New to forum but for two cent !!
Looking for a trawler live aboard.
Fine looking boat of interest but owner posted one thing needed. Seems there is one rudder MISSING. Not too worry boat will hadle just as good with one.!!!

Okey just could not hold myself back had to see. Yep one is missing.

Some how twin engine forty foot vessl I would beleive might just need Two rudders ?

Possibly.
I have seen pictures of two boats around 65 feet with twin engines
and one skeg hung large center rudder.
The boats were "Pisces" and "Fifer".

Your nose knows!

The construction of many boats includes wood somewhere.

.Rotten wood smells , well ,like any old wooden boat.

If the boat has that "certain" smell it means a very cautious look at whats rotten below.
