Boat: (Cruiser Living On Dirt) | , NewCruiser. Both the Irwins & Endeavours were economy boats, built to a point. Unless meticulously maintained (or recently refitted), they will likely be requiring major . Unless you are capable of (& willing to) doing most of the yourselves, these boats may turn out much more expensive than anticipated. Only a thorough (& valuation) will reveal whether either of these particular boats will be a bargain, or a money-pit. |

Boat: Med Yachts 62 Trawler | (prev boat) I agree with Gord and would also say that I found the build quality to be better than the Irwins. Just MHO.... There are some good Endeavour 40s out there that have already had the replaced and the step attended to. Know these 2 achilles heels going in and add an E40 to the list of what you are considering. Lots more room for your plans. Good luck with your search! |

Boat: Still looking for the right one! | is about 40-50K and we want a safe, sea worthy cruising boat that will allow us to travel through the as well as on a longer distance voyage. Although we are both very handy, boat mechanics are still new to us. What things would you say we should pay special attention on a boat from the 80's, or what kinds of re-fits would be the MOST criticial to have addressed before heading out? Do you know of any problems in particular that either the Endeavour's or the Irwin's are known to have? Look forward to your feedback! |

I eliminated the problem by installing a 1 1/2" diameter stainless bar through the bulkhead and attaching it to the bottom of the two chainplates with u-bolts.

Boat: Still looking for the right one! | What are your thoughts? It appears to have had some upgrades and I like that it's set up to sail single-handed. My concerns (at this point) are: the size of the aft , I've heard a large can be a concern if planning a long-distance cruise (although the size would be nice for sleeping under the stars); and the the size of the , both and water. Other boats we've looked at have 100+ gals of water and 50+ gals of . For those who have lived aboard for a year or more, do you think this should be a deal-breaker? Lastly, how much negotiating room to you think there could be on this boat? |

is appealing for negotiating , unless it leaves the vulnerable. I like the seperate shower/head modification. Even though the looks very simular to ours, we have a completely different layout. Don't you love boats? No two are alike. The more recent upgrades are nice. As far as the cockpit size, we love it. Make sure it has adaquate drain(s) and leave the lower door section in place because you get hit with big seas. Most trips we've taken we've had additional crew on board so the larger cockpit was a godsend. In addition to what this boat already has, we've added the following to ours: (just to give you some ideas) - JRC 16 mile range - 100 gal/day capacity, 12 V DC Additional 30 gal. water tank (100 total) - 150 watts total - Air-X 400 watts Doubled the bank capacity Hydraulic auto pilot independant of the cable transceiver - Automatic Identification System Second at the New Adler Baurbar air/water cooled for the tropics dingy davit lifts with automatic launch system driven air (small, mechanically engaged) for Second large (can't have too many) Two stainless folding bikes (don't laugh) I'm sure I missed something.......... currently replacing all with LED (expensive) Our is now at 22,000 lbs. and we didn't have to move the boot stripe so the hull has great buoyancy. We still only have 30 gal. fuel capacity. There's room for another 20 gallon rubber bladder so I might consider that. As far as negotiating the , I'd offer $40,000.00 and reluctantly meet them halfway. The above list could run in excess of 30 thousand, especially if you hire it done. We have done 95% of the additions ourselves. Also, does anyone out there have any with the swing keel? I am curious since I didn't even know Irwin offered that in 1980. Hope this helps... happy valentine's day | |
