I've decided to pull the engine out and replace it as it may fail someday. JUST KIDDING.....Swear to god I was joking........don't want to fan the flames too much, might start a full on forest fire in here. MP

Also wanted to mention that according to the boat yard documents where this boat was built,it is an Ed Monk designed hull. Also thanks to the poster who turned me on to the Roughwater 37 's, this is almost identical including the layout inside and these were also Monk designed hulls. MP --...

As I mentioned before the maintenance as well as logs and receipts have been meticulously kept up through the years. I am appreciative of the excellent advice provided about the replacement before failure of certain items , but much of what was mentioned has already been done , documented and...

The good thing about it is the logs were meticulously kept and so I know at what point a lot of things were done as far as maintenance. Many of the things FF mentioned in his post have been done all along the way, so it is my job to continue the care that this old girl has enjoyed and since she...

I just noticed that there is a section for Electronics...I apologize to the Admin for my errant posting without looking. If you need to move this feel free, and I will pull my head out of the dark recess I have shoved it. MP

I have a 36' trawler in the Puget Sound area (Port Ludlow to be exact). I am extremely overwhelmed when it comes to what electronics I truly 'NEED'. There is an endless variety of gear and I am having a hard time figuring out where to start. If you are talking to a salesman, you won't be able to...

This boat is a 1968 Cole. Built in Tacoma at Kazlan and Cole. It has a single Cummins hanging out in the bilge. I have searched all over the web and have found nothing on this particular boat builder, but have all logs and every receipt from the very beginning. It has been babied through its...
