    Ocean Alexander 423

    I appreciate the feedback. I am going to try to run outside weather permitting at least from Jacksonville to South Carolina and then again from Cape May to New York. Capt.Pete

    Ocean Alexander 423

    I am purchasing an OA 423 and will be bringing it up the AICW from Florida to New York. I am having difficulty finding out fuel consumption on the Cat 3208 NA. If I run at 1500 rpm giving me about 8 knots what should I expect for fuel consumption/hour on each engine or for both. Thanks for any...

    Yanmar 370hp

    So far, so good. I like what I am hearing from you guys! I have requested records of all work done on this vessel by the present and past owners. If they indicate regular maintenance and any repairs and the survey turns out well it is a buy. Thank you. Capt. Pete

    Yanmar 370hp

    Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it. I have requested all service records from the seller, including any major work done and who did it (preferably a professional). I will also have a diesel survey done apart from the regular survey. I have been told these Yanmars can run well up...

    Yanmar 370hp

    I am thinking of purchasing a Mainship 430 (2002) with Yanmar 370HP. I have always had good luck with Yanmar but only small ones on a sailboat. These have 3320 hours on them and I will obviously have a comprehensive diesel survey done. Is there anything in particular I should look for or know...

    Mainship perhaps Beneteau

    I have decided on a Benereau Swift 42. Older models fit the budget and those I see on line appear to be well taken care of. I previously owned a Beneteau Oceanis 40 (sail) and loved it. I realize it may take awhile to find one, but willing to wait.

    Mainship perhaps Beneteau

    Well, time goes on and I have expanded my search for a trawler. Previously I was looking for a Mainship 40 but now realize a 390 or a 410 would work. My other half would like me to consider a Beneteau in the 40 foot range. I told her it was most likely beyond our means but would consider one...

    Wanted - Mainship 43

    I have preciously expressed an interest in purchasing a Mainship 40 (still not out of the question) but realize a 43 would be a better match. My timeframe is several months out due to a sale of our house in Florida. Location is important as well, preferring to find a vessel located in the...

    Hershine 42 (1987)

    Currently looking at a Hershine 42. She has recent barrier coat, bottom paint, awl grip hull and decks. However, has been on the hard for about 20 years. She is powered by twin Perkins diesels. Any information about Hershine and/or Perkins would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Capt. Pete

    Intro

    Just joined and am anxious to pick your brains! I have been a licensed captain for over 35 years operating sailing charters. Yes, I too am going to power! I am in the market for a trawler (40 - 50') that I can use as a charter and cruising on my own. I like the Mainship 40 and would love to...
