If I do this I have no plans on doing any drilling or modifications. Although cutting out the fiberglass and replacing the core is something I plan on having done in the future if needed, I don’t think I have the skills at this point.

I do not think the soft spots have progressed much over the years. The oldest survey I have is from 2008, then 2015, 2018 and I had one done December 2020 when I purchased the boat. All mentioned the soft spots but was something to be watched and were not critical. The last Surveyor mentioned...

Yes it was made in Taiwan.

I have a 1973 Marine Trader 34 Sedan and I have some slight soft spots on the upper deck. At this point these are minor as far as I can tell. These have been noted in previous surveys done on the boat so I do not think they are getting worse, but I cannot be sure. As I get nervous whenever we...

Has anyone used the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor? Any thoughts on it? I need to get a motor for my inflatable dinghy. I want use the dingy to play around with on the River as well as a tender. Looking for 3hp motor and these look promising.

We just got our first Trawler and have an 80 lb. Golden Doodle. We got an extendable Doggy Ramp on Amazon. To get him onto the boat we just put the ramp into the deck area and lift his front paws onto the ramp from the dock and give him a gentle lift and walks right on, Reverse to get him...

Diesel Fuel questions...I Googled these and get different answers. I am new to diesel. How long does it last without degrading to point that it should not be used? Is there a difference diesel fuel from Automobile gas station or Marina? Besides price. What products/additives should be added...

Welcome.. I just joined yesterday and am in Washington on the Pamlico.

Does anyone use a surge protector on their shore power? I have heard a surge can blow your entire electric system. If so any recommendations? Is it recommended? I use 30 amp service and am a newbie.

Our plans at the moment are to spend most time on the Pamlico River with trips to Bellhaven, Ocracoke and Beaufort. A little about the boat: Interior fully renovated along with cabin walls (air core) windows, stainless steel dual fuel tanks, corian counters, bow thruster, new auto-pilot, new...

Sea Moose thanks doe the info. I had no idea it was considered a 32 Pilot House. I will have to look that up. I forget what the plaque says in the hull but I remember she was built in 1973 and Hull #65. A little about the boat: Interior fully renovated along with cabin walls (air core)...

Hi, I recently purchased a 1974 Marine Trader 34 Sedan. I am guessing this is a very rare style because I can not find any other Marine Trader Sedans besides the Europa model doing a Google search. This is not a Europa. I did find a post from 2009 regarding one for sale in RI. Is anyone familiar...
