I'm new here
my name is Nigel
I'm a marine diesel mechanic on whidbey island
i searched far and wide for a suitable first
boat that I can live on and sail
I'm checking out a 41 Downeaster pilot house
that is in desperate need of a new owner w
I have seen it on here but little info on it
it was named the snow goose
i would love to see the inside of other pilot houses
for any ideas or any old pics of this boat
I have read all the posts in the forum in advance

Hello Nigel
I am the current owner of a 41 pilothouse and I couldn't be happier with the boat. There is currently a 41 for sail in San Diego and you can access it pictures through YACHTWORLD and do a search for downeaster 41. He has a nice bunch of photos.

Thanks bob
I saw your boat last year befor Scott ever posted links
not sure how he is running this place but it took an act of God to pass 7 spam filters using a cellphone
and registering 3 times because my other accounts were locked for no apparent reason
I researched this boat up and down and found nothing besides your boat
You are literally one of a handful to
have a pilothouse de41 like mine
as they were some of the last boats produced by the factory according to year
and number
I even considered shooting you an offer
because your boat is everything I wanted
but I bought this one for 25,000
considering there is a 45 for 88k nearby and a 38 for 50k and a 32 de for 40k
other boat owners and individuals I've met are already acting jealous, angry or worse
that I scored such a deal,
better yet no loans and my own terms
and I wrote my own lease to own agreement and had it notarized
i spent 12 hours today removing a entire dumpsters worth of random crap from the boat
And steam cleaning
Now I have a boat to mount my solar panels on 
Half my things are on board now land about to move out of the small house I have onto the de41

Btw my de41 is the 3rd pilothouse de41 ever made
#3 on serial number

sounds like a great deal. I have always like pilothouse boats as liveaboards.

I hope so, I just bought one.
The upper salon area will be a great place to setup my laptops so I can work from the boat. I still have to figure out mounting maybe 3 28' monitors that can swing away so I can work, then stow 2 of them away. Had thought about something that swings down from the salon ceiling but will have to figure that one out a bit better.

I created the geeking forum and moved all the posts involving computers and stuff we were talking about over there.
