(53') 1977 Alaskan Raised Pilothouse

She’s back in San Francisco Bay as of June 2025 after owners cruised her around the Channel Islands for the winter season. Had a successful trip back to San Rafael where she’s getting her annual beauty treatment then heading to Sacramento Delta for summer. 

MOHOGAMY is an Alaskan trawler designed by Dair Long and she was the last 53 ft wood hull built by American Marine. A gorgeous raised pilothouse trawler with classic lines she is loaded with features for offshore cruising! With wide side decks, a spacious flybridge, an abundance of lazarette storage and a distinctive Portuguese bridge, she is ideal for those looking for their next adventure. This vessel has a full-displacement hull with a 6' draft. The "Captains Quarters" stateroom is aft of the pilothouse with a sliding window to overlook the centerline helm, expansive windows, settee and chart table. Two large belowdeck staterooms with the owners cabin walk around queen, private head and standup shower. The large V-Berth opens to a second head located at the bottom of the stairs.

The interior is beautifully finished with grain matched teak woodwork, cabinetry and parquet floor. The galley and salon are aft on the deckhouse level that open to a large covered cockpit.

Twin Lehman diesels offer maneuverability and economical performance. A fuel capacity of 1100 gallons is ideal for West Coast cruising from Alaska to Mexico

Refinished Floors in Salon, Galley, Helm and Captains Quarters is a must see.

A lot of love and care went into this refit. Work was completed by Myriad Marine and Svendsen’s Bay Marine Boat Works. This boat currently has full coverage insurance using the robust documentation of this refit and most recent surveys. The survey was re attended by a SAMS surveyor and updated in September 2024 after boat went back into the water and returned to the show dock. She’s ready for the next phase of her long and storied life.

She’ll make a great cruiser or live aboard for you!
