    A couple of notes: That rear cockpit deck is a nice hangout. It's so nice that you will quickly find out how you end up alone on the flybridge while cruising. Also, the main sleeping area is the master bedroom, and your boat style is an Aft Cabin cruiser—not a trawler, as it's a semi-displacement haul. It's better for going a little faster, but it definitely uses more fuel than a trawler.
  • From watching other videos, as long as the structural integrity is good, these older boats present so much more in quality and high end materials - as you say, the newer boats are totally "plastic" looking, in a manner of speaking. Beautiful teak from floor to top is hard to beat!👍
  • Sundeck Aft cabin motor yacht with semi displacement hull. Looks to be of decent shape. Watch those teak decks and windows. Fuel tanks are the major concern. I live on sailboat but I miss my motor yacht and I’m saving now for my trawler.

    No AC but doable. CA heat/humidity not so bad offshore unlike Miami etc

    LMAO, I just stumbled across your video. I have the 37 Bertram 'Lagertha' out at the end of the dock. I was the guy last weekend that walked by you with the pump-out! Hope all is going well!!

    Very similar to the mid-80s 36' Mainship double cabin I had years ago, though this seems to have some better finishes. Won't know until see galley setup.
  • We’re here local too. We took the boat out yesterday. Me and my son, I spent seven hours with my son on the ocean. I caught one fish and had the Time of my life. Go for it dude.

    Learn to ride EUC so that you can go anywhere with the boat+EUC combo
  • it's a displacement cruiser! not a trawler, a trawler tows a net, your boat displaces the water as it cruises

    I wish you’d have had an condition assessment done before you pulled the trigger on it!
  • Congratulations let me know if you need a davit for your dingy when you get one
  • Looks like an old Mainship. Engine info? ... it is a MOTOR boat. Also, that room is called the Aft Cabin.
  • @TomLongusa
    Congrats…but what year, make, and model did you buy? Details please.😎
  • Congratulations you are now the proud owner of a large hole in the water which you now will throw money into. Enjoy. Remember the two best days of a man's life is the day he buys his boat and the day he sells it!
