Well I’ve bought into a dream I’ve had for quite some time; she’s a 28’ Pelagic trawler style, made in Victoria in 1982. She has a straight 6 Isuzu diesel that pushes her along at 7kts. She’s in fair condition for her age and I dream about taking the family around the sheltered waters of the southern gulf islands this winter and spring, before venturing up north. She’s very seaworthy and has a top station as well. The more I look her over catching up on her maintenance the more I notice parts that require attention. I’ll try and figure out how to post pictures. I’m removing the heat exchanger to have it gone through at the local radiator shop soon and replacing all the belts, and trying to keep the water out of the dodger and leaking down into the wheelhouse again. I must reinstall the dickenson oven and fibreglass repair in the roof/top deck eventually, and am shopping for a radar&arch as well as plotter/sounder. That’s enough to start with, safe voyage guys.
