I simply wanted a salty looking and seaworthy, full displacement trawler under 30'.
She looks simply perfect, Vashon,
Love that stern - seems you've got exactly what you wanted!

U know what? I would have done it all over again if I had to.
Larry your boat is one of my favorites if not my favorite here on the Forum. Your close attention to every detail is obvious . Good looking boat . Boomerang was built from the heart in the beginning and is cared for from the heart now and it shows . It reminds me of this quote ,Boomarang back in her slip after a yard period. Oh, and my new cabin table, complete with boomerangs inlaid in the corners! Teak and holly cabin sole next, then I'll finally be finished. OK, it's never finished, but I'll take a break and go cruising for a while.

I know exactly where you are coming from as I have a daughter & her family in the Seattle area and have considered doing the same thing. After a few visits in the winter, however, I've purged those thoughts for good as the constant wet weather is depressing. (Google the statistics on depression in the PNW.)But pictures like yours makes me think about loading up the moving van and heading out there for good.

Our boat. Nothing fancy, just a nice place to relax. The Admiral is finishing the last panel on the camper top.
What is the opaque material on the top of your frame?
I tried to add a photo from my photos, but was unable to do so. Ignorance on my part. How do I do tha?
A little follow up to these pics...
As of last year...ERMA put Mariah on the bottom of the lagoon, right where you see here here, and that's where she still is and will die.
Was really tough dealing with the fact of this but I'm over it now and life goes on.
Of course if I'd hit the lottery I'd buy an A-frame work barge, go raise her and take he to Trinidad or Taiwan. Oh well...
Polycarbonate panels in an aluminum frame. Sturdy and much cooler than a canvas top.
