And their Blazers hockey team likes to annoy our Spokane Chiefs on the way to the WHL championship. Any predictions for the game tonight?
Yes but how does the boat look?I have a restored 1979 Catalina--partially by me and partially by the owner, she's gorgeous...
we find that our eye will be drawn more quickly, and with more appreciation, to an older boat that is obviously lovingly cared for, than it will to a newer boat.we find that our eye will be drawn more quickly, and with more appreciation, to an older boat that is obviously lovingly cared for, than it will to a newer boat.
And you will learn so much more by getting an older boat and doing what it takes to bring her up to snuff again. By the time you are done you will be familiar with every part of her, you will know what is there, how it works, and why it doesn't if it stops. I could never put a value on how much we learned fixing up old boats, or the immense pride and satisfaction we got from sailing them when they were done.

Sounds like a pretty good life lesson. Maybe you should go into marriage counseling. ;-)I don't think it is the age so much as the upkeep. If the boat is in good shape and you like the look and feel of her, go for it.
Absolutely - the same principles apply to a happy marriage to your spouse and your boat. Treat them well and they will support you through sun and storms.Sounds like a pretty good life lesson. Maybe you should go into marriage counseling. ;-)
Am thinking of buying a 1981Catalina 27. However it is a 1981, seems to be in good shape though. What do you think?
