1982 Californian 34 LRC

This 1982 Californian 34 LRC, known as "TBI SURVIVOR," is a U.S.-built trawler with a documented history in the Great Lakes, having been sold new in Lake Erie. The vessel features a solid fiberglass, modified-V hull designed for stability and efficient long-range cruising. The interior utilizes the popular two-stateroom layout, finished with mahogany woodwork to maximize usable space for a 34-foot vessel.vPropulsion is provided by twin 80hp Perkins diesel engines. The vessel is equipped with a generator (replaced in 2005), an air conditioning and heating system, and a Raymarine electronics suite. Exterior features include a Bimini top for the flybridge and a recently installed windlass. A 10-foot tender powered by a 4hp outboard is also included with the sale. The vessel is currently available in St. Clair Shores, MI. The current owner of one year is selling the boat due to health considerations. Please contact the Dunigan Marine Group, LLC for further inquiries or to schedule a showing.

POWERBOAT GUIDE DESCRIPTION: Traditionally styled and showing a distinct trawler profile, the Californian 34 is a versatile family cruiser with exceptional low-speed economy and—when equipped with the right engines—true planing-speed performance. Her solid fiberglass modified-V hull has a fine entry forward that gradually levels out into nearly flat after sections for stability and greater speed. While most trawler-style boats were imported from Asia (Taiwan, specifically) during the 1970s and ’80s, the Californians were among the few to have been built in the U.S. Wide side decks give her a rather narrow salon, although the two staterooms below come as a surprise on such a small boat. (While a single-stateroom layout was available, the two-stateroom arrangement was more popular.) Dark mahogany woodwork is applied throughout the interior. Outside, the aft deck area is large enough for a few deck chairs, and there’s seating for a few guests on the large flybridge. Cruising speed is about 7 knots with standard 85hp Perkins diesels.
