Aft-cabin sundeck cruiser with galley-down two-stateroom layout and very large full-width sundeck. A single Lehman was standard; many have twin 135 hp Lehmans (7-8 knots). The Marine Trader 44 Yachtfish is the same boat with a cockpit.
Known problems for this model
-
Window and deck leaks typical of Taiwan trawlers deck
Check for staining below window sills and soft spots in the decks and sundeck; water intrusion into cored decks and superstructure is the most common big-ticket repair on this class of boat.pacificyachting.com
Engines & parts
Ford Lehman 135 / SP135 (2725E) parts: good
Factory standard engine — you entered “Ford Lehman 135 (single)”
Based on the later Ford 'Dover' 2725E 6.2 L naturally aspirated six (Ford built the Dover series 1982–1994, then Otosan/Dovertech to 2005). Parts are sold by the same Lehman specialists as the 120; American Diesel lists spare-parts sheets and Go2marine stocks cooling parts, heat exchangers and elbows for the 135. Do not assume 120 (2715E) and 135 (2725E) internals interchange.
