Ok. Here's a couple of pics of the boat I am zeroing in on.



Forgot .... it's a 34' Sabreline "Fast Trawler".

It looks more like a floating condo!


Boat style is a personal preference. Whatever floats your boat, you know.
I much prefer a traditional boat design compared to bubble boats or the
sleek "Euro" style with nothing but curves.

Nothing wrong with them of course, and they serve a large market. Great for
younger families with kids that want to swim, tube, etc.

But, not for me.

Mainship?

Looks really nice - love the specs.

Hmmm- where did you say it was located? :)


Question 1: Sabreline
Question 2: Nevermind :-)

Does it have a seperate berth for Sam Adams, or does he share your berth?

No way does he share my berth. * *He burps and farts in his sleep.
Sam is not exactly cultured or refined.

My wife says the same about me...

I guess I won't be sharing your berth either, Richard?

I had a 31 Silverton with 318s that looked similar. I liked it a lot. Is
that a Mainship by any chance?


Sabreline.

Do you remember "Joyfull" (Howie and Joy) ? They traded their old boat in
for a brand new Sabreline. Good looking boat and fast for a semi-trawler
style.

The one I am looking at is much older, but similar. No more new boats for
me.

Ah - now I know. I was like Jim - I thought it was a Mainship.

Sabreline - one brand I had not thought of. I really like the looks
of that boat on the hard - very clean lines and the specs are
something that I could live with - in particular the cruise speed.

Where did you say it was located? :)

And it's big enough that you could ban JustWait to one end flailing away
with his fishing line while you're safel at the other. :-)

That's what I like about having a real cockpit. Although not really
designed for fishing, you still can if in the mood.
Here's the cockpit:

VERY nice 36'er. I own a bubble boat express cruiser, but I have always
liked a boat with the classic design. My wife was a major influence on
me purchasing the bubble boat, she liked the interior space and large
forward berth. The not so funny thing, is she very rarely comes up to
the lake.

Have to admit... if I won the lottery (unlikely since I don't buy tickets),
trawlers are the style boat I'd be looking at.

You might be surprised to learn just how easy it is to single hand a
GB49. I've done it a number of times. The weight and full length
keel really help it to stay put when you park it in a breeze.



There's a GB49 for sale locally up here in beautiful shape, but after having
the Navigator, I want to downsize.
I am really the only one in the family that has serious boating interest.
The family and friends like to visit once in a while or go for an
afternoon's boat ride, but are otherwise busy with their lives, interests
and hobbies.

GB's are highly desirable, but as with all boats, condition and maintenance
is critical in terms of resale. I was talking to a broker yesterday who has
had a GB49 listed since 2004 without a single offer despite several price
reductions. Apparently the owners have neglected it for years and now have
a serious problem. They are starting to consider the donation route.

There's also a couple of GB36's with twins that have recently come on the
market. Both are not anywhere near as well maintained and equipped as the
one we have now, so they show with a little bit of disappointment for us.
If our GB36 had twins, we would not even consider selling it.

Besides, I like to "shake things up" once in a while. Try new things.

Sabreliner...great boats. Hope it works out for you.
