KATAHARA SHIPYARD FISHING VESSEL Used Motor Boats for Sale in Japan

This 53ft aluminum alloy vessel, launched in 1994, was built by Katahara Shipbuilding (Aichi Prefecture) and operated as an offshore gill netting vessel, but her fishing vessel registration has been cancelled and she is now JCI registered.

The selling point of this property is the aluminum alloy hull and newer engine. The engine was replaced with a new 650hp engine in January 2017 and currently has only 2082 hours of operation.

Overall, there are some light stains commensurate with its age, but the exterior and decks could be repainted to look different.

Both the front and rear decks have a flat floor, and the work space is large and flat, so it is safe and has plenty of storage space, fish tanks, and ice room, so it would be interesting to use as a fishing boat.
