Thanks! I will She's 15M x 3.75. Not sure if that is narrow or not. Probably more narrow than most purpose built pleasure boats, I would guess?

Hey Dan! Glad to hear from you! Hope all is well. It seems you missed an update. I have to replace her bottom. She'll be fresh as a daisy soon. It's a big reset for the interior, though. It's a race to get everything done by spring so I can actually get a move on.

Hey guys, I am experimenting here. Please take a look and let me know if this is something you want more of...Thanks!

Nice work! More photos please :)

There is wisdom in these words :)

Not sure if this was already linked in this thread but it is on point:

Yes, there are two amidship either side and two at the rudder either side. They are in reasonable shape, but will replace them.

Yes. When I was shopping for boats I saw that any boat older than 10 years usually included the date when it had it's bottom replaced or inspected. I knew this boat was hauled in 2018 and mistakenly thought he had addressed this. He did...with bondo, lol. Anyway, replacing the bottom is a...

Ah, poor wording on my part. There is plenty of steel, but I have another project going at the moment so I won't be buying the steel until January. I have to buy it all at once, so its a bunch of $ upfront.

Thanks for verifying the youtube is up. Regarding if it will be worth it; yes, it will be. As I mentioned I got this boat for a song and it is a proven design with good seakeeping, range, etc. This particular boat, the SSP Medium Net Lifter (sic) is interesting to me. The rebottoming is spendy...

And at the suggestion of some of you I have added some videos and started a channel. Basic at the moment, but if one or two of you could check it and confirm it works (i.e. - there are videos there, etc) I would be grateful. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpY3sV5iv3yGKr8jw1aIChg

Hi all, If you needed any further motivation to ensure that you have a thorough survey, let me add another object lesson. We got the results of our ultrasound. We will be replacing the bottom. There are a number of reasons why we couldn't get an ultrasound until now, but I am glad we know...

Thanks guys. I also got a drone while I was in the US, so here are a couple of pics of the boat being towed to the yard...

Hi all, It was an interesting summer... Due to the pandemic situation and politics, I was trapped in the US for the last three months. Needless to say, that slowed things down significantly. Sorry for the lack of updates. We had some guys working on the interior, but without us there they...

Hey! Thanks! I don't want to hijack the thread :). I will create an update this weekend.

Cruise ships should not only not be exempt, they should be held to much more rigid standards. They are terrible. I personally don't understand how a person can say "I love the sea" and then participate in its destruction...

A sailor's epitaph... Here lies Jonathon Day He died maintaining his right-of-way He was right, he was right, he was right all along But he's just as dead as if he was wrong

Fast is slow and slow is fast...

Hi Nick! Thanks for checking in. You might have missed this thread? https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/update-russian-trawler-4-a-58436.html We are spending July in the USA, so not much progress this month. The biggest update that I will post about when we are back in Russia is getting...

I guess I'm hoping sinking is like lightning strikes... :)

Aw, sorry to hear this. I hope he stays on the forums. He has been active and one of the more helpful contributors from what I've seen. As they say in Russia: Семь футов под килем!

Cheers! Here are a couple of photos of the recovery and replacement of the sunken pier and a shot of interior progress..

Hi Pete, I also follow My First Boat. You might also check out Dangar Marine. I highly recommend his channel. Both are very inspirational. Stu from Dangar Marine bought an old steel boat and has fixed it up and is now on a voyage from Sydney up the Gold Coast. Looks like he is also now...

I numbered them wrong, so this is update number 4. Not a lot to show at the moment, but we are still at it. Forward berthing is insulated, now working on wiring and walls. Dealing with some problems with the portholes and broken screws, boring things like this. Also, our pier sank. This...
