, the boat is now at AYB.
I have a 1973 "Knot Again" Bought the boat last year in Detroit. Went across Lake Erie, all of the Erie Canal system (Senneca,Oswego,Champlain) down the Hudson, down NJ, up the Delaware, down the Chesapeake, met Sandy in Baltimore
Great boat has done more then expected! Last boat was a Nordhavn, We kept in the Northwest for the last 7 years.

. The Admiral is less than totally thrilled with the idea that there's only one head now, but I'm not giving up the nav station. We may try to work a head only back in once she's all ours, perhaps by putting in a shallow cold plate install in place of the reefer, and putting a head in the area behind it. We have a sistership to yours. Our hull # is 65, also built in 79.
I was fooled at first by the nav/work station til I read the ad, where it told about the forward head being removed and replaced.
If you ever have any questions...feel free to ask. We've had Just a Tinch since 2007...live aboard full time, and we've done a lot of work on her since acquiring her.
The boat you've got an offer/contract on looks really nice!! Just curious, what is her hull number....the two digits after the GFS044.... Also, I have a friend in the same marina with a sistership also....and he can supply tons of information as well.

Thanks! There's no such thing as too much info
I've heard that blistering can be a problem on some models, but that the ones made later than 1978 were a little better. Have you had any problems in that area?
I'm at work and don't have the hull number in front of me, but I'll add it when I can. I'm going back down to Great Bridge this evening in prep for the survey and sea trial tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Al this was a unique purchase before the boat was purchased it was laid up for 4 years so I got the owners permission to bring in my own mechanic and a tank/ fuel polishing service. The tank was opened the dip rods cleaned the tank was cleaned and inspected but 180 gallons of fuel had to be removed and disposed. Next I had the diesel mechanic change the Sherwood impellers, replace coolant, hoses, belts, replace all oil and filters and replace engines and generators primary and secondary fuel filters. In addition the valves on the Perkins were checked and adjusted. The thermostats were changed. The generator needed the oil sender replaced. I wanted the best possible outcome considering the engines sat for 4 years. It turned out great.
