There are a few in the Seattle Puget Sound. There is a gorgeous boat house high maintain dock queen that is was for sale. The most well known is the Ursa Major that is a gorgeous charter up between Alaska and Mexico. Another was Sea Quest but she was taken down the coast. All are heavy plank wood and made in your area.
buying and maintaining an older boat you have to enjoy maintain and spending money on her.
