In general, DeFever built decent boats that have held up fairly well. If you find one that has been well maintained, it can be an excellent boat...
I put the onus of sea trial on the seller. I advise, and if need be insist, that the owner or captain take the boat out for a run, including WOT,...
Sorry to hear the bad report on the broker. I think you should find a broker in France rather than considering bringing her to the UK. A boat...
Sorry for your and your wife's loss. I need more information before providing advice or making recommendations. I am assuming that she is in good...
A few jokes, riddles, and groaners: Where did the ship go when it was sick? To the dock. When is a wall like a fish? When it's scaled. What...

Thanks for the leads. I subscribe to Boats & Harbors but did't think to check there. Yes, Norseman, she was on her way to the boat show. Lucky...
I need one Michigan prop but model is hard to find so probably need to get two: 5 blade 27 x 29 NiBrAl. F&J gave a price but am looking to see...
Great post. LMAO :-)
C'mon, Pete, you should have let sleeping dogs lie. I didn't respond to Olderboater's post at the time because I didn't want to name names or keep...
Some Pilgrims were built in Canada, some in Mexico, although under different ownership. There's an obvious difference in standards between our...
I believe the aforementioned Delta is owned by one of our esteemed members.
