Hey Ken,
*** Welcome and I love that boat too.* A good thing you bought it because I would have if you did not(I found out about it just a little later than you).* It used to be "Sea Angel" or somehting like that didn't it???* Anyway, she is looking nice and it's sounding like she is serving you well.
Take care and trawler on,
John

Sorry to go totally silent since I started this thread.
As you can see from my new avatar, the Admiral (Ruth), and I are proud owners of "Georgia Peach," formerly "JOURNEY to..." owned by Ron and Charma Owens of Apollo Beach, Fl. She's a grand old gal (the boat, not...nevermind).
So now you know the rest of the story....

See the Technical Help section on tips and known (mostly Mac) problems.* This should get your picture posting fixed.
I have a Defever 48' Repowered with twin Cummins 210"s and a 12KW Northen lights. I built a fiberglass hard top to replace the bimini and installed 2 110watt solar panels. I"m going to add 2 more this spring. With the Niaids it doesn't roll at all. I love this boat.

- DeFever 48 (sold)
Hi: I traveled over from PMM. Nice to see a website that works at normal speed. I have a 2003 DF 48 tri cabin #168. Keep the boat in BC near Victoria. Lovely spot. Bought it from the broker in Sausalito, Chuck Green, who I believe got out of the business. I burn less than 5 gph both engines plus genset - Perkins 225TIs. Normal issues but sure like it that DF is staying in business with low new purchase $$$ and good quality.

Not free, but well worth membership. If you own, or plan to own, a DeFever definitely sign up.

- DeFever Downeast 40 - 1979
Thanks for the compliment....We bought her in April and took delivery in May....Yes, I have opened up the 440 (only to keep the Turbo lubed)*and lets just say all the surfers would love it! lol
The PO did a fantastic job of restoring her to near new condition, interior as well as paint. We have been doing the brite work on cap/hand rails and using Epithane and really like the result.
We have only gone on some short cruises around here, but we do plan on venturing out and hopefully the Western Caribbean will be our destination in the near future.
I can sure see the sistership in our boats,*how long have you*owned her? She is a beautiful boat.*

Greetings,
New owner of an older 49 RPH.* She is currently lying in North Carolina for some work, but we will soon be moving her to her new home in Virginia.* We are looking forward to using her in the Chesapeake to get used to her, and venturing further in a few years.
Thansk for all of the wisdom shared on this forum.* We have learned a lot, and still have a long way to go.
No longer,
"Wannabe"

I've been lurking and soaking up information/knowledge for a long time now.* We recently closed on Gray Hawk and she is currently berthed in Elliott Bay, Seattle.* But we're paying for two berths so she will be moving to Sidney, BC as soon as we can get organized enough to make the move, likely between Christmas and New Years or in early Jan.* She was described on Yachtworld as a 43 Defever but what looks to be the original drawings were onboard and they show her as a 42 foot ocean cruiser.* When we get to Sidney they are going to measure us - then we'll know for sure.

- DeFever Downeast 40 - 1979
Welcome to the DeFever family, and to this forum as it is certainly the fountain of information as you are already aware. Ya just gotta luv this place.
I am a fairly recent owner of a DeFever so I'm not as well versed as others, however, my boat too is advertised as a 40 Downeast, but in fact, the documentation shows her at 36'2". I am assuming this to be the waterline length, but then we know what happens when we assume

I am about to be a Defever 40 owner. I have a question. My HIN number is PAS401091073 I know the last for were the month and year being October 1973. A friend of ours has hull #3 also built in 1973 with his hull number starting out as PAS40003..... Should the 109 of my HIN be the hull number? It is hard to think that they laid 109 hulls in the first year they built the 40.
