Re: Best auxiliary power for a 34' Searunner Trimaran?

The engines in the pictures are in the up position. The engines are on standard outboard motor mounts that can be raised and lowed. When the engines are all the way down the props are about 12"...

Re: Best auxiliary power for a 34' Searunner Trimaran?

The diesel on my Searunner 37 died so I installed two 15 hp outboard motors. Go to https://buildingmytrimaran.shutterfly.com/ to see pictures of the installation.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Actually I have not had a chance to try out the new arrangement. The boat has been out of the water for 5 years to do all the repairs that were needed. I plan on launching the boat in June to sail...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I installed two Johnshon 15hp 2 stroke outboards on my Searunner 37. The inboard diesel died and I find outboards to be much simpler machines. Both the outboards are electric start. The pictures...

It is best to copy and paste the craigslist link. If you just click on it it comes back as an error

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I have decided on an asking price of $46.5k, but that is only an asking price. If someone looks at the boat and makes an offer I will probably take the offer, provided it isn't crazy low.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Go to the link below my name. That site has everything I have had to done to the boat.

There are plenty of other links to Searunners and a bunch of articles on "stuff" too.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

My boat is in the Hinckley yard in Portsmouth, RI, just north of Newport, RI. I'm sure the yard will not mind people climbing over the boat. It will not be in the water though. I can give any...

I am thinking of selling my Searunner 37 so I was wondering what the average selling price is for Searunner 37s.

Thanks for the kudos. If you go to the pictures page and scroll past my pictures there are pictures of more Searunners, mostly 37s.

If you have Powerpoint the GPS presentation is interesting. It...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Here are the plans for summer 2017:

As you know I left the boat in the RI boatyard over the winter. It just got too late in the season last year. So, this year I plan to arrive in RI the first...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I like two strokes, very simple. Plus, I can't afford two new four strokes. If I had tons of money I would have a Chris White Hammerhead 54, but with an aft cockpit (I don't like the aft cabin)

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

My 28 hp Volvo Model 2003 diesel on my Searunner 37 died so I installed two 15hp outboards. They are located amidships, not on a float but on outboard brackets. I have also installed dual steering...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I want to apologize for some of my statements above. I was in a bad mood when I wrote it. I do maintain that the Hinckley yard is a great place if you need a haul in RI.
