1985 Custom Aluminum Barge

About This Vessel

This 1985 Custom Aluminum Barge, measures 40 ft, and is located in Virgin Gorda, powered by 2x Suzuki DF300 300.00HP.

Worldwide Yacht Sales is pleased to present Sea Truck, a commercial-grade aluminum barge originally built for the military in 1985 and fully retrofitted and customized in Louisiana in 2024 as a cargo vessel.She has just been repowered with twin 2023 Suzuki DF300 four-stroke outboards — quieter, cleaner and more fuel-efficient than the previous two-strokes. Below deck, the cargo hold is refrigerated and insulated, holding about 38°F with 92°F outside, making her ideal for cold-chain freight, produce, seafood and provisioning runs. A removable 4' x 6' x 8' refrigerated box adds deck reefer capacity.Rated for approximately 10 tons, she offers about 1,000 ft³ of below-deck storage (12 full-size pallets, just over 4' headroom). A professionally overhauled Morgan Model 80 hydraulic knuckle crane (55,000 ft-lb, 400° rotation, Braden BG6 5,000 lb winch) loads and unloads without a dock crane. The 6' x 9' climate-controlled wheelhouse has A/C, a microwave and a mini-fridge, and a 12 kW Kubota generator powers it all.USCG documented and under 15 gross tons, she can carry cargo without the requirements of a USCG inspected vessel (buyer to verify for intended use). Great for island freight, marine construction support, dive/salvage support, aquaculture, or as a utility work boat.Contact Traver Smith at Worldwide Yacht Sales: (813) 404-9867 · traver@worldwideyachts.netSpecificationsYear: 1985 (refit 2024)Builder / Model: Custom Aluminum BargeLOA / Beam: 40' (42' overall) / 12'Displacement: 16,000 lbHull: AluminumTonnage: 13 GRT, USCG documentedEngines: 2x 2023 Suzuki DF300 300 hp four-stroke outboardsGenerator: Kubota 12 kW V1505Fuel: 110 gal gas; 30 gal diesel (generator)Cargo: ~10 tons; 1,000 ft³ below deck, 12 palletsRefrigeration: Insulated refrigerated hold + removable 4'x6'x8' reefer boxCrane: Morgan Model 80 hydraulic knuckle, Braden BG6 winchElectronics: 10" Garmin plotter, Airmar P79S, iCom VHFBilge: (8) 1100 GPH auto pumpsSafety: 4-person life raft, life ring, extinguisherLocation: Virgin Gorda, British Virgin IslandsPrice: $219,995Worldwide Yacht Sales offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee their accuracy.
