My name is Matt and I just purchased a new (to me) boat. I have heard there are not many of these made and was wondering if there are any other owners on this list that might be able to help me with a few questions?

I have 200 ft of 1/4" high test chain and with water and fuel tanks full boat still sits a bit bow high. I could actually carry more chain. But don't really need. Next haulout I'm going to have waterline adjusted to how boat actually rides. I don't have a divided chain locker. I had some deteriorated rubber trim on mine and I spoke with Scott Helker (owns Helmsman/Mariner line), and he gave me some of that material. Scott is a really good guy. Give him a call.Thank you all. I noticed a "dividing board" in the bow anchor locker...does anyone know what this is for? Also, can this boat handle an all chain rode or will it be too much weight in the bow? And finally, the salon exterior window gasket (that covers the screws) is missing. I have located it from a Manship distributor, $400 for 100' and approx. 2-3 month wait. Has anyone replaced this with anything from any other source?

Our sisters ship (hull Nr 2) has been to Alaska many times.Thanks for the information! I read your biography and was wondering if you know if the boat is capable of long range cruising safely? Not crossing oceans, but running down the Caribbean Island chain or circumnavigating North America? I'm trying to get an understanding of the boats capabilities/limitations.
