On mooring, deck solid. Inboard diesel not working. 9.9 outboard. Cockpit cushions. Custom bimini. Tired sails. New Bedford. Not bristol. Used for last 12 years Buzzards Bay and beyond. No trailer. I am no longer close enough to use it. Listing here before I donate.

My inboard, dead.

To your question. 6 would be enough for limping in. I have my 9.9 off right now getting service and 5.5 longshaft does the work, just limited obviously. 25+

Hi, It has been a few years since I've been on here. My adult daughter is showing interest in my 25 +, and I've been sailing on a patched, old main that continues to need work. Does anyone have, or know where I might get a used main? If so, please contact me. Greg Cantwell...

Thanks Loren, I've got a two stroke 9.9 on the back and although I've strengthened a bit with backing plate, I' will re-assess when I get engine and fuel tank out as I'll have more room to work. I am a little under 4 hours from boat in the winter and I never seem to get accomplished what I need...

My little Volvo Penta diesel seized a number of years ago and I am not going to spend to re-power it. My goal for the last few years has been to get to boat in the spring and to take the motor and sail drive out and glass in the hole. Of course, I never get that done in time and defer to...

I removed the pedestal/binnacle and replaced with a tiller after the backing plate disintegrated and I lost steering this summer. I think I will stay with the tiller. If anyone needs pedestal/binnacle/compass/ss wheel. let me know. Although backing plate disintegrated, the bronze under floor...

The Charles W. Morgan was in port in New Bedford for a big homecoming and local boats were invited to join the boat parade. I invited people down, dressed the boat and when approaching the swing bridge lost all wheel steering. Missed the parade. Anyway, the aluminum bolts and nuts on pedestal...

Hi, Can't tell from your last post, but if the binnacle cover and main hatch cover still available, I am interested. Thanks Greg cantwellgreg@yahoo.com

Thanks Stan,I may see if I can have the old one welded. Cheapest alternative might be to buy one of many used boats out there with a working or not penta and take the pipe. It's getting that silly.

Good size hole opened up in this elbow recently. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Part number is 838224. It is a fairly simple pipe, but I just cannot find anyone who stocks or sells it. Possible place in Europe wants about 250.00 - 300.00, but I have not contacted them...

Check out Railmakers in CA. Very helpful. This shop provided stock SS parts for many origninal Ericsons. Greg

Pulpit Check out Railmakers in CA. They made stock SS stuff for Ericsons. They were very helpful to me recently. Greg

Buzzards Bay I keep my E-25+ in New Bedford and often go over to Padnarum for lunch or a swim if I've got company and short time. My wife and I just went over on Saturday, spent the night in Padnarum and flew back to NB in record time. Southwest breeze is always blowing strong on returns...
