The boat is listed as being a project, however it has great potential. As seen in the photos there is some minor surface rust, however the seller states the hull is structurally sound.
The outdrives look to be in good operational condition and show no damage. The cabin is cluttered but shows no excessive wear and tear. The helm looks neat and functional.
The bridge will need the arch installed and the deck could use new paint.
The forward head needs cosmetic work. The interior needs some light cleaning and cosmetic repairs.
We have not inspected the boat and recommends checking the boat for yourself or to hire a surveyor to verify the condition.

***SALE PENDING*** Steel Hull Trawler!!! Has Great Potential!!!
***Please see the detailed video***
This Lotus Trawler 52 is a great shallow water boat. Is has been used most of its life in freshwater on the Great Lakes. The boat drafts 3'6" making it ideal for cruising where most boats its size cannot reach. The rugged all steel hull has a centerline keel for stability and to protect the outdrives from grounding. The stern of the hull flattens out providing an extra stabile platform.
The boat is currently on the hard but was just motored down the waterway 50 miles to its current boatyard a few weeks ago.
The boat has twin 2018 Volvo Penta D4 diesel engines matched with Volvo Penta Duo-prop outdrives. The engine room is located beneath the steps in the stern. With the 18-foot beam, there is plenty of room inside.
A covered overhang from the massive upper deck surrounds the cabin, providing protection from rain and shade. A large auxiliary tank is mounted on the bow for extra fuel storage.
The spacious cabin has plenty of windows and a sliding glass door to the aft, for easy entry.
The helm is well laid out. The captain has twin Volvo Penta engine control LCD screens, a VHF, and a large Garmin 12" MFD overhead with radar. The boat has autopilot and electric steering.
There are two cabins and two heads below. For convenience, there is an onboard washer/dryer.
Three solar panels have been installed, and two new panels are still in boxes. The Kubota 11 kW generator provides plenty of power for all your electrical needs.
