Thanks, I try to do good work!
Wallas is awesome.
Marina has open slips, they would be happy to sign you up.
Yes, no problems with the V-drive
PO may have redone mast step, it looks solid to me.
Standing rigging at least 13 YO, no obvious problems but I haven't pulled chainplates.
Adler-Barbour cold machine fridge
2 2019 200 Ah Victron AGM Telecoms for house, def need replacing. Space can fit at least 400 Ah LiFePO4s. New owner may want to go bigger and surely can.
1 2020 Optima 800 CCA SC34M AGM start, starts every time, I didnt use it much until this year.
Yes, 8-gal hot water is plumbed to engine and 120V.
I'll have to go take a pic of the engine, will add to CL post by tomorrow.
Thanks for the interest!

Nice boat.  Looks well cared for and I love the Wallas heater for the PNW.

A few questions:
Is the slip transferable?
Are you still using the RV10(Pearson) with the 55Hp Yanmar?
Has the main mast step been dealt with?
Age of standing rigging?
What kind of refrigeration?
Battery size and age?
Does the Isotherm HW tank warm from engine heat as well as 110V?
A pic of the engine room?

Hull 325 is a great cruiser with extra mahogany and the teak rubrails, outfitted for the Northwest. Skookum is a very solid boat, many upgrades and everything works. I'm very sad to be selling. Would like her to go to a 365 fan.

Hi Dale, thank you for the offer. I send you a message!

Wow, what a bummer. The original blocks were made by Schaefer. Not looking at mine directly, I would guess #5 or perhaps #7 series.  They are indeed robust and match the look of the boat. 

This will not be a low cost project if you buy new by any measure. I would stick with Schaefer as they will last forever.  Harken are a lower resistance ball bearing block but that is not really required on this application as you only pull in a foot or so of line and then release. Ebay maybe as source for replacements.  In my mind "used" blocks for a 40 plus year old boat is more than acceptable.

If you would like a quote on new set ups just let me know, I would be more than glad to sell them to you.

Thank you both! Sadly, we can't find our original blocks so we need new / replacement ones. Getting our rigging replaced has been an adventure (long story).

I still have those blocks on Evening Ebb.  When I replaced my standing rigging we didn't replace them and it's never come up in my annual rig inspections.

The blocks in your pics are exactly the same as the blocks I had on Journey.  I assume they are original.  They seemed perfect to me for their intended use.  Even when I had a well known rigger replace my standing rigging, we did not replace those blocks.  They are easily inspectable and redundent as even if one breaks, the other side will carry the load.  My 2 cents anyway. 

You might want to ask Dale about it as he owns a chandlery, is an expert on our rigs, and gives discounts to 365 owners.

Hello,

We are replacing our standing rigging. We need to order new blocks for the backstays.

Any recommendations? Model? Type? I'm wondering if there is advice for working load to consider.

Thanks!
