We had a great day today, a nice little boat ride and the benefit of a
very knowledgeable marine surveyor. His personal boat is a Grand Banks
42, of about the same vintage as the one Mrs.E is buying, so there was
a wealth of information about these boats that he willingly shared.

I've never been underway on a trawler or any type of single screw boat
for that matter (other than I/O and outboards) and was very surprised
at how responsive the GB 36 is to the rudder. She motored along
happily at 8 knots with 6 people aboard. Kinda reminded me of a large
launch service boat in a way.

Learned a lot and so far the surveyor has found nothing wrong to speak
of. The fuel tanks are in great shape, which was one of my major
concerns. The boat is going to be hauled next week and the surveyor
will return to tap the bottom and check everything else below the
waterline.

Mrs.E came along for the ride and took the helm for part of the little
cruise with a big grin on her face.
