Hi,

I owned a Hunter Passage 420 for a number of years and realized that while I liked the idea of sailing, I really liked to get where I was going and spend most of my time motoring.

I just purchased a 1995 Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse. As I'm sure you all know, this is much like buying a used house. It's it pretty good shape, but the prior owners made improvements that were not done well and neglected other parts.

I'm looking forward to getting advise regarding problems I encounter as I move forward in my new life as a trawler owner.

Thanks,
Mark
