Yes thank you for your input Kulas44 and yes it is a Marine Trawler.

AusCan, I am sorry I meant to say Stringers before. No it is not a wooden boat. It is Fiberglass Monohull. I have another question for you though. Can a Marine Trawler have smaller fuel tanks say like 3 tanks 50 gallons each instead of 2 large 150 gallon fuel tanks? Is that possible?

Anyone Know Anything about replacing floor boards under Lehman Engines It seems on one of the boats we are looking at there is a problem with the boards directly under the engine. They are warping. Also, the trawler still has iron tanks, which we can't really get underneath to see if they are...

Glad you are doing better frgeorgeh. I haven't been on the Trawler site in about a week. Also glad you found a boat, my husband is going today to look at a trawler sold by the owner this time not a broker. We had a lot of bad luck trying to go through a broker with the last few boats we looked...

Sorry you hurt yourself, please take care. I will keep you in prayer.:) Hope you get well soon.

Thanks Everyone for your comments and tips. Still looking, hopefully we will find one soon. We have been talking to some surveyors and shipwrights. Thanks again, katsailing

Ray, I took a quick look at the boat even though I know it is too far for us to travel to get it and the price is already beyond our means. Boat is beautiful, but Tennessee? Sorry. Thanks for the tip though.

kulas44, I know, I know! We and including my husbands friend are not assuming anything nor do we think we know everything about these boats. When we look at boats especially my husband, he always thinks of the worse that can happen. He doesn't assume anything, believe me! It is possible because...

Pack Mule, thats understandable I wouldn't want to waste it either. My husband usually has lots of caulk around, but that is for his work which is carpentry and renovations.

JDCAVE, I think I may have misquoted on the time it was on the hard. It may have been 3 years, but not more than 5.

Pardon?

kulas44, I agree totally. We haven't bought the boat or put a bid on it yet and yes my husband intends to get it surveyed by an outsider not the broker's person. We have a list of people to call and he is not hesitant in asking questions to get the answers he needs.

Hi JDCave, we were looking at the boat on the hard. It actually has been on the hard about 8 years. Does that make a difference? Also it is a 1995.

Ok RT Firefly, It is a Marine Trader 38.

No Art sorry not a Galaxy-Girl! LOL right back. :)

Great pictures! Was that clams you were eating? Love the picture of you and the dog on the beach. :) Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your concern BandB, we have take a lot of the expenses into account and run figures by each other and a friend of my husband's who has a captain's license and has quite a bit of knowledge when it comes to boating and boats.

Well sunchaser eat and sleep and the other 25% take the boat out. Would be nice if we could take our house out, but we can't find a balloon big enough to lift it.:)

No Codger2, not greener just dull. My husband longs to be on the water and I want to be right by his side.

Rudder Problems and Maintenance Hello Everyone, In our searching for a Trawler we came across this on the boats rudder shoe: Picture files attached. We are looking to buy the boat on which this rudder shoe is attached, how concerned should we be about the extent of the repair work needed on...

Thanks for your input psneeld that was what we were hearing a lot of with the Florida boats. Besides it is too far for us to travel to look at boats, that would put our budget through the roof not to mention we would need a place to stay while browsing. We are sticking to the New Jersey...

Thanks Wxx3, you made some very good points. My husband does have a friend he keeps in contact with that has his Captain's license and has chartered boats before. He runs a lot of the information about the boats we have looked at by him. My husband does have some sailing knowledge, I am very...

Don't worry, we aren't jumping at the very first boat we see. My husband has been searching and researching information since last summer. It wasn't until recently in the last month we saw more Trawlers in our price range. Most of the urgency came about in the last 2 months. You see we would...

Oil What do you think would cause the metal shavings in the oil?:ermm:

Beautiful boat! Your MV Lisas Way, a 2001 Bayliner 4788. What a boat! Alaska is way too far for us and too cold, but glad you enjoy it.
