Looks like a done deal. Seller has accepted Mrs. E's offer.

Sea trial and survey this coming week.

============================================

Congratulations, now the real negotiations begin!

Would this be the "Herz Knot Yerz" by any chance?

That's the one.

Sweet.

Just out of curiosity - does that sail deal actually work?

All the best,

I've used them.
And they make a noticable difference for the better in a beam sea.
And while they're not really made for it, I read about some folks who sailed a
32' through a bridge and into a harbor when their engine failed.

I am doing a good job just supporting the marina I'm in.

That's quite a boat.
His & Hers boats.......no life like it!

They are well on their way to achieving a goal of one boat for every
day of the week.

The possibilities boggle the mind. :)

Nah - I think they ought to buy their own Navy.

Next up - a diesel/electric Kilo class submarine.

Later,

Interestingly enough, we ended up with our GB49 because my wife felt
comfortable with it. It does have a nice homey feel in many respects.

It's also interesting how close the 36 and 49 are in appearance:

It's not "ours" whenever it needs cleaning and maintenance however.

Then it's mine.


Wow! Beautiful. I really like the layout and the second door on the
port side. Obviously a much bigger boat. What year is it? It looks
brand new.

I also took a peek at your other pics. Your pool looks very similar to
the one at our house in Jupiter, including the screen enclosure. Our
only problem is our enclosure no longer exists. Jeanne completely
destroyed it and there is about a year waiting list to have it replaced.

Very nice location, I might add. Sometime we'll have to meet down there.

I often wondered that - now I know.

I would think that there would be a lot of leeway with something like
that.

Boy, have I got a lot to learn. I thought the sail thingy was just to
confuse sailboaters.

====================================

Thanks. It was built in 1981, and yes, having a door on each side of
the main cabin is very convenient. The starboard cabin door is right
next to the lower helm which is very nice for single handed docking.

It had a new Awlgrip paint job on it when we bought it, and that is
holding up well. The external wood took a beating over the summer
however and I've got to get to work on that soon. We just finished
replacing one of the generators, as well as new props, bottom paint,
shafts and cutlass bearings. The next big projects are to replace the
fuel tanks, overhaul the refrigeration/freezer system, get a new SSB
radio, maybe a second radar, and get the autopilot working. The fun
never stops.

We're going to take it north next spring after I retire, and live on
it for the summer while we cruise all of our old favorites in the
north east.
