Nice looking boat! Did you find a used one or are you
buying new? Trailer? Wheel or tiller?
Did you sail one, how was it? Where are you going to keep
her? What's the towing weight?
I see the beam is 8'4'', that's good!
Can't wait to see her,

Scotty


Thanks Scotty (and everyone else for the congrats!) I'm high as a kite right
now and can't wait can't wait can't wait to get her in the water!

This boat is perfect for me, sound enough for some coastal adventures,
dainty enough for some serious gunkholing. Towing weight is somewhere around
6K, per the current owner (not verified). But I'm pulling with a Dodge Ram
2500, 5.9L so I'm not too worried. And, I'll probably keep it in a slip for
much of the season. While I have my father around, I'll probably keep it
near him (South Jersey shore). Eventually I'll replant in the Chessy. In the
meantime, I'll be dropping her in and feeling my way around in your waters.

Anyway, it's a 2004, here's the list of options provided:

Wheel steering
Lazy jack system
Trailer, galvanized steel, tandem axel, surge brakes
Yanmar diesel, 2GM20, 18 hp, heat exchanger cooled

Sounds really great! Where is she lying and how'd you find
her?

I was going to ask about the open stern, but now I see
you've got boards.

Does that mean that the ice box drains into the bilge?

Is there a manual back up for the dagger board?

Scotty

She's in the water, Ithaca, NY., on Lake Cayuga. I have been searching for
many months now, and have driven many many miles to look at boats that
didn't work for me. I zeroed in on this one and contacted the owner. We hit
it off and by coincidence, we're both former Starwind 19 (Precision) boat
owners. So (yesterday) I told the wife to grab a jacket and we'd go for a
ride. We got in the car and she said, "where to?" and I said, "Ithaca, New
York, it's only 8 hours round trip and I'd like to look at a sailboat
there." She called me an a--hole and then we went and bought a boat.

The ice box doesn't drain into the bilge, I believe it is pumped out but I
don't know the particular configuration just yet.

There is a manual system for the dagger board in case the elec winch fails.

I really dig that open stern. : )
