Hi All,
I have been lurking for a month, so I think its high time I introduce myself. The girl and I just bought a Californian 42 LRC that needs much work but has good bones. Rebuilt Perkins turbo diesels, 5 new 8D batterys and 2 new aluminum fuel tanks. The aft cabin windows leaked terribly necessitating a rebuild of the aft cabin and deck replacement. I just laid glass and epoxy over the new deck sections. Having beat the rain, I can now slow down a bit and relax. The new windows are vinyl basement windows and I think they work very well.
I am new to power boats but not new to boating. I have been a rag sailor all my life and I spent the last 4 seasons cruising Mexico on my Islander 36. Now it is time to enjoy Marina life here in San Diego and maybe have a few margaritas.
I have many questions and I hope you all can help with my learning curve.
