Although the 37' trawler I made a deposit on flunked it's sea trial due to engine problems, the owner requested I give them a conditional acceptance before they spend $4K+ to replace the HP injection pump! Since the boat otherwise passed survey, I've accepted it providing they fix the problem and successfully finish the sea trial to prove that it's fixed! The delay is actually working in my favor because I hadn't planned to bring it home from New Bern until Nov. 1 anyway, so this will save me from paying slip fees! Will update my avatar and post some new pics once we close the deal on it! Arden and I are now headed to the Great Loop Cruising Association's annual Roundezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park on the Tennessee River near Huntsville, Al. to learn more about doing the Loop!

Which trawler boat? I'm very interested in doing this in 4-5 years.
