Waterline Boats Featured Boat – 55 Symbol Motoryacht

April 11, 2017

WLB-Featured-Boat-55-Symbol

Waterline Boats Featured Boat is a 55 Symbol Pilothouse Motoryacht!

This 1995 three stateroom pilothouse is a stabilized, twin diesel motoryacht. And making this sexy 55 Symbol Pilothouse even more attractive is her recent price reduction! Also noteworthy are the below comments.

Broker’s Comments:
This Symbol 55 Pilothouse represents an attractive design for good reasons — three staterooms, wide walkaround side decks, a roomy and comfortable salon, all the handling benefits of a pilothouse, and a commanding and spacious flybridge.

Very low hours and well-equipped with stabilizers, generator, air conditioning, diesel furnace, satellite TV, new Garmin radar and MFDs, and a nearly-new AB dinghy with less than 30 hours on its 30 hp Honda outboard. She has been well-cared-for and is in very nice condition.

This is an attractive and substantial boat that continues to look very contemporary inside and out.

But most of all, we know you will want to view the full specifications, 122 photos, video and 360 Virtual Tours of the 55 Symbol. All you have to do is click> 55 Symbol Pilothouse Motoryacht

Waterline Boats ~broker spotlight | Bill Lynch

April 7, 2017

WLB-Broker-Spotlight-BL

Waterline Boats welcomes our newest broker Bill Lynch to the crew! We’re excited to have Bill representing the Lower Puget Sound, a great boating area that he knows well.

Bill

Born and raised in Olympia Bill has a proud family history there. His Grandfather and father were members of the Fire Department and Bill was in the fire sprinkler business for more than 30 years. When they weren’t working they were out on the water. When Bill was born his father owned a trawler and Bill’s earliest memories are cruising the sound with his family. Bill took his first boating course at 14 and a few years later, bought his first boat; a 17’ Olympic outboard.

A boat is always a good reason to bring friends and family together and Bill’s backyard happens to be a premier destination for boaters.

When he’s not cruising Johnson Point or crabbing on Anderson Island he’s getting to know his neighbors at Zittel’s Marina. For Bill, helping his friends and neighbors in Olympia list and sell their boats is an exciting opportunity. It’s a chance to get to know his community and a great excuse to talk boats.

Someday Bill hopes to own or charter a nice size yacht and take his family on a long cruise to the San Juan Islands. Until then he’s excited to help his fellow Olympians realize their boating dreams.

Good News For Helmsman & Hyundai

March 8, 2017

Good-News-Hyundai-BlogGood news for those who are considering the marvelous new Helmsman Trawlers 31 Sedan but have perhaps wondered about the standard engine selection, which may be unfamiliar, and service center availability.….

One of the compelling features of the 31 Sedan (based upon the popular and capable Camano 31 and substantially modernized) is her engine — a Hyundai Seasall V-6 diesel. For a long time Hyundai marine engines have been trusted in Europe and around the Pacific Rim for advanced engineering, great performance and exceptional reliability. Now the Seasall line is available in the U.S. and is perfectly matched with the Helmsman Trawler 31 Sedan.

Seasall is designed for easy maintenance, a longer life, and built to meet future Tier IV EPA requirements. And important to the appeal of the 31 Sedan is that the Seasall engine offers a demonstrably quieter and smoother ride.

Service for this new engine? Certified dealers for the Hyundai Seasall have been popping up all over the East Coast and West Coast. The newest authorized Northwest dealer and service agent for the Hyundai Seasall line is Cook Engine in Portland, Oregon. Cook Engine joins other Northwest service agents including Coastal Marine Engine of Seattle.

What does this mean for you? A choice of U.S. Hyundai Seasall dealers with solid reputations means professional support is always close at hand. It’s just one more reason to kick-off boating season with the Helmsman Trawler 31 Sedan.

The Californian 42 is a twin diesel, fiberglass, full-displacement hull. Listing agent Randy Hacker comments on the Californian below.

Broker’s Comments:
The Californian 42 features a semi-displacement design, a prominent bow and a long keel creating a well-tracking hull. The hull’s hard chines decrease its potential for roll, and a flattened aft section provides added lift for higher speeds.

Camano 31 Trawler Troll In Boat Auction!

March 1, 2017

2017-boatbid-boat-camano-31
This Camano 31 Trawler is in BoatBid – an online Boat Auction offered through Waterline Boats / Boatshed Seattle.

This Camano 31 is a single diesel, fiberglass, Semi-Displacement hull. Listing agent Randy Hacker comments on the Camano below.

Broker’s Comments:
As a design the Camano 31 provides maximum elbow room and easy movement around the boat for full size adults. No gimmicks — just simple, straightforward and purposeful design. The result is a boat that is simple to operate and maintain and yet capable of duty as a stout little ship.

This 2001 Camano 31 is a rare find — outfitted for cruising with a very good complement of equipment and in very nice condition.

The Camano 31 is a well-known Northwest boat and was designed for these waters — ready to handle a wide range of conditions, sturdy, simple to operate and maintain, workboatlike in appearance, capable of comfortable long-range cruising, and with an amazingly large interior space. A study of the photos of the boat demonstrates that it would be literally impossible to design a boat with better 360-degree visibility and more light.

The flybridge is surprisingly large with room for many guests (and really, who doesn’t have use for such space on a nice day?). The flybridge is positioned far forward for excellent visibility. The lower helm offers excellent all-around excellent visibility.

We hear time and again about the confidence that owners have in these boats under difficult sea conditions. There is nothing else in this class as tough or as capable as a Camano.

This Grand Banks is in BoatBid – an online Boat Auction offered through Waterline Boats / Boatshed Seattle.

This Grand Banks is a single diesel, fiberglass, Semi-Displacement hull. Listing agent Gary Buck comments on the Grand Banks below.

Broker’s Comments:
A distinctive and classy small trawler in every way a Grand Banks. She’s a capable and sought-after Northwest cruiser. One of the early fiberglass 32s, this one has been lovingly cared for and kept in fresh water by her current owner for over two decades.

The seller reports the fuel tanks have been kept filled to make sure they are full during the winter months as has been his custom since purchasing the boat 25 years ago.

The teak decks on this vessel are showing signs of needing to be repaired or removed. We have a contractor’s bid to accomplish that task which we believe is very reasonable.

Great Things Happening In 2017!

January 5, 2017

bracewell-41-2017

The Bracewell 41 arriving to our Waterline Boats Docks this spring is one of those things!

The Bracewell 41 Performance Trawler, previously built by Bracewell Marine Group in Richmond, BC, and itself derived from the venerable Camano 41 is back in production. Manufacturing is in a new shipyard near Shanghai under the Bracewell Shanghai Yacht Company, Ltd. This Chinese-Canadian venture is building several other Bracewell models including the 540 Motoryacht and the extensively redesigned Commander 26 and Commander 34.

The Bracewell 41 is a beautiful two cabin trawler constructed to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. It is based on the unique Bob Warman-designed “keelform” hull that is known for seaworthy performance and ability to cruise comfortably and efficiently from 8 to 16+ knots.

As you can see (photos below), the build is well underway – due to arrive springtime to our Waterline Boats docks!

California Cruising Couple Creatively Conceives Commodious Customizations

December 20, 2016

38e-torelli-photoJohn and Mary Torelli (and Sailor Blue) are pictured with their new Helmsman Trawlers 38E Pilothouse Trawler.

John and Mary are experienced boaters having owned three Nordhavns prior to their Helmsman and authoring “Life is a Journey Why Not Live It Aboard a Trawler?” (available from Amazon!). John and Mary contributed fundamentally and significantly to many of the design features that distinguish the 38E from its predecessor, and also customized their boat’s interior to meet their desire for a very large, open main salon.

John and Mary are mooring their boat at the Sunroad Marina on Harbor Island in San Diego. They plan to cruise to Santa Catalina Island, Baja Mexico, and eventually complete the Great Loop in their Helmsman 38E.

Welcome to the Helmsman Trawlers family!

Helmsman Trawlers Building First 31 Sedan with John Deere Engine

November 25, 2016

31-se-john-deere-2Waterline Boats received an order for a Helmsman Trawlers from a Canadian customer to build a 31 Sedan that will be the first to use a John Deere engine. This customer is an exceptionally knowledgeable boater, with many boats under his current and prior ownership, and prefers to operate at displacement speeds with a lower RPM engine. Consequently we’re installing a 4045TFM85 engine rated at 125 horsepower at 2500 rpm. This will provide reliable and long-lived propulsion with a top speed in the range of 9 knots and a cruising speed of 7 to 8 knots. The 31 Sedan, based upon the well-known and capable Camano 31 hull, is designed to operate well at higher semi-displacement speeds but its hull is very well-suited to displacement operation also. It has a substantial long keel with skeg-hung rudder, a low center of gravity, high freeboard, tough construction, and a slightly rounded transom to enhance tracking in following seas. This will be an interesting power combination and will appeal to others who want a compact, reliable yacht-quality trawler that is NOT a planing boat in disguise. 

Talk with us about our range of propulsion options for the 31 Sedan and look for further information as this boat is delivered and tested.
