bad

Once again, looking for opinions on what this might cost to have a yard do the work. This is what most likely caused the shaft coupling corrosion, but is probably the least expensive to fix...except that the shaft will have to be removed to replace the connecting hose, which is sketchy at this...

Soliciting ideas on how this might be dealt with and what kind of cost I might be looking at if a yard does the work. This is on an E30+. This is something I might be able to do myself. It's a Kenyon boom and I believe Rig Rite may be able to supply spare parts; if any aluminum welding is...

...and don't start with the Johnny Carson routine, "It's so bad..." :) I have some issues to deal with: Shaft coupling, boom corrosion and stuffing box. I'm going to post these in three different threads so there aren't too many pictures in one thread. The boat is coming out for bottom...

Hey all! just found the forum by luck and what a great site! My father has a Ericson 36C that we've owned for about 15 years now. Sorry, I don't know the hull number at the moment but I know its a 1976 for those that will be curious. Anyways, a little background, she's docked in the SF Bay...

Hi All, First, I did post the same question over at the Sailnet list. Please forgive the double post, but not sure who is looking where at this point. this is more of a survey question than I need help, but I am also looking for feedback from those with more experience when it comes to...

I'm considering an Ericson 27 as my next boat but I've read that it tends to be slow for a 27 footer. I want a comfortable coastal cruising boat but I don't want to be watching everyone else's transom recede into the distance. I'd like to hear what you think of the boat's speed. Just as a...
