Tides are no problem as this is a fresh water lake with lock access to the puget sound. Lake Washington... The army corps of engineers does vary the lake level by about 2-4' throughout the year. It does get choppy sometimes in the winter from the wind. There are super duper strict...

Don't forget "JARPA" to consolidate all those above into "one" stop shopping for a permit. The DNR permitting looks reasonable, I am going to get some professional advice. There are a couple of other affordable properties that have this agreement. One is in foreclosure. Cheapest single...

Well we missed out. We did not get our offer in on time and the deal went away. What it is a joint ownership of a waterfront dock/property in Kirkland. 7 homes own a dock. There is room for another mooring buoy and maybe a dock expansion. It would be the next best thing to being on the...

Its obviously fresh water... and a completely new install... I need to get an answer/info from DNR, but their website is horribly slow wherever I have tried it.

We are looking at a property that has the possibility of installing a permenant mooring buoy. This would be in fresh water, but have lock access to the Puget Sound. We will probably never be able afford direct waterfront with a dock in the Seattle area, but this would be close. There would be a...

On the smaller/newer Bayliner side... The Discovery 24 & 26 models are unique that there is nothing else like them on the market. The look OK, somewhat pudgy.

Size?

Apparently there is a story, that we might hear someday, but this guy made it a few 100 miles in the ocean Tollycraft Delivery begins today:

I swear up and down the seller says it just say for the last 30 years... probably with no windows and rainwater filled it. I have NO time for a project like this... and I think the seller is out of line on pricing. 1982 26's are going between 55-70k fully functioning and in the water. This...

I have always wondered if an experienced eye could look at a boat in marina and tell generally how long it has been sitting...

Very, I figured you are buying a hull and trailer...

Boat Few of the photos (as well as the price scare me for what you get!) But never would have imagined the they would have sold an unfished boat back then..

Chtucker.smugmug.com has a couple of galleries of photos from the seller and the survey

Wow, I shouldn't have counted my chickens... No valid hull Identification number found on the boat, not USCG documented, Canadian Registration (just like USCG documentation) closed two weeks before the boat was listed for sale. The owner changed to a license only which doesn't prove ownership...

Well, things are not going too smoothly. Everything is in place, except for a valid hull identification number. Nothing I can find says that any boat built in Canada for commercial or pleasure would be exempt from having a 12 digit standard hull ID. All of the registration and documentation...

My new to me aluminum boat has a hard mounted Perkins. Yes there is quite a bit of noise, no vibration. A noise reduction would be nice, but it is not as simple as swapping out the mounts, and then there is the maintainence issue. Earplugs for those in the pilothouse?

I kinda agree. A lot of them have voltage being fed to them for an internal receive amplifier. That being said, I have installed hundreds of them on everything from cop cars and two way radio sites within a foot or two of each other.. Sme of the larger cell sites have upwards of 20 GPS...

No, in case my deal doesn't finalize on my new boat. It hasn't closed yet (should this week). I won't believe the deal is done till I am standing on it in US waters on the way home. I saw the pictures and the boat looks great... actually fantastic! Hard to find a 30' full displacement boat.

How much $$$

I really am not concerned about appearance.. Do you know who makes the one in the picture?

I was reading the long windlass thread and noticed that there was mention of an electric drum windlass out there. * Our new boat has a Horizon windlass that works fine, but dumps the all chain rode into a compartment under the V Berth (No drain, no water proofing and not good to have steel...

*I have thought about adding the broadband radar for the sole purpose of spotting crab pots and debris.* Now that the reviews of the 4G stuff is saying that the long distance performance is good, I would feel no need to have both or worry about it. My new to me boat has very servicable...

The boat's name and home port were never changed.... It is actually up in Brentwood Bay in BC, Victoria. I have sorta lined up McSwift as a customs broker on the recommendation of the doc company... Moorage is yet to be determined.. Hopefully this weekend we decide...

*Yes it has an isolation transformer.* Nothing is bonded to the hull (as it shouldn't be in my mind) however ABYC debates this.. The area that was affected appears to have come from a poorly wired bilge pump that failed...* The bilge pump has been replaced and wired properly now.

Some notable stray current corrosion in the bilge area that needs to watched closely (nothing URGENT) but would come up as a potential issue in any future survey. Could go for years if we monitor the situation, next buyer could balk big time. About a $5,000 fix to do it right... That all...
