Hello- According to a brochure that came w/ boat, we have joined the Trawler Experience w/a 36' 1985 Ka Shing Sundeck. Prior to now, The boat has sat shrinkwrapped for the last few years. We're ready to do some Great Lakes' Cruising!
We pretty much have NO history of the boat and no info avail from PO.
Here's what we do know: We've got Twin Volvo/Penta TMD40A diesel engines, an engine that overheats pretty quick, a few left behind manuals, a hard time finding parts, a Bimini structure w/a missing canvas, rotted seals around windows, lots of teak that needs re-done (a WIP), no exterior shine. There's an AC system and 2 sleeping areas. We've not even tried the Generator or inverter. It seems to Rock at the Dock waaay more than any boat in the marina, and lists to the starboard side, even after removing bags w/Meal chips in .
The biggest hurdle today is reconstructing the disconnected Mast.. it has been a total stumper for us. not sure if we're missing parts, or just ignorant. ((I'll post in General Discussion if anyone can help!))
Here's a photo of the Sales Brochure found on the boat. And, partial boat pic from our pre-launch hull work.
We're on Lake Erie's Western Basin in Ohio, and looking forward to actually enjoying this all someday!!
If you have any insights to share on this boats origin or history, or anything, we welcome it all! Thanks in Advance.
