an excellent surveyor
Frank Lanier is an excellent surveyor. He is extremely thorough and reasonably priced. He is definitely the guy you want as a buyer (not so good if you are a seller ;) ).

Good luck!
We are fast approaching the date when we will have 2 boats in the water simultaneously so I thought I would give listing her here one last shot before we go to a broker.
She is located at Bay Point Marina in Norfolk, VA (near the Little Creek Amphibious base) and can remain in the slip until...
additions and asking price
I wanted to mention a few other things that I will be doing to the engine during our July haul-out:
- valve job (including new valve stem seals and new guides, etc. as needed)
- replace rear main seal
- replace all seal rings on the metal cooling system pipes
-...
no time warp neccessary
"We will be hauled out the first week of July to complete some of the items listed below. "
Probably shouldn't have used past tense tho....
FS: 1978 E31 Independence Cutter: PRICE $27K OBO
We have decided to lay the groundwork for our long term liveaboard and cruising plans by buying a larger boat. This means that we will have to part with (reluctantly) our Independence 31. We are still trying to determing our asking price but...
Well it looks like we will be staying put in Norfolk for a while so, unfortunately, we won't be joining the Vikings in the Pac NW. I suppose there are worse places to be (from a sailing standpoint) than the lower Chesapeake Bay. Thanks for the marina suggestions.
Guess I need to start...
Thanks for the suggestions. If my job prospect pans out, I'll get more serious about looking for a marina. Still need to decide if it is feasible (financially) to ship the boat cross country.
Thanks again,

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a marina between Port Townsend and Bremerton that doesn't have a 2 year waiting list? It seems like all the ones I've been able to locate online are at least that and sometimes as much as 4 years.
Thanks,

Anyone have experience with the MastMate mast climbing system? Are there any negatives (as compared to a bosun's chair) besides the cost and the fact that you may have to take the mainsail out of the track to use it?
For those not familiar with it it can be found here...
thanks
Thanks for the input. I am particulary interested in getting winches with bronze drums so that eliminates Andersen I think. The only winches I know of that are currently in product that offer this feature are Lewmar, ARCO and LVJ. Any other manufacturers I should know of?
Thanks...
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with using ARCO winches? I know they are a great source of parts/advice for Barient and Barlow winches but I would like an opinion on their winches. They seem like a great deal: $1440 delivered with minor spares for a pair of bronze 40ST winches...
