Good day all. Just bought "Satori", a 1984 34' Taiwanese trawler. We'll keep her in the current slip here in San Pedro, just a few blocks from our house.
We've been chartering sailboats for years, but I've been keeping an eye on the trawler market for a while now. I like boats with character (pain-in-the-ass wood and teak), rather than all the white plastic that's so easy to clean. Saw "Satori" for sale and it was perfect. The previous owner posted on these boards a few times about things he was working on, so you may remember the boat. It's in great shape and the wife and I are looking forward to finding out if actually owning a boat is for us.
I've got a few project already begun; stripping out a lot of old, unused wires; and then installing an overboard macerator pump along with replacing the aging holding tank.
I'm looking forward to asking a whole bunch of dumb questions about everything.
