    Do you have a blog for your boat/travels?

    Here are the links to my website and blog....However, I am like a lot of folks and leave my camera at home or don't think it is worth a picture at the time, and then I can kick myself for not taking more pictures. WEBSITE: http://www.luckyfind3.com/ BLOG: http://www.luckyfind3.blogspot.com/...

    Hi Dave, Good luck with your new boat. I am an owner of a PT-38 Europa and my wife and I love her dearly. She is equipped with twin Perkins 135's and this summer we tracked a burn rate of about 3gph for both engines at 8.5knots. Although, really not helpful to you.....I just like to brag about...

    Who Else did Cheer Men build for?

    Hi Mike, Thanks for your input...I figured all along it was a Performance Trawler. The plaques on the side of my flybridge attest to the fact she was built in the Cheer Men Yard, and all the papers I have with the boat signify that also. Thank you for visiting my site monthly, as I have been...

    Who Else did Cheer Men build for?

    Gonzo, Thanks for the info, and I have read that article before....I guess the more I read and inquire....the more confused I become. I still don't even know if the initials PT mean Performance Trawler, Pacific Trawler or Puget Trawler, but I guess it really doesn't matter. I love my boat and...

    Lap top chart plotting

    Here is how I did it: I own a 14" Toshiba Laptop, so I use it as my*boat computer. I then bought a legal copy of Fugawi Navigation software ($249.00).* You don't need the Navionics Card reader or any Navionics charts. I went to Staples and bought Microsoft's Street & Trips 2010 with the GPS...

    Rick, You were probably doing more than sleeping during that geography class...LOL Lake Ontario is on the east coast, you know, near Toronto, Ontario Canada, Kingston, Ontario Canada, Rochester, NY...etc. We are about 3000 miles from Calif. BTW...Winnipeg is north of North Dakota. I hope you...

But, as luck would have it, we are located on Lake Ontario. we have a PT-38 Europa style Sedan, and if you hold your rendezevous in a place close to hotel, we may just fly on out to meet all of you. Good luck on bringing...

    Tips

    I don't specifically give them a Christmas "tip"....but I do buy lunch for them on the day they haul my boat for the winter season, and I buy them coffee and doughnuts the day they launch my boat in the spring. They do a lot of favors for me during the boating season, and that is how I show my...

    Where are the trawlering sites?

    Although not just a trawler site, I think BoaterEd* is a great boating site, no matter what type of boat you own. With over a thousand active memebrs, we all can't be wrong. I agree with most that the PassageMaker site is extremely slow. Two other good sites are Curiser's Forums , mainly...

    Arctic Air Air Conditioning

    I am in the process of purchasing a 1984 PT Trawler Europa Sedan. It supposedly has a 16,000BTU reverse cycle a/c / heat system. The cooling sysytem is fine, but neither the surveyor or myself can get any heat from this unit. The previous owner has died, so we can't ask for any hep there. It...

    PT 38 Trawler

    Well, the survey, sea trial and engine survey went well. There were no problems with leaky windows, wet cores, spongy decks or anything of that nature. Moisture meter tests all came back good. There were a few minor cracks on the deck in the starboard bow corner, but surveyor assured me it was...
