Hello / Recently Joined Forum

Hello everyone,

My name is Randy & I joined the forum in October. My lovely wife and I own a Ocean Alexander Mark 1 we purchased in May of 2012. I have read quite a few posts prior to joining & learned a lot from the forum especially when we were searching for the right boat to purchase. Just thought I introduce myself.

Regards, Randy

Hello fellow Washingtonian! There are quite a few of us on here. Nice looking boat you have there that picture looks like it's taken at Sucia.

Happy boating,
Bob and Jill

Thanks Bob, I appreciate the welcome!

Welcome aboard. You have a great boat for cruising. What are your plans?

Marty

Welcome aboard Sir!

My wife and I are still looking and have been aboard a few of the Ocean Alexanders and really liked them! More pics and more info please........congrats Brad & Michelle

Marty,

We cruise the San Juan & Gulf Islands. Plan on making up to Alaska when life permits some day. Looks like you have a very nice Krogen 42. I like the Krogen trawlers. How do you like her?

Welcome aboard.
Great looking boat

After 15 years of having Bay Pelican we are of course totally unbiased. Actually the Krogen 42 has been a great cruising boat for a couple. In the sweet spot of the size range and capable of going where we want to take her.

My start with a Krogen 42 was in Anacortes where we chartered a Krogen 42 and cruised the San Juan Islands. You are fortunate in having a wonderful cruising grounds at your door step.

Krogen

Marty,

Sounds like you are pretty happy with your boat. That is how we started out as well. We chartered a new Selene out of Anacortes when we lived in Colorado. That started a trawler fever for us & a love for the San Juan Islands. We decided we wanted a pilothouse, fly bridge, mid ship stateroom, twin engines, & fuel economy. That is how we ended up with Kik N Birrd our OA Mark 1. With the Lehman 120's we cruise 8 knots & burn 4 gallons per hour. We have 3 Krogens near us at our marina & my wife & I always stop & look at them. We like the lines & the cockpit.

Regards, Randy

Wishing you many happy years of cruising. With your boat i assume someday you will go to Alaska.

Really nice boats. Mr Monk tore a page out of Mr DeFever's book when he penned her. I almost pulled the trigger on one several years ago but she had 10,000 hrs on her 3208 cats.

We looked at several 49' Defever's during our search for a boat. The plan B has pretty much the same layout as our Mark 1.
