Hi David...thanks for the kind reply. I am VERY excited about my new boat and love the idea of being part of the Uniflite family. My boat has the J&T Detroits in it. Wow those suckers are loud. I need to lay down some sound deadener under the carpet and around the step hatches. Very neat that you have to the second to last boat made. Do you know where the last one ended up? I live in Gig Harbor, WA and there seems to be at least 2 36ft Double Cabins down here in the harbor. I do have LOTS to figure out about my new boat. I have a Lectra San MC system on the boat but it also has a Microphor M-10. What the heck? I have no idea why it has both. I also love the diesel heat and the genset. I never had those before. I am so totally spoiled. :-) I did buy all new electronics for it this week. It didn't have anything in it but an older Furuno radar and a Loran. I picked up a Garmin 4210 Chartplotter, Icom 504 VHF and all new antennas for a great price. We do our first trip to the San Juan Islands the last two weeks of July.

I also have a 42' Double Cabin; however, mine is the second to the last 42 built by Uniflite. Adventure is a 1984. The interior is configured differently as is the flybridge. My master stateroom has portlights where yours has a long window. Yours also has windows in the galley/dinette, as mine unfortunately does not. I don't know how your electrical system is setup; I'm fairly sure you don't have 8.2L, 4-cycle, Detroit Diesels. My 42 also is a different color; in the 80's (I don't know when) Uniflite switched from the White w/blue color to an off-white, almost beige. So, other than the hull, our boats are not to similar, but I hope we can swaps notes and help with questions. About a Uniflite Rendevous, there have been some in the past (none of which I could attend) but I haven't seen any discussion about one yet this year.

My wife and I just purchased our first Uniflite. A ’77 42 Double Cabin that was for sale up in Anacortes, WA. Yup I know it is a blister year. J We love it anyway. For our family it will fit the bill just fine. It is our first boat of this size so I am hoping you all can put up with my line of Uniflite newbie questions as I learn the boat. I would attach some pictures but I don’t think that I can as a new member. Instead I will provide a link! The poor boat has been sitting in dry dock for 3 years. The previous owner moved to Europe and left the boat behind and finally got around to putting it up for sale. She needs a lot of love. Mostly elbow grease. I doubt she has seen a coat of wax in 5 years +. She runs like a top and all systems work. The majority of the work is cosmetic at this point and replacing some electronics. Side note….is there a Uniflite Rendevous like they do each year with the Chris-Crafts? Here ya go. <http://picasaweb.google.com/kendralebel/42Uniflight1977> http://picasaweb.google.com/kendralebel/42Uniflight1977# Kerry </table --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
