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. Eisboch Lookin' good & what price that grin from Mrs E:-) Hope the bottom is OK ................errr....the boat's of course:-) K LOL! |
