Zusammenfassung
Trader 535 yachts make excellent safe cruising motor yachts and because of their design, also provide very spacious and comfortable living space. Decks areas are all wide and large with heavy SS rails for safety. Boat handling is very positive due to twin screws and a powerful bow thruster.
With a Cat A hull, powered by Twin Yanmar 500hp Turbo charged diesel inboards on shaft drives, the yacht can be confidently cruised economically at moderate speeds typically between 8 to 13kn. Maximum speed is 19kn.
This particular Trader 535 Signature was built in 2003 and initially used as a demonstrator until 2007 and is the three cabin layout with the large aft master suite.
This yacht has been built and maintained to a very high standard and is in very good order having been owned by marine professionals for last 2 owners. Sailed mainly on the West Coast of Scotland, the yacht has enjoyed extensive servicing and upgrades. She was prepared ready for a European trip which has been postponed due to family issues. There are full electronic records available for all recent works and servicing.
Madadh is MCA Part 1 registered and VAT paid. Built and equipped to a very high specification, viewing is strongly recommended.
