We're selling it after many years because our son moved to Seattle, and our daughter to AK. Maybe get something out your way!

Islander is out if storage and for sale back on her mooring in Belfast, Me.

Bristol Trawler Islander Owner Info I'm the third owner, and have had "Islander" since 2004. She is a great boat, and we've had her from the Bay of Fundy (Canada) down to the Florida keys. One child is in AK, and the other in Seattle. They're not coming back, so it seems we'll have to head that...

Islander is a well maintained 1973 Bristol 42 Trawler for sale in Belfast, Maine. Designed by the highly regarded naval architectural firm, Eldridge-McGinnis, this full displacement trawler is both beautiful inside and out, with high sides, walk around decks and a large deckhouse. She not only...

My favorite, ... My last Boat #4

All sold - thanks for looking!

Powerboat Bible is taken!

Still hidden under the bed!:)

We're moving from the house of 20+ years and its time to start letting go of "stuff". Got some classics here and all reasonably priced. First one to make a claim on a book, gets it. I'll charge you exactly what USPS or UPS charge me to ship it/them to you. Enough good reading here to get you...

Thanks All - great ideas and a lot to pack into this initial foray. We probably won't get our daughter out of Alaska, but it looks like an easy jump up to visit. Its been said the coast of Maine/Nova Scotia and the Washington/BC areas are the ones to see. Done one, cant wait to try the other...

Hi Group! Its taken 25 years of cruising Maine's coastline for it to start getting stale (Penobscot Bay IS a jewel). However we have one child in Seattle and the other in Alaska, and the bucket list includes exploring the PNW. We're flying into Seattle the beginning of May and would sure...

Passagemaker mags Thanks Bob, I'll bundle them up and send them on their way. They're a great way to get through the cold Winter months, dreaming of getting back on the water

Hey all, we're beginning the process of moving full time onto the boat. I don't need to drag these magazines around anymore, but hate to take them to the recycling center as there are some great articles in them. First one in can have them for the price of UPS shipping. I'm in zip 04915.

Just had their 40th Birthday! They have nice big access ports so access is no problem. Cleaned every 10 and thoroughly inspected on the 5s, with the occasional peek in between.

Thanks Brooksie, I have a good bit of room on the forward mounts - (picture attched) so I might be able to use more modern mounts forward and old school similarly rated mounts aft? Or would that just create a lot more problems. Thanks

Thanks Eric!

The old engine mounts are tired - time to replace. Cat 3208. What says the group on replacing the mounts without lifting the engine? I was considering raising diagonal corners all the way up, lowering another corner all the way down, which would theoretically lift the 4th corner up enough to...

Try Rick & Karen Miles, captains of the Wanderbird. www.wanderbirdcruises.com/ They have been running up into the aArctic for years out of Belfast, Maine. Good folks who will get you some excellent information.

Thanks Guys - I pressurized the system and found an air leak in one of the tank selector valves. Whew! Thanks for the suggestions - you guys have saved lots of sailor's bacon over the years - appreciated!

Guys - here's one that has me head scratching. I think I've got some air in the suction side leading into the fuel filters - 5psi on start up and then drops to 0 psi. The engine is a 3208 NA 210 hp (4000 hrs). The 200 gallon tanks are pretty low(60 gallons between the two sides on the sight...

Walt - Glad it turned out well - Can you share with us how you were able to annotate the chart data ? The directional arrows are great, and I can see where we all may benefit from being able to mark up chart images that way

Duvie, there is no doubt that pressed products are harder to cut and manage through your sewing machine. We usually mask both sides of the glass before pushing it through the machine, and never leave the tape on for more than 24hrs. It is brutally expensive material and you want to ensure you...

We use both OSea and Strataglass 40 for our customers. We like the Osea as there seem to be fewer manufacturing blemishes in the pressed sheets. Lesser glass is rolled, OSea & Stratglass are pressed acrylics. Both are quality products, with great clarity. OSea is far more forgiving if you touch...
