Basically only a few people don't own aging crap, boats bought on tired
budgets with tiring problems.

Me and the 35s5....new enough to be problem free. She needs nothing.
Donal's 33.7.....even newer and sure to need very little.
Jeff's PDQ 36....also a newer vessel and not requiring anything major.

But the rest of the boats here are a sail away from the scrapyard. Some
boats, like Scotty Potty's or Mooron's are long overdo for being cut
up, crushed and parted out.

Give it 5 years and yours will look exactly like everyone else's...

I'm afraid not, Katy. Our 35s5 was owned by a Dot-com company and saw
very little use. She was a fresh water boat for most her life and spent
4 whole seasons in indoor storage. The survey noted her
condition/cosmetics as that of a 5 year old vessel.
So it'll be 15 years or so before she looks like your boat or the
others...and we won't have her for much more than 5 years as we're
buying a liveaboard.
And it won't be a trawler...we LOVE sailing.

I reiterate, in 5 years it will look like any other....

The difference is, we sail our boats.

Scotty

Tsk Tsk Tsk..... of course it won't Kitty. Bobsprit has once again purchased
with the mentality of an Off the Shelf, look-a-like, no maintenance vessel
with a stik'n'peel interior. It's a dock condo whore..... it will not
perform to his expectations ... and once again he will blame the vessel
rather than his lack of skills. Bobsprit spends more time waxing the fake
"veneer" and topsides than sailing. He does not buy from the heart..... he
buys based on resale value. A boat to Bob is not an extension of himself ,
nor is it a passion. Bobsprit buys with a powerboater's mentality. He is in
actuality a Power Boater...... and will never be satisfied with any
"stepping stone" unless it has 2 floors, and 2 diesel engines.

Anyone here has a better sailboat than Bobsprit...... because he has no idea
of what a good vessel is. Any boat you buy becomes a project boat. To prove
my point.... how many owners here have not made alterations, improvements or
additions to their boats????

Indeed you are correct, Bob has never owned a boat long enough to know
anything about it, except what a broker or brocure says.

Next he thinks his stepping stone is going to be a
liveaboard.....Bwahahahahahahahahaha it will never happen.

Certainly it will...... when he buys his Trawler. Bobsprit has funding from
his parents and his wife. The only question is... will it be a Nordhaven or
a Cape Hatteras???

It will never happen, he's not cut out for it......even on a trawler.


Joe

it will not
perform to his expectations .


Too late, Mooron! We already sailed her twice and she's frikin' fast
and fun! Down below is nice and room is much more than your boat. Best
of all we won't have to redo poor craftsmanship as you did. The fit and
finish of the 35s5 is excellent as noted in the surveys.
