Lochin 33 Fast Fisher

Highly regarded in the commercial marine world, the Lochin 33 offers a superb combination of excellent sea keeping, low maintenance and economy, whilst being highly capable of both offshore cruising or exploring inland waterways thanks to the protected single shaft propulsion. Chosen by the RNLI as the basis for the Brede class lifeboat, they are a great alternative to similar models from Nelson, Aqua-Star, Aquabell, Mitchell, or Newhaven. 'Trinitas' has previously served as a commercial survey vessel and is well suited to everything from weekend cruising and fishing to diving or providing support for other watersports such as paddleboarding and kayaking with the relevant equipment and coding carried out if operating commercially. She is fitted with twin Perkins M215C engines (new 2005) which appear to be in very good condition, these engines are renowned for their reliability and smooth running and allow for economical cruising at 16-18kts. Her inventory includes diesel heating, electric capstan winch, bow thruster, and comprehensive navigation equipment. Early viewing of this versatile motorboat is highly recommended!

Shaft drives via Twin Disc gearboxes (overhauled including new output shaft seals 2019) to bronze propellers. Maxpower CT80 Duo 24V bow thruster (new 2019). 

The engines were replaced in 2005, are in very good cosmetic condition, were serviced in early 2022 and have also had both fuel pumps serviced later on in the season. The M215C engines are highly regarded for their smooth running, low noise levels, economy, and durability. Although capable of high-speed passage making, cruising at a displacement speed of around 8kts can offer surprisingly economic cruising.
