Agree. Chula is not worth the couple bucks you save every month slipping there. They have also had a boat break in problems, I hear. Pick up a slip along Harbor drive.

Avoid that boat at all costs. There is a very good reason you can buy the bayliners so cheap. Bayliner uses the cheapest of the cheapest on every system. Interior and exterior. The newer the boat, the worst they are.:whistling:

60K budget for a 40' plus trawler type boat. Get ready to be disappointed. JMO.

Join a charter club. Untie and go, return and walk away.

That boat is a beast with a 10 foot beam. You really need a 3500 dual wheel.

Did I see banana's aboard..... lol. Congrats, very nice boat.

Boat ownership, like standing in a cold shower tearing up 100 dollar bills. Great Wife, priceless. Enjoy them both. Congrats.

Great story. Question, how well does your IP do under sail, or is she more of a motor sailer? Been looking at that IP model for years. IP makes a fantastic Yacht.

95k, you find the boat you want at that price point and it will be a miracle.

Put a diver on it. Easy fix if they are painted over. Crazy to haul the boat out for that alone.

Not a problem. Hope you had a great weekend. That boat has been for sale for quite sometime. If the price comes down into the 70s I would be more interested :)

Oh, that is funny. VHF 16knts.

I no that boat will not cruise at 13kts :) and its not a planing hull. Its a displacement. She would probably plane at 35knts:eek:

That would be very cool of you guys. Have fun at the boat show. I no its a great one in Oakland.

1988 PT 38' Motor Yacht Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com I think Pineapple Girl is close buy as well. Not sure on the price though. We looked at an 1986 PT 38 last summer for 62k. Original owner as well and very clean. We are paying cash for a boat so I was not quite there at that time...

Baggiolina. How did this trip down South work out for you? I may be looking at a PT 36 in Alameda, then I would need to get the boat back to my home town San Diego harbor.

Get Her up on the CA west coast. I have been in the trawler market for over a year here in San Diego. There just are not that many to look at for sale buy owner. I have a very good cash budget as well.

*Thanks for the info Guys. Egregious, great looking boat. And yes, you have a lot of sail area.

Thanks Tim. I always forget about the search option.:)

FlyWright. I just printed all of your script. Good stuff. May the Gods of the Sea take favor on us all. We're sad to report that Baja Ha-Ha vet Jan Anderson, 59, of the formerly Sausalito-based Island Packet 380 Triple Stars was washed overboard on Friday afternoon about 185 miles northwest of...

The Wife and I are on the hunt for our first LRC boat. These boats appear to have a lot of sail area. With the wind blowing, dock a 40' plus boat with a single would seem to be a bit of a challenge. We are looking at a*LRC boat, single*200hp perk with a BOW THRUSTER...

*I will send you pm. I would really like to no how you like that single 200hp perk. Here is another boat were interested in. Single 200 like yours. http://www.boats.com/boat-details/Pt-Sundeck/125297431

*Please let us no how your trip goes. Have fun, be safe. The boat we can afford. The cost to slip per ft in San Diego is crazy. We are on a 9 year waiting list for a mooring ball in Americas cup harbor.

WOW !!! Marin. Great read. Thanks. You see a lot of dependable diesel cruisers out among the channel Islands. I would say knowing your cruising grounds and local weather is key. Honestly, I thought this boats were very blue water capable, but like you said they really are not a commercial...

Thanks for all that great info as well Marin. Thats why my heart is set on a trawler. I will be in no*hurry to get anywhere. Yes, Pacific will be my play ground. Channel Islands. Coastal cruising. This leads me to my next question. Are most trawlers just coastal cruisers our if weather comes up...
