Good for you, Allen! I'm sure you will fall in love with your Tartan. We've had Betty Lou for 6 years now and couldn't be happier with the choice. But don't think the purchase price is the end of the cash bleed... Betty Lou was in great shape when we bought her, but we still spend $10k per year in keeping her in shape. So far we've done a few things:
new shaft, cutlass bearing, shaft coupling and dripless shaft seal
new motor mounts
rewired her AC, added a 2kw inverter/charger
computer nav system
new suite of sails
new stainless ports and hatches
new lifelines
diesel furnace
three haul-outs for bottom paint
endless hours of brightwork, rebedding of deck gear, scrubbing and polishing
Where on the west coast is your home port? I'd love to get a west coast T37 rondezvous organized someday soon.
