Salvage Yards - Oregon and Washington

I was thinking there might be some decent boat salvage yards in Oregon and Washington, but a quick Google search didn't show anything up. I'm mostly looking for wood parts such as hand rails and some...

Re: Formosa 41 - $11,500 (Everett WA)

Says the cabin has been rebuilt. I emailed him but haven't heard back from him yet.

Re: MORGAN 42' Sailboat

Hi CaptWho - this one might not quite fit the budget after all - "Asking $74,950/obo"
Wish it did! :smile:

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

The Axiom 7's that I have looked at have the transom mount transducer. I am curious how you mounted the Chirp transducer inside and it still operates correctly. I don't know much about how...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

That's good to know. It does power up and appears to function. Right now it will not acquire satellites becase the cable is pulled loose from the BNC connector on the back of the unit. Easy fix or...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

Ok, just a quick update: After connecting power to them, I have tested the existing equipment to see which will power up. So far, everything seems to power up. The ancient radar appears to work (I...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

I hope to install at least an AIS receiver at some point, but a few things first.

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

Great to know! I was wondering about that. With the cost of a new tiller pilot, it would be far down on my list of replacement items. The wind and depth (Tridata) are Autohelm which I believe is all...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

I do have OpenCPN on a laptop which I will be using, but in the end, I want something dedicated and maybe a bit more weather resistant than my laptop for reliability. It seems I even messed with...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

Correct. This summer would be nice, but probably won't be complete by this summer. Hopefully the basics will be functional by then.

Yes - I plan on keeping everything that is functional. So far,...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

Do you have a link to that thread? I would like to read through it also.
You are correct - I haven't inventoried everything yet. Radar and Chartplotter are non-functional at the moment, but I think...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

Sounds good. That is a big part I was wondering about. I do know that the wind instrument is non-functional due to a broken sender at the top of the mast. Depending on what exactly it is, I may be...

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

I saw the axiom 7 advertised yesterday. The only thing that I didn't like about it was no depth, but really, my depth find seems to be working fine so it's not an absolute necessity.

Re: Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

I actually already have an old laptop with OpenCPN set up on it and an inexpensive GPD - USB dongle. I still have to test it, but it worked ten or more years ago when I was messing with it on our...

Upgrading Old Electronics (Circa 1995)

Our boat has old - some non-functioning electronics on it that I would like to slowly start upgrading. I don't have a big budget for all brand new electronics so am looking at replacing the...

Re: Cold Molded Wylie 38 - Wet Wood

And the verdict is in: There is no fiberglass, cloth, mat, roving or anything else like that on the inside of the hull. What you see in the picture is simply the wood grain showing through the paint...

Re: Cold Molded Wylie 38 - Wet Wood

I will know for sure on the glass roving pretty soon as we are getting started stripping the rotten sheer strake out. The lower skin of the deck in the photo definitely has rot issues as well. We...

Re: Cold Molded Wylie 38 - Wet Wood

Hi Bill, Actually, I don't have to do the test on epoxy penetration - you are absolutely correct. I firmly believe in replacing rotten wood if at all possibly. I don't like just putting a bandaid on...
