**1978 Hudson Coaster 39 - A Classic DeFever Trawler Ready for New Adventures**
Some boats are built for weekends. Others are built for journeys. This 1978 Hudson Coaster 39, designed by the legendary Arthur DeFever, belongs firmly in the second category. With her timeless trawler lines, solid fiberglass construction, and practical layout, she is equally at home exploring the protected waters of the Salish Sea, embarking on extended coastal cruises, or serving as a comfortable liveaboard.
Stepping aboard, the spacious aft deck offering a welcoming outdoor living space with room to relax while taking in the scenery. Above, the expansive flybridge provides outstanding visibility from the upper helm, generous seating for family and friends, and the comfort of an Isinglass enclosure for year-round cruising. Solar panels quietly supplement the vessel's electrical needs, while a freshwater wash-down system adds convenience after a day on the water.
Inside, the salon is bright and inviting, flowing naturally into a practical galley that keeps the cook connected with guests underway or at anchor. The warm, traditional interior reflects the enduring appeal of a true cruising trawler, offering generous living space for extended time aboard.
Below, accommodations are thoughtfully arranged with private staterooms forward and aft. The forward cabin features twin V-berths and its own en suite head complete with shower, sink, and marine toilet, making it an ideal retreat for guests. The owner's stateroom aft provides a comfortable double berth, vanity with mirror, and a private en suite head with separate shower, creating a spacious and relaxing sanctuary after a day of cruising.
The vessel has been thoughtfully upgraded with modern navigation electronics, including Garmin multifunction displays at both helms, Garmin radar, autopilot, chartplotter, and a Fusion marine stereo system. Her electrical system has also been modernized with lithium batteries managed by a comprehensive Victron energy system featuring MPPT solar charging, DC-to-DC charging, a multi-stage inverter with remote operation, Cerbo GX monitoring, and dedicated starting battery support through a separate inverter. Twin 100-watt solar panels help keep the batteries charged while at anchor, enhancing independence away from the dock.
Additional cruising conveniences include exterior canvas window covers to protect the salon from the elements, an onboard generator for dependable AC power, and a chest freezer located in the lazarette, which will require compressor service before returning to operation.
For the boater seeking an honest, capable, and unmistakably classic DeFever-designed trawler, this Hudson Coaster 39 represents an opportunity to own a proven cruising platform with modern electrical upgrades and the character that only a traditional trawler can provide. Whether your plans include leisurely weekends, extended passages, or embracing life afloat, she is ready to begin her next chapter.
