Ericson/Pacific Seacraft I own an Ericson/ Pacific Seacraft 333. This boat is identical to the Ericson 32-200 made in the late 1980's. The only difference is the stern has "steps" cut to facilitate boarding. The best I could find is that there were 7 333's made, Tom Marland Redondo Beach, CA

Rub rail end caps Alcast Foundry in Redondo Beach, CA may be able to make it for you............if you have the old one even if is broken. It will be a solid casting and will need to be polished and anodized. Another long shot is Taco Marine. Some West Marine stores have a sample "ring" and...

Instead of u bolts Catalina has used something very similar to this for years. I think Garhauer makes them. As long as the weld is good this should be fine

Chain plates and U bolts Once the U bolt is removed you probably will not need to remove the rods. If you notice dampness, water, in the holes in the deck you will need to drill the holes bigger (1/2 inch) and fill with epoxy. I used the West System epoxy 610. This comes in a tube and mixes...

Plate removal The plate should come up with constant pressure even if they used 5200. Once the bolt is removed the plates, top and bottom should be easy to remove. Make sure to use your halyards to stabilize the mast once all the stays are loosened and taped aside so they don't scratch the...

U-Bolts I have 2 of these bolts. If you want we (you) can send this to Garhauer to copy. I will take them a couple of weeks, depending on how busy. You can reach me at tomarland@aol.com

U-Bolts If you take or send one of the U-bolts to Garhauer they can make these for you. I had 2 made for $100-150. I can't remember the exact price. The alternative is Rig Rite, back east. I ordered one from them for $280. So Garhauer is your best choice. I am in southern Calif, King...

I have a PSC Ericson 333 hull #304 in King Harbor Redondo Beach

Ericson 33 What year is your 33'?

Rubrail The rubrail is the aluminum extrusion. This boat has spent the majority of its life in freshwater, so there is very little corrosion.

U-Bolts You can have Garhauer make them for half the cost of rig rite.

"Journey" is # 4. Obviously we do not hear much from owners, as only a handful were made.

I own a PSC / Ericson 333. Same design as the 32-200 with the modification of steps on the transom. I believe there were only 7 of these built in 97 - 98, but I have been unable to substantiate this. I bought the boat in Seattle in 2013. The boat had spent the first 8-9 years in Cleveland and...

My partner in the boat lives on Bainbridge Is. He and I have owned boats in the past. He wanted a boat in S. Cal so he could occasionally escape the winter. Are you a yacht club member? I could find you through that or you can find me thru King Harbor YC. If I could figure out how to send a...
