Mid-Way through Bottom Job Picture Forgot to upload bottom picture with barrier coat applied. Tie coat and bottom paint are yet to be applied.

The diver issue is simply to assess the growth (1 through 5) if any.... there is to be no scrubbing unless necessary (i.e. over a 3 rating). As for cost, the Port is taking the burden and owner pays only if bottom is scrubbed with a set fee depending on size of vessel (mine = $20.00 per month...

All, After a few years of working WAY WAY too much, I found my way back to ErisonYachts.org. WOW..... what a really nice site. The wealth and breadth of knowledge as well as members is amazing. I still have me ol' 1972 E- 35 MKII now located here in San Diego (South Bay). Sad to say, I work...

E-35 Hatch Rebuild and Gaps ALL, Very nice job on the form-built hatch. I wish I thought of that 8 years ago when I built my hatch. Constructing a new hatch as per original design is, well, a real pain in the a**. The compound angles (i.e. camber with sloping pieces) drove myself and a...

10 years and counting In short: I've had my 1972 E-35 for 10 years and have lived aboard for 4.5 of those 10. It takes a while to get the 'nesting' right but I can't think of many 37 year old boats that do as much as the the E-35 and still gets looks like it is 5-10 years old. All your points...

Coaming boards Dave, I just completed my new boards last August on my 1972 E-35. The old boards were shot (cracked, thin from excusive sanding/acid washing, cupped, etc.). I took the old ones off and used them for templates on the new teak planks. I special ordered the planks @ 12' long x...

Sales call Vs. Techie Call The key to talking to anyone in a corpoartion that sells gizmos/produts/software is to get another techie on the line. I am a respected marine surveyor, licensed engineer and captain and can smell B.S. a mile away. I talk with hundreds of folks a year on gear...

CDI INfo Emerald, I spoke with CDI direct.....might as well go to the horse's mouth and not the other end. John

CDI Prop Emerald, I put one on back in 2000 nd have not looked back since. My 1972 E-35 with A-4 was woefully proped when I bought it and the gent gave me three other props saying he couldn't get it right. Well, I read up on the CDI, talked with the folks and bought one. It has made a...

Poking around SD All, I'll be in SD this weekend (11/26 and 27) to scout out a few marinas and meet the new boss. I'll let ya all know how it goes. I guess I could always dock at NASSCO since that's where I'll be working for the most part. Any idea what a 35' slip there would be? Would...

All, I'll be in San Diego poking around at marinas this weekend (11/26-27). So, I guess while I am thinking about it, are there any decent boat yards in San Diego? It looks like I may be trucking my boat down due to time constraints. As a result, I will need the services of a decent yard...

Thanks for info Thank you to all who replied to my questions regarding dockage in San Diego. It looks like I'll be making some inquieries in Chula Vista for dock space for the time being until I sort out my situation. John H. Moses

Fellow Southern Vikings, I have taken a new job in San Diego with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). I'll be transfering down in mid-December and will be looking for a spot for my 35' Ericson (1972). Not sure when I'll get the boat down, but maybe in January 2007? A couple questions...

e-mail clarification my e-mail address did not come across very clear. It should read: ericson_35 @ msn.com John M.
