Our search for a trawler has brought us to an Albin 36 which looks just right except for having partially flooded due to a broken hose. (Close those seacocks!)
I'm awaiting a copy of the insurance survey but have seen a shipyard invoice showing that almost everything was replaced and the transmission rebuilt. Reportedly, the pump out was prompt and even the bilge pumps and float switches were replaced.
I'm thinking this could be a good thing since much of the auxiliary machinery and wiring is now only a year or two old. One thing I notice is that the generator was only pickled and not replaced. I'm sure the engine is OK but wondering about the electrical side.
We're about to drive 800 miles to look at this boat so I would appreciate any opinions, preferably from anyone who has a boat that has been through this.
