At a distance it can be difficult to distinguish one trawler from another or, if you recognize the brand, it’s often a guess to determine the correct size of the model.

Then you see one that is beautifully different. Captivating. A time suspending design.

The Jay Benford Florida Bay Coasters are part river boat, part waterfront home and completely solid underway. Built in the US and constructed out of steel, this is a stout and sturdy trawler that is surprisingly nimble underway.

RED HEAD is as famous as she is distinctive. There have been a handful of owners over time, most notably the music recording artist, Billy Joel. The current owners are very active captains who have owned multiple boats and been involved in the marine industry for decades.

Several years ago, RED HEAD was donated to the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY. Knowing that the institute had to sit on her for some time before they could sell, the current owners kept their eye on her, letting the Academy know they were keenly interested.  It was a noble pursuit that kept them excited after selling their last trawler, a DeFever 53. RED HEAD was quickly put under contract and had a positive survey.

It was also obvious that to meet their standards, the new owners were going to have to commit to a lot of restoration, improvements and upgrades. All told, over $1.0 million dollars were lavished over a two-year period before serious cruising could commence and the spending has continued to address everything that pops up.  For full time cruising, this is truly a remarkable waterfront home afloat.  Amazingly, she is owned, maintained, and operated by a married couple with three dogs.

Being knowledgeable boat owners, they know that they will never be able to recapture the funds they have bestowed upon her, but that’s OK.  They have done what was needed and more and this will make it that much easier for the next owners to start off in a great position.  Trying to quantify the value for the size and condition it is easy to see this is an extraordinary value.

RED HEAD has cruised from Maine to the Florida Keys, using the ICW and traveling offshore. Visually she may appear “top heavy” but that is an incorrect perception.  She is graceful through the water and surprisingly fuel efficient with her twin Caterpillar 3208T’s engines pushing 200,000 pounds.  She enjoys cruising at 9.1 knots with an average burn of 4 gallons per hour from each engine.

The current owners have never had more fun with a boat, the experiences have been wonderful. The eastern seaboard is her stomping grounds, and the Bahamas are her favorite getaway.  Now, after 5+ years with RED HEAD, and having previously cruised for decades on other boats, they are ready to take a break and are moving ashore.  The timing is great for the next owner.  RED HEAD is in exceptional condition, and this is the optimum time for them to sell and a buyer to step up.

Would you like to wander about, exploring, drifting, puttering, or to take off on a long passage?  RED HEAD makes this all possible with spectacular views through windows and on deck making sure that being aboard never grows old.

MACHINERY DECK

MACHINERY CHAMBERS

Through a door forward of the galley you descend a short flight of stairs to arrive in the center or main chamber of the machinery spaces. This central location provides immediate access to the two engine rooms, which are isolated outboard behind closed doors.  There are four collision bulkheads in this lower area.

The layout of equipment was focused on easy access to make inspections and service convenient.  In the furthest chamber aft contains the autopilot and steering assembly.  There is also a hydraulic pack and ram to operate the Poop deck lowering ramp.  Throughout the machinery area there are water sensors that alert the AnyWater alarm system.  Serious effort by the current owners has been lavished to make this deck level clean, fresh and dry.

The second chamber forward (pump room or tank deck) includes freshwater tanks, water maker and chilled water air-conditioning as well as batteries and the water heater tank. Beneath the stairs are two inverter chargers and the Racor filters for fuel filtering.  In the main chamber, a fuel manifold is installed inside a work surface that includes a vice.  Forward to port in the main chamber are the laundry appliances – full-sized clothes washer and dryer. There are electrical breakers and display panels.  Duplex Racor fuel filters are located inboard and outside of each engine room.  There is a Northern Lights 25 kW generator sharing the space with each Caterpillar main engine.

An impressive tool chest with drawers completes this chamber. Going forward through the walk through collision bulkhead brings you to the cargo bay.  Above, two huge doors open hydraulically to allow for the cargo boom above to move supplies. The cargo deck has previously housed a car and two motorcycles.  There is a sink to port and this entire chamber is methodically organized with bins full of spares that are neatly labeled and ready for most projects that may come up.  At the front of the cargo bay is a set of steps that leads up to the Forecastle crew quarters.

LISTING BROKERS COMMENTS:

RED HEAD is massive.  She is a huge house on the water as comfortable offshore in the breeze as she is anchored in a shallow cove.  Her condition is amazing.  You will not believe you are on a boat that was launched many years ago, she is lovingly cared for and kept fresh through active use.

A detailed 22-page inventory list is available by request which goes into greater detail to identify the incredible amount of gear included.

She has been rated for commercial charters and safety is at the forefront.  There are four collision bulkheads in the lower deck.  An incredible series of bilge pumps and the AnyWater sensor keeps the crew alert to the slightest water intrusion.

The interior layout is practical and the heft of the boat keeps her stable at anchor and underway.  The great room with saloon and galley is a wonderful gathering place for preparing meals, dining or relaxing to television and music.

The interior stairs lead up to the mid deck with guest stateroom (office inside) and a separate head and shower.  Going up the stairs to the next level you reach the pilothouse forward and owner cabin aft. The owner cabin is amazing and the pilothouse has the necessary equipment for safe navigating.

The decks surrounding the house give you multiple outside walkways and the sundeck up top is a huge area.  The profile with the cargo deck gives her a very salty and serious look. The forecastle with foredeck atop and crew quarters below is an ideal use of space. The cargo deck opens up with two large doors to reveal the machinery deck.

Each engine and generator is secure inside its’ own room. The ability to transit the machinery deck chambers from stern to bow also gives you easy access for service and maintenance. The array of tools and spare parts in inventory is beyond comparison.

The fit and finish inside and out is a testament to the care the current owners have given RED HEAD.  For a home on the water, that will travel with surprising agility, there really is nothing like this available. She deserves your consideration and we invite you to get in touch with listing broker, Jeff Merrill to schedule your personal viewing.
