That's what happened to the last boat, after two hours the surveyor looked at me and said do you want me to continue or just pay for my time. I paid him $200 and off he went. I also have a haul out scheduled, engine surveyor required to have the boat out of the water?

So I have finally found a boat pending survey. This may sound like I am cheap but I have been through one unsuccessful survey already. So the boat in question has twin diesels. I am having the boat surveyed and the engines surveyed as well. Engine surveyor want to do it at the same time...

Yes those are all good ideas. I was thinking doing that exact plan.

Was hoping to do over a the long memorial day weekend, weather permitting.

Thats a long stretch from AC to Port Jefferson? How long did that take?

Sorry newbie here. Let me rephrase “best case scenario” how long would it take day cruising.

So it looks I am looking at 2.5 days of day cruising?

Has anyone cruised from Baltimore to Port Jefferson on Long Island. Was wondering how long this would take at 10-12 knots?

Thanks for the replies.

Hello, Looking like my previous deal (silverton) has fallen through. I looked at a 1995 Mainship 37 w/twin yanmars, does anyone have this boat who could share their experience? The engines have 1300 hours. Honestly the condition was on OK, needed a clean up as the saloon was dirty. The...

Well I am sitting and waiting at this point. To cold to have her splashed. We will see where this leads. Survey of engines is key, I have read that a cat certified survey is pretty thorough and hopefully can bring piece of mind. It’s amazing how much amnesia the marina has about the boat and...

I looked at a 1995 mainship 37 with twin yanmar diesels. Any opinions? Boat needed a real good cleaning.

I am a member of boat diesel .com. Unfortunately, I cannot get any maintenance records as the previous owner abandoned the boat at the dock and it was sold at auction to the current owner. I was waiting for warmer weather so I can do a trial run and see how the boat functions for myself, at...

I would prefer a diesel, but have to admit the pricing of the gassers are enticing. If I decide to go forward with the boat I will have Cat Certified mechanic thoroughly survey the engines at a cost of $750 per engine.

Cat 3116TA. 2100 eng hours. I have not been able to find one for 50k though. Most are 75K +

Hi, Original owners got sick and were no longer able to keep an eye on the boat on the dock. Boat was in water and an emergency pull was done due to setting low in slip. Tie lines I suspect are what kept it afloat. Forward deck drain hose was hanging off of the drain behind the sink in the...

Yes it looks like there was not to much wiring where the leak was.. Bilge pump was shot and that’s been replaced.

Hi, My quest to find a boat is now going on year three. Im currently looking at a 1998 Silverton 372 with twin caterpillar diesels. Here is the dilemma boat partially sank aft cabin minor water damage about 10 inches on doors to head and hanging locker. Upon check of engine room I can clearly...

Yes I from Rocky Point And if all goes well with the purchase will be boring the boat at Mount Sinai harbor.

Mooring Thank you for the replies. I have submitted an offer and it was accepted for 38' Trawler pending a survey which will be completed after the winter. I can moor my boat at the town marina. They recommend a 400lb mushroom anchor for my size boat. I asked the question because I don't...

Hello All, Just curious does anyone moor there boat for the boating season? What size boat would be to big to moor?

Anyone out there own a United Ocean trawler? Would love to exchange info about them.

OMG, I submitted an offer and it was accepted. Its a little sobering to be honest. Now I need to find a surveyor and wait 5 months before I can use her.
