THE BOAT IS A MARINER 31 BUILT IN 1972 AND SHE IS BERTHED IN PORT TOWNSEND WA.  I WILL SEND SOME CURRENT PHOTOS
THIS BOAT OVERALL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. WE PLAN TO ADD RADAR AND A ROLLER FURLER. WE DID FINISH THE LIFELINES THAT HAD NEVER BEEN INSTALLED SINCE THE REFIT IN 1988.

1/2017

We have added a Lewmar bow thruster to the boat.  Very handy and it was an easy install.  In addition we have a full array of electronics including AIS, radar, two chartplotters, Navtex weather radio, HD TV DVD and a 12 volt freezer. In addition we installed numerous LED strip lights in the interior.  We have solar panels as well and our batteries support all of the items well.  We cruise in the San Juan islands and both coasts of Vancouver island. 


7/2017

Our boat has been converted to a cutter and the cabin changed dramatically.  She is now equiped with hot water, 2 VHF radios, fathometer, speedometer, Radar, GPS, AIS Transponder, SSB, wind gauges, engine alarms, digital tachometer, SAT phone, HD TV, Navtex,  all LED lighting (expanded)  and a Bow thruster.
The Bow thruster was an easy install given the Mariner hull design
She is a great cruiser in our Northwest waters
