I second my next door boat neighbor Bob's statement regarding T-Mobile!

I'm interested as well and in Oak Harbor. I think I PM'd you but not sure, lol!

Thanks everyone for the responses. I haven't put all my force into it so perhaps"locked" is not exactly the right word, but it is definitely much tighter and I haven't been able to turn them any so far with just one arm... and I wasn't sure I wanted to put that much force into trying to turn...

Maybe this is a common thing, but I didn't find any prior posts on this and I am a newbie to trawlers. I pulled my boat out the end of October for some work, and was noticing the other day that the propellers feel like they were locked... at least I couldn't turn by hand (and the transmissions...

Working on the roof/ceiling of the aft stateroom today. And I continue to learn how these boats are put together. There are small 2"x2" beams that span athwartship and are spaced 16"to 18" apart that support the ceiling. These beams are attached to the ceiling with 5 bolts spaced along their...

Thanks for the response Comodave. I found an epoxy, Chem-set 6105, that is supposed to bond well with Starboard... but now I am interested in coosa board as an alternative. Yes, my plan is to remove all the rotted material, then get the roof/deck structures/supports set structurally, and then...

So you look to be further than I! Looking good! So you removed a section of your aft bulkhead? Interesting. So I gather your bed is running fore/aft? I'm planning an island bed as well, an extra long full size, but running athwartship... and won't have the space on the sides (12" +-) as looks...

So I haven't removed the teak decking yet but am planning to, figuring I would have to recore much of the deck as I understand is normal for an old Taiwan trawler. I got a phenolic hammer and tapped around on the deck but couldn't really detect any soft spots. But I don't know... probably need...

Boat is on the hard right now in Anacortes.

No support except at the bulkheads. However the run on the starbound side is shorter... about 6.5' versus port side snake of a hose where there is about a 9.5' run. Sorry for my lack of knowledge here, but these FRP tubes being mentioned... premade? Or do you fiberglass around a tube, and if...

I've been continuing to remove interior rotted wood in the rear stateroom, especially the wood sandwiched between the lower hull "lip" and the upper "lid" roof that sets down over this lip. They overlap each other about 3-4 inches. All of this wood is rotten and most of it is wet (you may be...

While rebuilding the rear stateroom I uncovered the exhaust hoses. These hoses sag down between the two bulkheads on either side of the room as seen in these pics (sorry for the quality), between the muffler in the ER and their exit out the transom. In fact, the port side hose is particularly...

So we have been getting familiar with our new (to us) 36 Universal trawler. Crawling around in the aft stowage area where the water tanks are, I noticed that the PO has 6-8 bags of ready-mix wrapped up in plastic bags down at the bottom of the hull. I guess he could have been planning some...

Cajones or stupidity, not sure which! [emoji23]

Hi all, My first post other than the Welcome mat. My significant other and I purchased a trawler at an auction in September. Engines are good and fuel tanks have been replaced, but decks and house have a lot of rot, particularly around the windows which I understand is common with these boats...

Thanks. So what is recoring? I know there is an intermediate layer of plywood between top and bottom layers of fiberglass, and was thinking I may need to cut off the top layer of fiberglass and replace the plywood and glass over. Maybe that's the recoring? Is there any easy way to see if any of...

There is a neighbor in my marina who is very familiar with this boat and he actually already replaced the fuel tanks for a PO. I still need to install a sight glass or gauge and sending units, but tanks are in good shape.

Hello all! I have had sailboats for over 30 years. My current one is a 26 foot Catalina Capri with an 11 hp inboard diesel auxiliary. I have redone the shore power, 12 volt, and plumbing systems, done some gel coat repairs, and totally redone the interior adding a lot of woodwork in this boat. I...
