Well, as posted a couple of days ago, the deal for the Black Pearl fell through because of serious motor issues. However, when one door closes, another opens. So we are looking at putting an offer in on a much better boat. It’s a 36 Carver aft cabin and it’s in immaculate condition.
I travelled down to see the boat yesterday without MY Jane because she had to work.
It took some time because the sales broker directed me to a marina that the boat USED to be at, but was moved. Eventually I found it tied up at a dock and got on board. I checked out the decks and bridge and instrument panel and everything looked in fantastic shape.
The main things Jane and I were insisting on were that it have an on board generator, an aft cabin with island bed, and a reliable windlass. This boat has all that and more. It also has a bow thruster and auto pilot.
I managed to contact the owner who lived nearby and he agreed to come over and unlock the main cabin. The inside was stunning. Very very clean throughout. Even the engine compartment was gleaming as were the engines.
If our offer gets accepted and the survey and sea trial are satisfactory, I’ll need to find someone to help me take it through the locks to Georgian Bay.
