New boat. (to me)

[Dan 72]

Hi all, I have been in the back ground reading all the post over the last couple of years. Learning a lot about the power boat side of things. I come from a sail boat back ground. We had a 44 ft ketch center cockpit and cruse Oregon, California and Mexico for 5 years. We sold it about 10 years ago and have been boatless sense then. But no longer, we just pulled the plug on a 51 ft Symbol Yachtfisher. Sea trial and survey to be done next week. It's a one owner boat and been kept in a boat house it's entire life and in fresh water on the Columbia river. In and out looks like it just rolled out of the factory. I will try to post a picture after survey and sea trial.

Thanks a lot to all that have posted on this form. I have learned a lot about many different things I did not know before. Now the real battle begins.

Dan, welcome to TF. When you get your new baby steer her upriver on the Columbia and come pay our area a visit. You'll love the area and the hospitality can't be beat.
