Stock #446543 - 1968 Willard, hand laid fiberglass. Navy Admirals Barge on USS Ranger. Full galley, aft queen state room w/ head. Any weather.Introducing a 1968 Willard 40' Double Cabin Trawler - Admiral-Class Heritage Meets Off-Grid Capability.Experience true nautical heritage aboard this rare 1968 Willard Double Cabin 40' Trawler, originally built as a Navy Admiral's Barge for the USS Ranger. With a solid, hand-laid fiberglass hull and a classic full-displacement trawler design, this vessel blends historical pedigree with serious offshore capability.... (read more) Refitted for reliable cruising, she's powered by a Detroit Diesel 6-71 paired with an Allison 2:1 transmission--offering 240 horsepower, economical performance (just 3.5 GPH at 10-12 knots), and fewer than 700 hours on the drivetrain. A 200-amp alternator and a 2500-watt inverter support a robust 110V and 12V system. House power is supplied via four 6V AGM L16 solar batteries charged by dual 120-watt solar panels. Additional Group 31 batteries handle starting and house loads, all tied in with a Perko selector switch.Onboard amenities include a full galley with microwave, instant hot water heater, and 110V single-burner cooktop. The layout features a forward V-berth and an aft queen stateroom with its own private head. While there's no shower onboard, the system includes two 75-gallon freshwater tanks and dual 10-gallon black tanks, with greywater draining overboard.Ashore or off-grid, this trawler is self-reliant. There's no generator to maintain--solar handles the essentials. Shore power (110V) is available via the selector switch when docked. For adventure beyond the mothership, she comes with a hard-bottom Achilles dinghy easily deployed using the lifting davit with a Warn winch.Recently hauled and surveyed (March 2025), she's ready for her next chapter. Whether you're seeking a full-time liveaboard, a long-range cruiser, or a piece of American naval history, this 1968 Willard is a proven performer in any weather.
