Hi folks! Been a lurker off and on for a while, live in the NW of WA state. I know at least one member on her personally. Eric of LaConner. I recently purchased a 78 CHB 34' Puget Trawler with the ubiquitous Ford Lehman diesel. Was surveyed in Bellingham about a month ago. A few repairs made up there, then brought it home to LaConner. Keeping it under cover at least for now, though presently hauled again in LaConner for more repairs and upgrades. So far so good, its going pretty well. Had the worrisome fuel tanks, drained, cleaned, inspected and pronounced good to go by PetroClean, so that was a big plus! Doing the usual stuff now, replacing some valves, doing stuffing boxes etc. Stripping the teak on the transom for refinishing. Anyway glad to be here, thanks!
