Where are you located?

Interested. What’s your contact info? Also, when can I see it? Josh

It was nice speaking with you yesterday Steve. I hope everything works out. The Bluewater 40 Trawler is a great find, especially when they are well kept. Here is some of the original paperwork found when I purchased by Bluewater years back. Take care, Josh

Another vote for Bluewater 40. Usually 1 or 2 will be for sale around your budget.

I'm interested. I'll be in San Diego next week. Josh 714-658-0002

Al, PM me your phone# and I'll give you a call. -Josh

Here's mine. I custom welded extensions to the bottom of an old deck chair and reupholstered it to match the cushions in the pilothouse.

Hey Jim, Here's another one for sale. Bluewater 40 Trawler for sale, 40'0", 1980 | Boatshed Seattle

Here is my 2nd access from the master. Its a 30x30 hatch that was original to the boat. This picture was taken while Awlgrip LP being applied (hence the blue tape on the window:). The second picture is at the near completion of the paint job. At this point, I still needed to install the new rub...

I have this exact same BLUEWATER 40 boat slipped in Long Beach, Ca. I bought her 2 years ago and love (almost:thumb:) everything this style/size boat offers. I too added a stern thruster (side power), new electronics(Garmin), glassed/non-skid the decks, and LP the entire boat.It was very hard to...

Like: 1) Layout and it's simplicity. Lots of space for a 40fter'. Pilothouse is awesome and closet space,bathrooms, bedrooms are big. 2) Single diesel. Yes, parts are hard to find, but they are out there. Any good diesel mechanic can work on it and Bedford as an engine is very reliable...

Yes, I have that engine in my boat. Good old 4-stroke natural aspirated diesel engine, simple to work on, but parts are hard to find. PM me if you have any questions. -Josh

N4712, Found the conversion box made by Sidepower...$2000 :eek: I'm hoping for more affordable options:) Thanks, Josh

So I bought a Sideshift stern thruster for my 40ft Trawler (runs on 12v and has a generator). I wanted the most thrust so I purchased the 24v unit. Question: Since I spend most time off shore power (but do plan on weekend excursions off the grid), whats the best solution for charging the...

Did you complete your window restoration? How much did it cost? How did it turn out? I'm thinking of pursuing the same project. Thanks, Josh

Awesome guys! Exactly what I'm looking for! Called him and hoping for the best. Thanks, Josh

Just wanted to say that this post has helped me immensely. Thanks to all for their insight, experience, and knowledge of solar. I plan on supplying most of my daily use with solar. With approx 64 sqft of surface, it should suffice. I'm not a "dooms day prepper", but do find comfort in knowing...

Thanks Rebel112r. :)

I have 3 large 8D batteries. -Josh

Why would it not be "ideal"? Is it because of amp totals or location on the pilothouse? What brand of panel did you get? Where? Thanks, Josh

Is there a difference between a "house" or "marine" panel?

Great info guys! Here's a pic of my roof. Tons of space.

What determines the size/watts you will need? Is it for just charging the battery bank or running entire boat?

Hey Guys and Gals, I have a 40 footer with a genset, but thinking of going solar. I have a large flat open space on top of my pilothouse. There's no washing machine or A/C on my boat and it's docked 80% of the time. I'm a local SOCAL cruiser and don't plan on any trips lasting longer than a few...

Hey Everyone, Still looking for a suitable flybridge and hardtop if available. All my leads didn't work out. Let me know if anyone has something. Thanks, Josh
