PLEASE CONTACT MASON NIHMEY - OTTAWA 

Known as the Hugh Huff Custom Raised Pilothouse Trawler "Mischief," this unique 47-foot custom cruiser reflects the vision of an owner who prioritized quality craftsmanship, conservative engineering, and true passagemaking capability above production efficiency. Built around a proven displacement trawler design and supported by original floor plans, construction photographs, and build documentation, Mischief showcases the attention to detail and thoughtful execution that only a custom-built yacht can offer. While her exact build history continues to be researched, her quality of construction and carefully considered design are evident throughout every aspect of the vessel.

Completed in 2009, the 47' Custom Raised Pilothouse Trawler "Mischief" embodies everything experienced cruisers appreciate about a true displacement yacht. Her efficient hull form delivers exceptional fuel economy, comfortably cruising at 8–10 knots while consuming approximately just 3 gallons per hour, providing remarkable range and economy for extended adventures. Wide protected side decks, a commanding raised pilothouse with outstanding visibility, generous beam, and thoughtfully engineered systems make her equally capable of navigating inland waterways, the Great Loop, or extended coastal passages. Inside, the spacious salon, practical galley, two private staterooms, and two heads create an exceptionally comfortable liveaboard environment, while nearly seven feet of headroom throughout reflects the custom nature of her design.

Mischief has already written the kind of cruising story most yachts only dream about. Originally launched in Ontario, she spent the majority of her life in fresh water before successfully completing an impressive 1,750-mile voyage from Canada to North Carolina. Her travels included Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake Erie, the Welland Canal, Lake Ontario, the Thousand Islands, the St. Lawrence River, the Richelieu River, Lake Champlain, the Hudson River, around Cape May, through Chesapeake Bay, and south via the Intracoastal Waterway—navigating more than 40 locks with confidence along the way. Continually upgraded throughout her ownership, she now benefits from a state-of-the-art Garmin navigation suite, worldwide vessel tracking capability, modern electronics, and meticulously maintained mechanical systems. Complete with her original design drawings, construction photographs, and build documentation, Mischief represents a truly rare opportunity to own a custom-built passagemaker whose history, craftsmanship, and proven cruising pedigree are every bit as impressive as her capabilities.
