Just became a member to the group this week. I am in the middle of a possible trade /puchase of a 28' Cape Dory Cape Dory Trawler. I would weclome any comments on this boat in all aspects. I will use it in Lake michigan for weekend use and short cruises of a few weeks. It has a single Westerbeke diesel 100hp engine, 6 cylinder diesel FWC. Is this engine reliable? Is the boat underpowered? I have noticed that some of these same boats have a 200hp diesel.It was given a new transmission in 2009 along with all new fuel lines and batteries. All the elctronics are very old. What electronics will be needed and in what puchase order? Also no AC I plan to use this boat as a costal cruiser in the Great Lakes. Comments would be appreciated.
thanks!
thanks!
