If this was on the West Coast, I'd be all over it. By far my favorite layout of the Californian. I am indeed. There are few out there I'm giving a closer look at.

gsholz, koliver: I'm in agreement with you gents. Although the owner on this boat has been such for almost 20 years, it seems she has been consistently neglected the better half of the back half. The engines worry me to most, right now. Lord only knows what I'd find at haul-out time. Talking to...

What does a round-trip airline ticket cost from Au Gres, Michigan to Monterey, California? Because I may need that friend here soon! I like the honesty, sir. While I'm not a complete dolt with maintenance issues, I am more inexperienced than I'd prefer to be, especially making a large...

FlyWright: I was assuming they were fuel filters, because the Baldwin oil filters are on the engine blocks. I'm handy enough, but my main concern is having parts on one or both the Perkins break that I can't replace. Another concern would be a crank or block going on the clockwise rotation...

Here are some shots of the boat from earlier today. The rot at the rear sliding window is enough that I'd have to take care of it soon. Bottom paint is shot (5 years old). Onan wouldn't start. Arrived and the owner had already cranked up the engines so "there were no glitches," - I wanted to see...

Title asks it all. I'm basically at the starting line of buying a 1976 Californian 42 and need to know what to look for in the way of gotchas and weaknesses and thought I'd ask for ya'll's opinions. Here are some stats: -Current owner has been with the boat for 18-19 years. It's lived those...

Art - The things I want in a boat... Two (reliable) diesel engines, drinking from aluminum tanks that equal a range of at least 600 miles. The hull I'd prefer to be a semi-displaced, as a 10(ish) knot speed would be loved, although a cool 8 knots cruise is what I'd really be shooting for...

Mramoo - That's awesome. I hear the airplane is a pleasure to work on, from all our mechanics. Although I can imagine China Lake left you wanting a more scenic location to live? :) I actually like the area, good upland bird hunting in that part of the world! Peter B - Thank you, sir. But I...

Thank you for the welcome, my friends! The airplane is an OV-10 Bronco. Marine, USAF, NAVY close air support plane during Vietnam. We use them as tanker lead planes and air attack platforms for fire out here in California. One fun airplane to fly. When I hit the 10 posts mark I'll be sure to...

Good evening (PDT) everyone. My name is Jeff. I'm currently the owner of a small 26' sloop out of Wilmington, Ca and looking for my next jump, a trawler. Been looking for a few years now, and after hours, days, weeks, months of web/dock hours searching for the right vessel, my occupation has...
