Is Bajabuzz talking about a marina in BC (British Columbia) or BC (Baja California)? Just wondering because of his name and location.

Our boats probably were built in the same yard as Barry Farrell worked out of the Independent Shipwrights sheds in Coombs, BC.

Victoria has been very quiet this summer without our American friends. Vic Harbour Authority docks more than half empty and majority of boats there when we visited were off-season monthlies that they allowed to stay for the summer. We were one of only a handful of transients.

Murray, I believe the Kitimat boat is called Toorie and is a 1988.

oops, don't know what happened to the photos...

Yes Murray, one of the few IS25 boats is in Kitimat -- less than 20 were built from mid-80s to early 90s, some on a semi-custom basis. IS built fishboats, patrol boats and pleasure craft up to 60 ft. Still in business but now building tanks for aquaculture. The rolling chocks vary from boat to...

Yes it is 25ft. But with the anchor roller and Livingston hanging off the stern, my marina measures it at 28ft. Measurements are 25' x 8' 4" x 3' with base weight close to 6,000 lb.

Hello all. I have been running under radio silence for the past couple of years. But I thought I would post this link to a video I made recently about my "new to me" Independent Shipwrights IS25 trailerable pocket trawler which I bought a year ago. The downsizing continues as the Formosa 42...

After years of sailing and sailboats, we converted over to the "dark side" and started enjoying trawler-style cruising boats. Here are the four we have owned over the past dozen years: 1982 Campion 310 Adventure Trawler (2009-2013) 1983 Formosa 42 Europa Sedan (2012-2017) 1972 Ennos 31 Pilothouse (2

Boat is SOLD (finally).

We have a couple of 6-speed, 20"-wheel folders. My wife has a Dahon licenced knock-off (DAHON LICENSE TECHNOLOGY) and I have a Kettler Verso with wide knobby tires (VERSO TRANSPORT FLDG BIKE, 20" | bikes | unisex). They are on the boat in summer and go south with us to Arizona and Mexico in the...

The Europa works well for us. Underway, we both love being on the flybridge (ours is 20 ft long by 11 ft wide) but for tight navigation, docking and picking up mooring buoys, I am always at the lower helm. It is great to be only one step from the wheel to the dock through the side doors & gates...

to the top with a new asking price of $18,000

Smuggler Cove, Sunshine Coast, BC is pretty special even in summer when you don't have it to yourself.

I'd be happy to email you some photos and info if you send me a pm. I have not had much luck posting multiple pics in these threads and I figure anyone interested will contact me for more info.

Yes, it's the 310 model which has the aft berth. The 300 version does not.

Finally listing our Campion now that we have moved to Campbell River and have to pay for mooring (two boats). 1981 Campion 310 Adventure trawler. 30ft long x 12ft beam with an economical Mercruiser 470 gas inboard (2500 hours), 9ft Livingston dinghy with 7.5hp Evinrude. The boat is basically...
