Man am I excited, and also equally neverous. I think we found our boat! It’s the 3 cabin lay out that we’ve been looking for. And unlike the other one that was a floating condo, this one is in really great shape. The paint job really is beautiful. It was also pouring on and off as thunder storms rolled through, not a single leak anywhere.
Engines ran great, AC’s did great, the gen held a load but shut down because of poor water flow, probably needs an impeller. The only thing that bothers me is the windless didn’t work and there are zero electronics. The radio may or may not work and the depth finder was reading all over the place. Also one tach was missing on the fly bridge.
How difficult can trouble shooting a windless be? I guess as long as it’s getting power, I might be able to unbolt the old one and bolt in a new one? Or are they more complicated than that.
Fuel tanks showed no signs of leaking (about all we can do).
Survey and oil samples results should be in soon today or tomorrow.
