair price too, lots of value... How to get it to The Philippines eventually (a bit further than it's indicated range, so I imagine some stops inbetween required, not a bad thing)... Another good presentation, I enjoyed much! Thanks... BTW, I'm torn between shooting for a sailing catamaran or rather something like this, it's good to compare through your walk-throughs... TC... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
@@GarnockReviews Not sure why you would need to be a surveyor to know if a window is leaking or not. I mentioned because of stains on the wood, could be from condensation or leaking.
@@GarnockReviews It could be worse, you could be from Newfoundland. At least I can understand you (to much Still Game watching and 1 Scottish grand mother). My grand mother had a very heavy Scottish accent. After a few hits to the back of the head, I was starting to understand what she was saying.
I’d like to see an actual bed in the master cabin, as opposed to a V-berth and a bit finer materials in the master head. A molded fiberglass tub and a vinyl curtain just don’t cut it, I would like to see a door on that shower. A tub on a yacht is utterly preposterous, I’ve seen sailboats with them too, it’s ridiculous. When are we bathing toddlers, when we’re heeled over or when we’re rolling around at anchor? Seriously, why…😂
My understanding is that this was one of the first examples of this model line. The later models either had an island bed, or the option of an island bed in the owner cabin. I personally would prefer an island bed, but at least the infill turned this vberth into a large bed for 2 adults in comfort 😉
A lot of these trawlers are single diesel. I believe all American Tugs and Nordic Tugs are single diesel. It reduces maintenance costs and helps improve the range.
Not sure I follow how the price has been jacked up. However, if you are serious about buying, you should make them an offer. Worse case scenario, the owner says no thank you 🤷♂️
All those cooking fumes in the saloon yuk! May as well have an open head there too. 50' is too small 70' is bare minimum for practically and comfort, (unless your a deformed gnome)
A lot depends on your plans for cruising. Most people looking at this boat are likely considering the loop. Once you start hitting 70ft, you restrict where you are able to go. As to the galley, I like that this one in particular has as many opening hatches and doors to keep those fumes at a minimum. Besides, my inner fat kid is all for the smell of bacon 🤪
I love it and I can afford it. How long would it take one to learn to operate this boat? I only have experience with under 22 feet boats. This thing seems intimidating. How do you even dock it? Anyway, it is nice to dream about family trips in this boat. Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It's actually easier than you think. You've got a power engine controlling the stern, and a powerful thruster controlling the bow, that you would grasp handling this one in no time. I'd recommend hiring a skipper for some own boat tuition and learn all the basics with experienced help by your side. In some cases, the owner would even help train a buyer since they know the boat best 🤠
She's getting a LOT of attention, but technically still available as of this afternoon. If you're interested in viewing, if you email me your contact info to Boats@GarnockReviews.com, I can have the listing broker reach out directly 😉
There's pros and cons to single vs twin. I personally like the fact you have as many access points to help maintain the engine either for checks, maintenance, or repairs.
Thanks Brian 🤠 if this was mine, I doubt I would use the flybridge much since that pilothouse is so well laid out. That being said, I love that it has the additional option of the flybridge for when you do want extra visibility / sunshine cruising 😎
@Marc Gatto I agree. I don't really understand enclosed skybridges when there is a lower helm. I'd rather have a softop flybridge so if you want enclosure, go to the pilot house.....if you want fresh air, go to the flybridge 🤠

Great walkaround....i didn't realize these had so little forward visibility from the flybridge. That pilothouse makes up for it though!
Thanks Brian 🤠 if this was mine, I doubt I would use the flybridge much since that pilothouse is so well laid out. That being said, I love that it has the additional option of the flybridge for when you do want extra visibility / sunshine cruising 😎
Softop FB is nice. Gives you options. Lovely vessel.
@Marc Gatto I agree. I don't really understand enclosed skybridges when there is a lower helm. I'd rather have a softop flybridge so if you want enclosure, go to the pilot house.....if you want fresh air, go to the flybridge 🤠
@@GarnockReviews I've had a look at her specs. Very tidy. If my 42' sport fishing boat was sold I would be down to Florida for a look!
Is this still available?
I know it's had a lot of attention but last I knew, she was still technically available.
