Your new boat experience must be different than mine. I purchased a 2007 dealer demo Ranger R-21EC Tug in Hawaii and the systems documentation that came with it was not even remotely comparable. There was a generic owner's manual with two or three very basic system line drawings. Our 2005...

The SeaKeeper 3 lists for $27K and the money saved by passing on the GENSET would take a big bite out of that purchase price. Just speaking for myself, I think it would be worthwhile upgrade, no matter how you planned on using the boat.

SeaPiper 35 Systems Schematics I have attached a 12 page systems schematics file for a typical SeaPiper 35. These really have to be to be seen to be fully appreciated. Whether you do most of the work on your boat yourself or have the work done for you, having an accurate systems schematic...

That is a concern of mine as well because of the narrow beam. However, the hull is ballasted and it has a very low CG. That being said, the price point of the SeaPiper allows for the addition of a SeaKeeper 3 gyro stabilization system without breaking the bank...

The first SeaPiper 35 has been delivered and the company has started to update the computer renderings on their website with photos of the actual boat. I have been corresponding with the company president Ritzo Muntinga for the past year and have been very impressed with the quality of the...

USS Arizona Memorial Nice model. I lived in Hawaii from 2003 to 2014 and I would go over to Ford Island in the early morning hours on December 7th, before the bridge was opened in preparation for the anniversary commemoration. Every year a ship from the Pacific Fleet would be selected to...

Spoonbill was completed in 2009 and assigned HIN# MGYDH064J809. The first Great Harbour Trawler built was given Hull #10, so Spoonbill's 064 designation indicates that she was the 55th Great Harbour Trawler built. Mirage signed the Builder's Certification and First Transfer of Title (USCG Form...

Hi Norm, My research confirms what Henry wrote. In the GH47 series, Hull numbers 1, 3 and 8 were built without the fly bridge. Henry's boat, Hull #1, was built in 2000 after the first 11 GH37s were splashed. At that time the fly bridge was not an option. The first fly bridge installed by...

As of the last post on October 31st, Spirit Song had not been delivered. Here is a link to the new blog: https://oldmanriverandcoco.blogspot.com/

Insandity returning to Kenlake Marina yesterday afternoon after the barrels were loaded.

Five boating magazines that I am aware of published articles either online or in print in the summer and fall of 2016 stating that Mirage would have a TT35 ready for the Annapolis Boat Show starting on October 13th, 2016 or completed shortly thereafter. Included in this group was PassageMaker...

The TT35 being displayed at the Annapolis Boat Show is Hull #2, christened Spirit Song. It was purchased earlier this year by the gentleman who started the blog below in February: https://oldmanriverandlincoln.blogspot.com/2017/02/ He had intended on starting the Great Loop this year, but the...

I would suggest Reynolds Park Yacht Center in Green Cove Springs. Holland Marine has a lift on site that has hauled 47 foot Great Harbour trawlers, so hauling your 40 foot Pilgrim will not be a problem. You can contact the Dockmaster, Captain David Peden at 904-284-4667 ext. 702 for more...

The Eclipse as Viewed From Kentucky Lake The western Kentucky and southern Illinois areas were a ground zero location for viewing the eclipse, with an average totality period of approximately 2 1/2 minutes. This photo was taken during the totality phase and you can see the lights from the...

I just found out last night that Flying Corgi, a 2006 N37 model trawler with flybridge is for sale. This vessel is a former Mirage charter boat (Semper Fi III) and was purchased by the current owner in 2014. The Yachtworld listing is below as well as a testimonial link for Ultra Sonic...

Actually, it made a big difference, as the following article attests. Recreating History to Find What Makes Bourbon Unique | Wine Enthusiast Magazine

GH37 vs. N37 This photo of Twelve Stones and Semper Fi was taken last week at the Clarksville, TN city marina. It gives a great comparison between the relative sizes of the GH37 and N37. The hull dimensions from the rubrail down are the same for both vessels, but there is quite a bit more...

TT35 Blog The buyer of hull #2 "Spirit Song" started a blog in February detailing the build progress of Spirit Song and discussing his plans to start the Great Loop this year with his trusty canine companion Lincoln. https://oldmanriverandlincoln.blogspot.com/2017/02/ His great loop travel...

Wye Tug We traveled with Wye Tug, a 2005 AT34, for a few days last October. They were doing the loop and we were traveling from Kentucky Lake to Florida. The first shot is an early morning port side pass coming out of the Demopolis Lock. The second shot was taken the next day from the...

I have always admired the American Tug line and even considered buying an AT34 before my wife and I purchased a Great Harbour N37. This series of shots is RecRoom, a 2015 AT365 approaching the new Highway 68 Bridge that crosses Kentucky Lake at Land Between the Lakes. She is a beautiful little...

Great photos FlyWright. My compliments to your daughter, the first one is an incredible shot, but then timing is everything in the photography game. :) Here are some of my favorites from the flight line during the last show on Saturday. Five consecutive days of seeing the Blues made for a...

Hi Ken, Most of the Great Harbour trawlers built have stayed on the eastern half of the country with a few exceptions that I know of. I am familiar with the GH37 you mentioned at Bellingham. It was sold a few years ago and then listed for sale again last year. There was an N37 in California...

Now that Great Harbour Trawlers have their own forum, I thought it would be appropriate to re-post this. It was originally posted two years ago under the the "Great Harbour N37 Young America at our dock yesterday" thread. It has been updated and lightly edited for accuracy and clarification...

It was great being back on base. I went through Aviation Officer Candidate School here and was commissioned as a Naval Officer after my stint in the Marine Corps. My wife and I were fortunate to be able to watch three airshow practices during the week and the Friday airshow from Semper Fi's...
