Hello all,
I've been a commercial fisherman for 25 + years in this great state of Alaska so not new to boats,just new to owning one. Got a screaming deal on a 78 34 mainship. Needs lots of polish but she turns over and still floats. Only soft spots were the cockpit aft. Thought at first i was in over my head but the panic has subsided. Plan on doing all my repairs and turning her into a birding/whale watching charter for my retirement. She's still wrapped in shrinkwrap right now but I'll post pictures when it's off. Tons of information on this forum and have lost sleep already due to the wealth of information on here. Thanks for having me.
