Hey everyone.
I just got back from a sea trial for a 1981 Californian 42 LRC in which I have under contract. The sea trial went great and the 3208 Cats purred. She's in decent shape and pretty clean over all for her age. Dated with a few battle scars but the interior shows no signs of leakage . The engine room is very clean and the generator runs smooth with no big concerns visually. The navigational equipment is minimal and will have to be update eventually. It doesn't have an inverter and the electrical by all appearances are original. No rancor filters. all in all, I love this boat. The biggest mystery is the condition of the hall. I have a list of surveyors but they were presented to me by the selling broker. Does anyone here have experience with any surveyors from the Portland area? Any other comments or suggestions will be appreciated. This is my first Trawler experience. I want to slowly upgrade the systems and interior.
Thanks from Victoria BC
