40' Bestway 1987

The Bestway LaBelle 40 represents the classic Taiwanese-built trawler-style motor yachts that became popular throughout the 1980s for their substantial construction, traditional styling and exceptional use of interior space. Built by Bestway Marine and marketed under several names, the LaBelle combines a solid fiberglass modified-V hull with a deep keel, generous side decks and extensive teak joinery. The design remains popular with cruising owners looking for the accommodations and range of a larger motor yacht in a manageable 40-foot platform. This 40 LaBelle offers an excellent cruising layout built around a large salon, lower helm, forward guest accommodations and a spacious aft master stateroom. The full-width enclosed aft sundeck creates an outstanding additional living and entertaining area, while the flybridge provides seating for six or more. Twin Volvo Penta TAMD diesels provide economical direct-drive propulsion, complemented by both bow and stern thrusters for maneuverability. The boat has also been extensively equipped for cruising with modern Raymarine navigation electronics, radar, AIS, autopilot, 800 watts of solar, a 600Ah lithium house bank, 3000-watt inverter/charger, Onan generator and multiple dinghy handling options.
