Hello, we are new to the forum and new boat owners as of Sep 2020. She largely sat at the dock at the end of last season, except for the trip over and three trips and some short lessons with a licensed captain as I am not ready yet. We made it through the boat buying process successfully and largely on our own by looking, looking, looking and reading a lot to include this forum. The whole boat buying thing is a big story in itself that occurred last summer. We are East Coast based on the LI Sound. A lot to learn but looking forward to having fun safely and respectfully on the beautiful waters around here. A long history and some interesting background to how we finally own a boat! Most of all we are happy and excited. I am certain I will be asking for advice and information in the future. Charles
She is a 1982 Sea Ray Sedan Trawler 355. Not a real trawler I know but will get us started. The rear cabin doors are a custom modification by the previous owner who was the second owner. Last owner had her for 27 years. She seems in pretty good shape for the age but this will be a big overhaul before she goes back into the water this spring. After inspection and some work by our Captain she easily made the 90 mile trip around from the south shore of LI to the LI Sound.
Attached is a picture or the three ladies in my life. Fortunately Lady #1 is on board fully for lady #3 which we recently acquired!! Sorry I do not have a picture of the full boat to upload.
