1998 Camano 31 – 2021 Yanmar Repower – 15 knot Fast Cruise
Freshwater Kept Under Cover for Most of Her Life
This 1998 Camano 31 is a fine example of a well looked after boat that we’ve encountered, benefiting from a complete propulsion system replacement in 2021 and spending the majority of her life in freshwater under cover. The result is a vessel that presents well for her age and offers a rare combination of proven Camano design, power upgrade with only 300 hours, and exceptional overall condition.
In 2021, the original powertrain was removed and replaced with a Yanmar 4LV230 diesel engine, ZF transmission, new shaft, dripless shaft seal, cutlass bearing, exhaust system, and associated components. Today the entire propulsion package has approximately 300 hours, providing the next owner with the confidence and performance of a much newer yacht without the price tag of a newer vessel.
The Camano 31 has long been regarded as one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier pocket trawlers. Built in Vancouver by Camano Marine, she combines the economy and comfort of a traditional trawler with the ability to cruise comfortably in the low teens when desired. Her full keel protects the running gear, improves tracking, and inspires confidence when exploring the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, and the Inside Passage.
Step aboard and you’ll immediately notice a boat that has been well cared for. The interior is clean and inviting, with updated upholstery throughout. The engine room is tidy and well organized, reflecting conscientious ownership. A recent marine survey rated the vessel as being in “Above Average Condition,” with the surveyor specifically commenting on the clean, uncluttered engine room.
The cabin sole has been upgraded with a durable, marine-grade vinyl flooring that provides the appearance of wood while offering excellent practicality and easy maintenance. While it differs from a traditional teak and holly sole, it is a functional choice that complements a vessel whose overall condition, thoughtful upgrades, and recent Yanmar repower make it a standout in today’s Camano 31 market.
For buyers searching for a turnkey cruiser, the combination of a modern Yanmar diesel, low propulsion hours, freshwater history, covered moorage, and the legendary Camano hull makes this a rare opportunity.
