    Adventure #1: Getting her home

    I think it's just buyers remorse and learning how much work is required for wood boat, it's good that he learns now while the cost has not been too high.

    Adventure #1: Getting her home

    How long was the boat for sale before you bought it? Keep that in mind as you try to sell. Yes you put some money into it, but each month you pour more in. Dock fees, insurance, parts break or new discoveries of broken parts. You will never recoup what you put in. Best thing is to not be...

    Adventure #1: Getting her home

    You mentioned spinning your propellers, it is possible you need to adjust your packing now. At each shaft you have another way for water to enter the boat. Typically these should be dripping about 3-10 drips per minute when the engine is not running. Check there and see if maybe it started to...

    There is a die you can put in that will show under black light. Not sure though if it will show in the exhaust water.

    Hylobos marina would be a reasonable place for haulout. They are in the commencement bay. If you do not find something closer. Fuel is best at des moines marina.

    Need pressure resivour tank.

    The previous owner installed a red dot heater. That is the good news, but it is higher than the engine coolant system. He did not install a resivour tank above this point so I have air in my system. Looking online I can find lots of pressure resivours for cars but they are all strange shapes...

    Inlet / bar crossing in a trawler?

    My chart plotter is very good showing the current and predicting the current. Used efficiently it really helps in planning when to head out or stay put until the current changes.

    How does Boat/US Towing insurance work ?

    It all depends on the level of towing insurance you get from Boat US. one level is only to the nearest repair, next level back to your home port and i believe the highest level will tow you from a dock to another dock.

    As the tank has only one valve in, many things to add. Inspection port. Inlet valve, vent. The question still not answered is where do I put a pump. One from the storage tanks to which side of the polishing filter? And then going back to the racor from day tank. Would I need another pump. This...
