Re: Help! I have been given a sailboat and don't know what to do

You do you, but I wouldn’t spring for a brand new outboard if funds were tight. We bought ours at least 5 years ago for $200 and it has yet to skip a beat.

Re: Moving chain plates

You might notice I chose to let that sleight just sail on by. Everyone’s entitled to his opinion. Besides, it is pretty funny.

Moving chain plates

Just acquired a 1980 Hunter 30 and starting a complete refit. The 3 chain plates are smack in the middle of the side deck and I’m considering moving them out the 9” to the outside of the hull. Would...

Too funny. Guess we’ve all gotta be from someplace, right? Bless your heart for taking the time to post.

Hi John. Thanks for your note. I’m definitely going to be one of those people. Helps so much to hear from encouraging fellow sailors. BTW, love the name of your boat.

Re: Shout out

Hi Clamdigger. Our current boat is a MacGregor 23 which has been so much more fun than expected. I’m getting set to start restoring a Hunter 30 which I’m quite excited about. We’ll sail that all...

Re: Shout out

Don, thanks so much. All this encouragement is already ‘freshening my breeze’. The left coast may be a ways off but I sure won’t forget your kindness. Cheers

Re: Relative costs

I agree but at the end of the day the dollar rules the decision. I would have to get the 44 for about half the asking price to make it work but stranger things have happened. Plus, I'm not making the...

Re: Marina finds

Thanks one and all for the info and insights. I hope to have cash in hand by early summer and a decent project boat at the right price is very compelling to me. News of anything interesting in the 38...

Marina finds

Read an entry today from a yard in Maine that was trying recover some of their costs on a boat that was left there. In the end, someone scored the Morgan 38 for $5000. My question is this - how rare...

Hi Ann

Thanks so much for your time and thoughts. Points well taken. I really hope to entice friends and family to visit in the Caribbean and the aft cabin is a big selling feature in that...

Re: Relative costs

Good points. Have to say the GS appeals more for passengers and crew than for me for the reasons you point out. Can't argue with speed and comfort, though.

Re: Relative costs

The Morgan is the 382. Been aboard her plus been studying the breed for a long time. But you're right - the GS is a lot more boat for, in this case, about the same money so very compelling. Great to...

Re: Relative costs

The Morgan 38 has been my choice for some time based on years of research and personal preference. IPs etc. are lovely but not in my price range. The Gulfstar just came into view recently.
