^^ This My broker was able to find four insurers with wildly varying rates and restrictions and work with the best priced insurer to fine tune the language on our 32’ not a trawler. Price was about 1/2 of the worst rate and for better coverage/terms. I’d tried Geico and my HO/Auto/life folks...

World Timber in Hubert NC

Recreational boat sales last year almost reset the record years of 2006-7, you probably remember what hit the reset button in 2008-09. This year had the potential to completely obliterate those records (tons of demand) but due to the near-universal supply chain disruptions, I doubt we will see...

Assuming some/all may eventually be sold why not reach out to a broker or two. They can pull comps for you for free. Or do some digging on YachtWorld and you can at least see asking prices

Amen!

The responses here seem very well thought out I’ll throw out another suggestion that I didn’t see mentioned (thought I’d posted this the other day but must not have clicked the button) Like you I wasn’t interested in the ongoing maintenance and management by owning directly and I was not...

Every average and trend has its outliers, sorry to hear that you are one of them. Although you are on a trawler forum, on a PC or phone with Internet access and are at least 71 years old.... so.... If you’re still feeling down in the dumps about life I strongly recommend The Rational Optimist...

The beauty of capitalism and the reason civilization is so much better off than we were 50, 100, and 1000 years ago is creative destruction. If West Marine was well run, efficient, and profitable the acquisition cost would’ve been unattractive to PE. They aren’t and so they are an attractive...

I used Latitude 34 out of Morehead City, NC great brokers with lots of insight into how to find the policy I needed for the price I wanted to pay. The quotes they gathered were all over the place, from lowest to highest was over 100% difference in price for nearly identical policies. Ended up...

Don’t forget synergies and ubiquity! I for one want to see the West Marine, Outback, Build-a-Bear synergistic experience at my local West Marine And damn L Catterton has ownership interests in a ton of interesting brands and businesses

A bit further north in NC and well protected is River Dunes in Oriental NC. It is just off the ICW/Pamlico Sound/Neuse river. You’re about 1/2-3/4 of a day from Beaufort inlet at trawler speeds. Docks are floating so even in a massive rain producing hurricane that floods the neuse and Pamlico...

Look for a counter depth refrigerator. With doors removed should be 24” or less. My GE cafe is 22” without doors

System A is definitely Garmin can’t speak to the others

Also not a fan of the forward master and the tight engine room either. For a bit more I’d go to a 58 or Selene 57 for a bit bit more the Bering 65 with the midship master For a bit less the two stateroom Selene 53

Welcome! Little Washington is a great place

I can still use all the advanced features by starting with a basic search from the home page then using the advanced filters on the left-hand side of the page when the results post. Example From home page search Nordhavn Then can select North America -> USA -> Can select multiple regions Can...

Nice to see a large group of baiting fans in the area. The admiral and I are relocating to Oriental in June of 2021 once we get our last two through graduation. No trawler for now, but in the plans.

That’s a fantastic intro to what promises to be a very interesting thread.

This is fantastic

Just ordered a new (non trawler) boat while we contemplate the long term trawler plans. We shopped four brands pretty heavily and we were told anywhere from 6 months (they had a slot with the mfr for the model we wanted) to "we will try to submit the order as a 2022 model but can't guarantee...
