History
Marine Trader started operations in the 1968 and by the early '70's, was a major player in the burgeoning trawler market in the US. Their boats were produced at a number of different yards in Taiwan. Cheap labor and material costs along with skilled wood workers were the right combination for producing inexpensive trawlers overseas, that the American boater wanted to buy. By the end of the 1980's thousands of Marine Traders of all types where imported into the country. Today, these economical vessels remain very popular and give their owners a cost effective way to go cruising. Whether doing the Great Circle Loop, cruising the coast or relaxing in the Bahamas, there is a Marine Trader model to suit your needs. The 44 LaBelle was produced, under contract by Bestway Marine for Marine Trader, from the mid to late 1980's. Her cockpit made for easier and more secure docking and gave a new dimension to boat; now access to the water and even a little fishing could be done more comfortably.Construction
The LaBelle 44 is a hand laid fiberglass boat constructed of polyester resin, E-glass fiberglass cloth, mat & chopped-strand fibers with coring materials of plywood and hardwoods. The hull has a solid fiberglass bottom and hull sides. The longitudinal stringers are fiberglass encapsulated wood and the transverse bulkheads are plywood which are glassed to the hull. The deck house is also a molded fiberglass laminate with plywood used to reinforce high stress areas such as the decks.Vessel Walk Thru
