I love my Ericson but the time has come to go separate ways. Selling my 28.5 1985 Bruce King designed. She has not been out all season so she needs a bit of TLC. GREAT deal at $6,000 Includes slip until March 2018. Sails are 10 years engine runs well Bought new in 1985 and the owner passed...

Poor Seize the Bay had a tough blizzard weekend 2 weeks ago. She is a 1985 E28.5 Good news is she did not sink... bad news is I have cracks in the cockpit drain hose. I need to replace and will attempt that myself in spring. For some crazy reason, the hose has an area where it is below the...

Love my 29 I have a 1985 28.5 and LOVE it. My only complaint is the Universal 10 is not enough power.

access covers what year is your boat? any chance you have round access hatches? I have 2 stern ones that I want to replace. I have a 1985 28.5. Thanks Lynne

I too have a 28+. 1985....she draws 5ft.

I am trying to find a table to fit my 1985 28.5. I keep measuring a 1' diameter and 12.5 width. I thought I had an edison but upon closer look I have a mermaid petastal. Has anyone found a distributor to fit these measurements? The P.O. built his own beverage holder but I am not that handy...

I am out of the South at Holiday Point. Seize the Bay is a 1985 28.5 Bruce King design. I too am in up to my elbows in commissioning work. The ports leaked which resulted in rotting wood. I am hoping to do that and install some lazy jacks, then be free to enjoy her soon. :egrin:

Thanks Thanks all for the suggestions. I removed everything but she still is too big. I can not believe it as it makes me think the tank went in before the engine. That would be a bad design and not true of Ericson. My plan is to take a jigsaw to it today. I am also having trouble getting the...

I have an E 28 1985. The hot water tank has rusted at the bottom so I want to remove. I diconnected everything and thought it would be an easy job to take her out but no. Any suggestions how to cut the tank?

I had my boat hauled out today to paint the botom and the yard said the keel was pulled away about 3 inches and needed to be tightened. The yard was unclear where the keel bolts were. I am trying to save $$$ and let them know where and how to access them so they do not spend hours searching...

Ericson28 Hi Ed, I have had "Seize the Bay", my 1985 28+, since 2001. I LOVE her. It is perfect for the bay. Of course I have run aground a few times as she draws 5. I have the Universal 10 which is not that great for getting her back in strong 25plus winds and chop..... slow but steady. The...

Canvas work I took my sail cover to the canvas shop at the West River Marina in Galesville. Make sure to stop in at Pirates Cove for a meal.
