Re: Unmaintained Saildrive? Am I asking for it...

That's exactly what we were thinking we'd do. Replace the entire power plant and saildrive and not worry about in the near future. Its just getting the boat at a price to make that happen for us.

Re: Unmaintained Saildrive? Am I asking for it...

They did have it hauled out and a full survey was performed, but the broker did not provide any pictures, but I also didn't think to ask about any. I'm new to buying a boat and generally pretty...

Re: Unmaintained Saildrive? Am I asking for it...

That's the boat! Unfortunately, I don't see them coming down enough on the price to make it affordable to us with the work that I think it's going to need. The broker was great and is incredibly...

Re: Unmaintained Saildrive? Am I asking for it...

Thank you. I assumed the engine was specific to the sail drive. So the engine can either be used for either a conventional shaft drive set-up or sail drive. Its just the lower that varies between...

Unmaintained Saildrive? Am I asking for it...

I recently looked at 1984 Wauquiez Pretorien that has sat in a marina for a number of years. Researching the boat, it seems its been unmaintained and just floating in the marina for possibly 7...

Re: Boat recommendations

Re: Boat recommendations

Is a SeaRay a trusted boat? I get the feeling after researching them that its cheaper made and of lesser quality. Either way, Wednesday we're going to look at a few that are for sale. Figure we...

Re: Boat recommendations

We did 17 days around Vancouver Island, rain most days, sleeping in the bed of the truck. I built a bunk system for the kids to sleep on and the wife and I slept under it. It was a hassle moving...
