    information about 38' Sea Chief

    Does anyone know anything about a 38' Sea Chief. I've never heard of a Sea Chief, but then again I have very limited experience. I'm looking at one and I'd like to know more about it. So if anyone can tell me something about owning a Sea Chief I would really appreciate it

    To which continent to retire?

    Year before last I leased a minivan for 6 months and toured Europe, I was 65 at the time and stayed at different campgrounds throughout Spain, France, Italy, and German. I visited Gibraltar, Morocco, Greece and a couple of the Greek islands and stayed in hotels because it was almost impossible...

    To which continent to retire?

    I like what you said Good response, there are a lot of great places to live along the coastline of the Mediterranean, Spain tops my list with Italy being a close second, on second thought, maybe Italy should be first then Spain. For me it's a hard decision. I went there the year before last...

    Does anyone own or know anything about a 46’ Delta Trawler?

    The 44' Thompson in FL looks really nice and I like the upgrades that come with it. Good size generator 12kw Onan. Bow thruster is a must for me, and with me being 5’6”, I can almost walk in the engine room. The large fuel tank must give it one hell of a range, it has a lot of the things needed...

    To which continent to retire?

    You are so right, the coastline of the Mediterranean is special. I loved Spain the most, like I said, it was the people who made the difference. Italy is a close second. Butch

    Does anyone own or know anything about a 46’ Delta Trawler?

    Damn good point, how in the hell is that single 135 hp. Perkin engine going to get the power to get a 46’ Delta to plane? I didn’t see semi displacement hull mentioned in the information when I first read the ad, I assume it was full displacement. After I made some inquiries I noticed at the...

    Wanted: Grand Banks 42

    1978 42' Grand Banks in Corpus Christi $88,000. I stumbled across this ad: https://corpuschristi.craigslist.org/boa/6069794588.html From the photos, it's a clean looking boat and I don't think there are too many out there for that price. I was giving it some thought myself, but moved on to...

    Does anyone own or know anything about a 46’ Delta Trawler?

    46' Delta Trawler Solid fiberglass Hull or Cored? For what its worth; I found out the 46' Delta Trawlers does have a solid fiberglass hull. Also, the hull is semi displacement hull, not the full displacement I was hoping it would be. A semi displacement isn't that bad for what I want to do. So...

    To which continent to retire?

    I'd give Nicaragua a second thought, I lived there for 10 years, I even have a Nicaraguan wife. You'd have a target painted on your back down there. In Nicaragua, the locals don't consider it a crime to rip off a gringo, its the national sport. One of the guys in our crowd developed 40 acres for...

    Does anyone own or know anything about a 46’ Delta Trawler?

    I think there are 2 companies that named their boats Delta I found a company that makes a 46' trawler and there are a few for sale there just isn't a lot of information about them in the ads United Yachts Sales has a 1984 46’ Delta Pilot House Trawler for sale for $79,900, I really like the...

    Mainship 40 as a starter vessel?

    I think age is a factor as well. I agree with you, if I was single and 30 years younger, I get a 30’ Willard and do the loop. I recently retired for the 2nd time at 65. First time I was 50, and I moved to Costa Rica. Last year I took my young Nicaraguan wife to St. Thomas USVI as a place for me...

    Does anyone own or know anything about a 46’ Delta Trawler?

    I read that a 46' Delta Trawler has a solid fiberglass hull and is not cored, is that correct? Also, what type of hull to they have, full or semi displacement? I’m still trying to figure out what I want in a Trawler. When I first started, I wanted something that would take me back to Central...

    Mainship 40 as a starter vessel?

    The reason I joined this forum is to learn from you guys and avoid swallowing the anchor I'm sure Gas is just fine, but in another life while I was a Forest Ranger I was in a Gasoline explosion, I'm not comfortable with gas. I'm "in" this for the long haul and I expect to make a lot of mistakes...

    Mainship 40 as a starter vessel?

    If I’m stepping on some toes I apologies for injecting my question in this thread, but the originator and I have something in common as first time buyers. I’d just like to expand it a little more for those of you got insurance and a loan to buy your boat. I’m a newbie as well and I’ve picked up...

    Can you Believe I Finally Bought a Boat?

    Congratulations on finding "your" boat, I really like the way it’s laid out. Like everyone else I love the name. Too many times in my search for “the” boat I see some really lame names that people have given their boats and I wonder about the tale I heard that its bad luck to change a name. I’m...
