25 - 35’ trawler/ motor sailor wanted

[Woody5]

Seeking smaller boat for Great Lakes/canal cruise. Looking for a boat that is ready for use. Doesn’t need to be perfect but not a project boat. I’ve been looking at Albins, Fishers, Cape Dories, Nimbles, Fales/Nomads, Marine Traders and Grand Banks. I like all of those but see they are hard to come by in reasonable condition.

I have no affiliation, just came across my screen.

They are out there, for certain. Prices are currently dropping somewhat. Just start hitting the boatyards.

If you are throwing motorsailors into the mix then you might also look for a Gulf 32 pilot house, if you can find one in good condition. You would then have a world cruising boat.
The Gulf 32 is a Bill Garden design.

It's in a foreign country, but these are really nice boats. Price converted to USD seems reasonable.

No connection, but generally speaking boats in this area enjoy short fresh water seasons and lots of TLC.

A couple of people have called my boat a yacht, which caused me to cringe.

In my mind, a yacht is large (50 ft. or more) and shiny and has at least one paid crew.

My vessel is less than 50 ft., is not particularly shiny and is crewed by yours truly.

I have a big boat.

I have a Norwegian built boat called a Tresfjord 28. 28 ‘ solid built displacement hull and able to trailer. If you would like more info I would be happy to supply. Brad

That's very similar to the boat I pointed out earlier.

Deets, out of curiosity?

 

[Woody5]

A number of years ago I listed my Albin 25 MS on Yachtworld; the boat was located in Maple Bay on Vancouver Island BC.

The buyer drove up from Florida, picked up his premade boat trailer in Tacoma, and drove up to Maple Bay. Once there he checked her out and trailered her back to Florida with no survey or seatrial. Granted, the vessel was in exceptional condition thanks to her previous to me owner, Jim Jones.

Sir,
You have IMO a forty-some foot “Cruiser”.

There is a 30' Fisher for $18k on Boattrader in Bradenton. I have absolutely no knowledge of the boat, I just saw it pop up on my facebook feed.

I used to refer to my N46 as ‘a little bitty boat’.
I added a 3ft swim platform, making it about 49ft but I still referred to it as ‘my little bitty boat’. Now I have a 36ft (including the swim platform) and I still refer to as ‘my little bitty boat.’ SHRUG

Hey Woody, we emailed a little while back. I still have the really nice Fales Navigator motorsailer in Clayton, NY.. Let me know if you're more serious now.
