Hello all,
After 9 lovely years of living aboard a sailboat, and the past 4 years on Tardis, I'm moving ashore. I assure you all I haven't lost my mind, and this is a temporary (2 year) move. My work is sending me to Australia, and it looks like an adventure so I'm going. In the mean time I am dry storing my beloved Tardis up the river in Demopolis, AL. I have had to undo some of my recent additions for storage (solar panels, inverter) as well as empty out the boat completely and give it a good cleaning. I will certainly miss my boat, and sailboats in general, but hopefully in two years I'll be back on the forum planning my next project, hopefully with Tardis no worse for the wear.
Cheers,
Mike Sytsma

Mike, I have just purchased a 1982 Pearson 367. Owner was firm and did not care about findings of a survey for terms of negotiations. But I think the bones of her are on good shape. I hope so, never dreamed of buyinh a boat of this magnitude with no survey. So far, so good.
I hate it that I can't pick your brain for common questions. Like, how is your boat holding up for you? Do you have the original power plant, like the Model 5444 Universal? How many hours of so on the block, so far?
Stuff like that. What do I need to look out for on this 367?
