BOAT CONVERSIONS ARE COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES
Finding the right boat at the right price is no easy task.
Local knowledge on the boats, owners and builders is essential to
make the right choice so that the conversion is a cost-effective alternative.
To help you through this, we will do all the work for you.
This includes the search, survey, cost estimates and concept drawings.
We will also do the conversion, upgrades, modifications, sea trail,
prepare documentation, importation into the United States and delivery to
any US seaport of your choice.
This 40' steel boat was used for commercial and charter diving.
Presently under conversion, this surveyed hull with newer engine made it a
good buy and money well spent. Refitted with some newer systems, wiring,
windows and doors, equipment, interior and a smart paint job,
the new owners will have a "go anywhere" live aboard trawler at about 1/3 the
replacement value.
This 42' boat is retired from the Canadian Coast Guard. A special buy if you want a
fast and stable boat. Recently repowered with new engines. It has jet drives so there are
no propellers or rudders to foul with fishing floats, safe for swimmers, shallow draft and
and beachable. Four large bunks forward with dining table,
head, and large wheelhouse, can easily be cleaned and repaired and made into a 30 knot
Sport Boat that can be used for private or charter diving and fishing.
The 42' above, brand new, was also available in a fast live aboard coastal cruiser.
Forward cabin can be rebuilt into a private cabin with island queen bed, head and shower stall.
By lengthening the wheelhouse you make room for a spacious saloon and galley and
still have a large open deck for fishing and lounging.
Complete rebuild, refit and painted for less than 1/2 the replacement cost.
"Good deals" found in other provinces or even countries can be moved easily
to our shops in Nova Scotia. We can arrange for transportation and prepare all necessary
documents required to move a boat across Canada or from the United States.
Presently Nova Scotia has an abundance of used and inexpensive fishing vessels
in all sorts of configuration and size from 30 feet to 50 feet.
These are solidly built to tough building standards and outfitted with
equipment and machinery rated for commercial duty.
Most of these boats are wide-bodied hulls with excellent superior stability
and roll damping qualities.
This translates into a comfortable riding boat and makes cruising more enjoyable.
Boat conversions is an affordable alternative.
Using a fishing boat for pleasure is not a new idea.
Ever wonder where the name "Lobster Yacht" originated?
The cost of the conversions can be inexpensive. It all depends on your expectations and needs.
Most commercial boats are already equipped with some sleeping arrangements - bunks with head,
galley, place to eat, machinery, equipment and electronics.
Find a good buy and it may be as simple as a very good cleaning, painting, some repairs
and maintenance. Even with a more modern and extensive refit with modifications
and upgrades you will still end up with a better sea boat than
most new or used production pleasure boats and for less money.
A commercial boat converted to pleasure has been a favorite alternative
for many boaters and offers good value.
If your budget is limited or you have a fixed cruising income
and need a solid salty seaworthy character boat, a "conversion"
is a viable and economical option.
You will spend less money on the boat, have more value in your boat
and have more money for cruising.
