I'm retired and recently purchased a 1979 Tollycraft 30' Sedan with twin Volvo diesels to keep me busy and get back on the water. I've owned runabouts for over 40 years, but have lost the need for speed and just want to enjoy the cruise now. Also, I believe a 30 footer is the most I can handle by myself.
The boat was delivered to Seattle from the factory and cruised the PNW and Alaska waters for 16 years. The second owner cruised Puget Sound and eventually moved to Portland, OR. I am the third owner.
When I found this forum I was impressed with the depth of knowledge and experience of the posters here. I look forward to asking stupid questions and getting useful answers based on experience instead of theory. I know almost nothing about diesels
Ironically my first boat in 1970 was a Tollycraft 17' roust-a-bout, so I have come full circle. I plan to travel the Columbia River and may one day get enough courage to try the open ocean (the Columbia Bar is a little intimidating).
