I was thinking the exact thing! My question is where and what do you get for the "red ball" float? TIA, Ken

Beautiful and Impressive, Welcome aboard! I certainly understand the "Big Check" remark after viewing your pictures. Good Luck Capt.:)

I have been told by some one that I trust that putting copper in the strainers is a myth.

Agreed, plus he will return any emails that you may send to him

That is the way my Jefferson 46 is put together. I do miss the pilothouse helm in bad weather but overall we love the boat.

My Jefferson does not have a lower helm. I wish I had a hard enclosure for bad weather

Not only that but the pentagon wastes Billions of dollars every year. They don't even Audit themselves. Give me a break!!!

We have both a compact washer and dryer. The 2 separate units work much better and can be used at the same time. It all depends on your cruising plans and what other equipment is on board. As with everything involved in boating, it is a compromise! We love our setup and all I had to give up was...

Hi Guys, I would also be very interested in a "Jefferson Yacht Thread" I bought an 86 Jefferson 46 in 2017. While I live in Florida, the boat is on the Chesapeake Bay.

George, Did you get any response? I asm looking for the same thing My Jefferson is a 46 but I think the same would apply. Semper Fi Brother; I am a retired Squid.:dance:

Hi and Welcome, I am at Wicomico Yacht Club on Eastern Shore. Brand new Clubhouse , covered slips,Fantastic People, and Very Affordable. I stay aboard my Jefferson 46 with the Wife, 2 Dogs(German Shepherd and Dachshund), and a Cat. While my current home is in Florida, I can't get enough of the...

I am looking for any information on the Acadia 25. One is for sale locally, has most of what I want, and could be the exact answer for my needs.:socool:

Sure, there is a 1981 Albin tri-cabin 49' listed on Ebay under Diesel trawler. Just got off the phone with the present owner. Says he purchased it last year on the FL. west coast. He has done his trip and now plans to motorhome it. Seem like a real nice and informed owner. The boat is now...

No, still looking:ermm: There is a Albin tricabin listed on EBay in DeLand, Fl. anybody know anything about this Boat?

Also that is exactly where boards like this come into play! Usually more than one person responds to a DIY Question giving the OP a lot to think about IE: his skill level, tools needed, what makes the most sense, ETC. THEN they can determine which course of action to follow. One of the Great...

WesK, while what you say is all true & valid; I have experienced the "Skilled Rate" done by the "Unskilled" labor. People just except that as normal. I say "I may Be slow, but when done I know it is right" You cannot even embarrass some of these so-called experts. At the end of the day, they got...

Thanks to all the Wise & Kind words. RT the answer is YES! Moonstruck, the arms are long enough, But the Mind just hates giving $.$$ up. I guess it could be worse cause I will spend for Quality. Bruce K, yes shepherds are smart but at the beginning of every boating season in the past, they...

I have always liked the Grand Banks. I understand Albins are good boats. I am 6'4" tall so head room and long Beds are important. Additionally, I like H Ted Gozzard's idea of a boat meant for a couple with an occasional guest. We Have 2 shepherds so ease of getting on and off comes into the...

HI, New guy here, I have been messing with boats (on & off) most of my life. Mostly Sail; Last boat was a Gozzard 36 Pilothouse. I am starting down the "Trawler Road". Now live in Florida, Miss the Chesapeake, and the admiral loves Key West. A Trawler seems to be the answer to ALL the likes. I...

Charles, I did the same thing as you on my last boat. I also was allowed to leave the dock and anchor outside the Harbor overnight. It was all written into the original purchase offer and also after an employee of the broker had checked me out on the operation of the boat.

Can anyone recommend a Good surveyor familiar Marine Trader Boats in the Tampa Bay Area?

Sounds like my type of Educator!

Hello, I am looking at 2 Marine trader LaBelle sundeck trawlers. I have messed with boats most of my life(including the US Navy) Last boat was a Gozzard Sail boat. I have read this site and of course I want to know more. Any education would be appreciated; the good, the bad, the ugly...
