Wow, if that's the same boat as advertised on the Off Centre site, I salute your courage, tenacity, and above all your taste.
Congratulations!

Can't wait to see what projects you pick up in this one. The new electronic dash set up you completed on the GB was killer! Of course all the personalization you and Jill completed too was top notch! I am sure you'll be a great custodian for this vessel as you were for the last.
Happy boating Bob!

Magnificent boat Bob
Would like a full report on the Navy anchor. You’ll probably be amazed by it. There was a trawler in LaConner that went up in SE every summer in a 50’ steel trawler and he always had the Navy anchor on the bow. Had nothing but good to say about it. However when I asked him why he didn’t have windshield wipers he said casually “don’t need them”. I don’t either and was interested in his response.
Like the old cars this boat of yours may have vacuum operated wipers.
Her lines look straight. Seems you found a good one.
Cedar on oak?
Original power? Prolly not. That could have been gas.

From the picture, it looks like a very large boat until you consider the man standing on the bow. SMILE

I gets better with every picture. Yes, there is upkeep,your bright work skills will be called upon, but the advertised price was amazing, I expected a lot more $ ask. Congratulations, a vessel approaching its centenary in better condition than most boats of any age.

Welcome back stateside!
Seafarer is BEAUTIFUL, Bob! What a great way to return to boating!
Will she remain in a covered slip? If so, that should help to minimize the labor needed to preserve her in her bristol condition.

She bears a startling resemblance ( at least to me ) to Herman Goring's yacht as seen in the video linked below. Goring's boat was 90 feet long...but this could be its little sister !!
