Gulfstar created many Trawler models but the largest production model was the 53'.   Less than 10 models were reportedly built between 1975 and 1976.   The construction had a trawler body built onto the deep round- bildge and full-displacement hull that was used for the Gulfstar 53' Motorsailer (Sailboat).   The GS 53 Trawler is reported to be very sea-friendly with an easy motion due to the low center of gravity - stabilized in part by the lower location of the fuel tanks.

Belowdecks is a 3-stateroom layout.   It came with a choice of twin-berths or a walkaround double in the aft cabin.   It has a very spacious dinette and galley area and features a teak interior.
