Another option is Pulling Bull, a yard in/near Rockport - which is south of Galveston and a little north of Port Aransas.

Re: Yanmar 2GM sudden severe corrosion
If the model #has an F, then it has fresh water / coolant radiator (still uses raw water to cool exhaust through elbow). Such as 2GM20F.

Re: Electric transportation when you get there!

Re: Please, do not whine....
Here, the rate is based on the slip and you can’t exceed slip length. So a 20’ boat could pay as much as a 40’ boat.

You can get “running papers” from the seller or the documentation person that applies for your CG certificate. It took over 6 months for me to get the CG certificate.
