almost boat owners

Hi,
My wife and I are hopefully buying a 1981 37ft north sea trawler. The surveyor completed the mechanical and electrical inspection with little returns. a few small items that need replaced. The boat is being hauled on the 29 July for the hull inspection then followed by a sea trial. The boat is super clean and show that the owner has taken pride in the boat as I will when I own it. We are planning on living aboard with our two cats and dog. This year we will do short sail around Vancouver island and vicinity. So hi to all and wish us luck on everything going good.
Cheers

29 June for the haul.

Welcome to TF .Good luck with haul out and sea trial.

Greetings,
Welcome aboard eh?

Welcome to the forum! Hope the sea trial is everything you are expecting.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard TF. Just a suggestion--we all like to see photos of people using their boats and the places they cruise to. I've been to Victoria a couple of times by boat and it's beautiful country.

Well the boats engine and transmission oil sample came back. They are all in the green, which is good to go. Now gor the final haulout next Thursday and wd should be new owners

Welcome aboard and good luck with the boat.

Yes, welcome, and congrats on buying what looks like a nice vessel. You might want to go back in and edit your profile, as you are selling your boat short. About 10 ft short I think.

Nice boat! Get it on and good luck!

Yes it was 10ft short, fixed now. Thanks

Greetings,
Mr. s. Not so fast. That 27' is for "dockage $$" purposes.

Well, the survey turned out really good, only a few minor items. So we are now proud owners of a 37ft North Sea trawler.

Congratulations !!!!!!!!

Thanks

Congratulations. Nice boat.

YAY!!!! Happy to hear! Congrats and enjoy her!

Congratulations!!! We are still waiting for our inspection, glad every thing was good for you! Beautiful Trawler! Scott

There is a few small items that need to be done like batteries but i will replace them very soon.

Lol, batteries aren't small, unless of course you replace them with a small credit card.

True but it was something i knew before i bought it. No not small but it was bugeted for.

We're also from Victoria. Hope to see you on the water

Yes Doug hope to see you on the water

Congrats on the purchase. Now let the fun begin!

I have a few things to do to bring it up to my standard but overall it surveyed to be a well looked after boat. I do need new batteries for house and starting. So that is project #1. Wife will decorate as she has been buying nautical stuff for a few days now. Pic will come soon when done.
