Hi All, My name is John. I finally purchased a trawler motorsailer yesterday. It is a fixer upper. I've been watching this boat for over 8yrs and the owner finally sold it. It is a 1974 Fales 32 motorsailer. I have been lurking on this site for a long time and thought now would be a good time to join. The information on this site is priceless.

Thank you
Rivertrader John

Greetings,
Welcome aboard. "It is a fixer upper." Well, my son, I suppose you'll have to make that Fales safe.
