Well, last week we took on MORE responsibility!! Renne' and I have added another BOAT to our inventory!! Doggone, when will we learn.
Let me digress - Back in August, we were racing back to Key West following a wonderful trip up the East Coast to Annapolis and Baltimore. We stopped in Port Canaveral overnight, and while we were walking down the pier at Ocean Club of Port Canaveral, Renne' spotted a trawler for sale and stated she would like to look at it. I kinda rolled my eyes, and found the local broker there are the marina. he put us aboard, and we toured the boat. When we got off of her, we began discussing the pros and cons of purchasing her. We arranged to look at her again. We realized she appeared to be in excellent condition - at least as far as we could determine - so we put a deposit down, signed a contract, and headed south again for the Keys.
Here is what we found:
She is powered by twin Ford Lehman 2725E, 135hp engines with 2500 hrs (+ or - 100 hrs), newly rebuilt transmissions, a new 10KW Phasor Genset (630 hrs), a relatively new water maker (50 gal/hr), and what Renne' really liked, double beds fore and aft with walk around accessibility in both the forward and aft staterooms
Foreward Stateroom
Aft (Master) Stateroom
I have a bit of work to do on her before we move her to Houston:
New Garmin 4210 Charplotter
New F-1 Gulf Coast Filter pre filters for the fuel
New packing material in the packing glands
Tachometer work to be completed on 3 of the 4 tachs aboard.
We will add to this list as I look at the boat. For now, we are very excited!
See ya at the docks in Port Canaveral for Sundowners next week,
J & R
Love it. For now. ;)
