1987 48’ DeFever Tri-Cabin Trawler Walkthrough | Classic Loop-Ready Cruiser in Florida

Welcome back to the harbor! ⚓
Today I’m in Gulfport, Florida, touring a 1987 48-foot DeFever Tri-Cabin trawler — a classic Taiwanese-built cruiser that’s been well cared for and set up for long-term cruising.
This DeFever has completed the Great Loop, features twin Lehman diesels, stabilizers, generator, washer/dryer, and classic craftsmanship you just don’t see anymore. From the huge aft deck to the flybridge visibility, warm wood interior, and three-cabin layout, this boat is exactly why older trawlers still make sense today.
