Is a Senator Perfect for the Great Loop?
1985 35' Senator Sundeck $85,000. Slow 'M'Ocean has good sight lines and a high bow.
The teak hand rails and toe caps are varnished.
The teak interior has beautiful joinery that the Taiwanese boatyards from this era are known for.

We looked at that boat in fall of 2021 in Little River SC. That is when covid had the prices inflated. They were asking I think 64,500 and it needed a bottom job per a recent survey. They did the bottom job and raised the price to 69500, I think. I don't know the sale price. I think I offered them 40k....But after 3 years of looking at old trawlwers, I wish we had bought it. It was the nicest of all we looked at. Never thought we would see it again. Hell of a lot of boat for the size.

@@HarborPilotYachtTours 2000 Four Winns 298 Vista, with a brand new trailer. It was a fresh water boat. It was not what we wanted, but it got us cruising part time now. Being able to haul it out is huge. Getting ready to take our first trip from North of Charleston SC to Edisto, Beaufort, and Hilton Head for a week. Leaving on the 15th of this month....Weather starting to look sketchy. UGH!

Beautiful yacht
We looked at a new 35' Senator Sundeck in North Carolina in 1986. We ended up getting a new 1986 CT Sundeck; we loved our CT (w/Ford Lehman 135 SP) but the Senator is a 'bigger' 35' boat; better lay out, and some better features. The major thing wrong with the 1986 35' Senator we almost bought was that all (yes ALL) of the stainless steel (on a NEW boat) was very rusty, and the boat was very 'top-heavy'.... The CT was a much better sea boat..By the way, that is not a hull number, nor a tally.... it is the Fed. Documentation number. Senator did not make that many boats.

Thanks for pointing that out I’ll remember that for future videos.
That why it a better built boat if it was built in the USA it would cost a lot more money ❤
Very nice vessel! Being 35 ft, the cost of the slip would be affordable. Great starter boat for a couple. Price. It's a tad high. Very good looking boat though.

I'd like to know/see how they were, or are still transporting all of those over here. A bit disappointed to learn these are all foreign made. Would be cool if they were all vintage Americana. Still nice boats though.
Think those cushions hanging in forward berth are for the flybridge seating
You mist two very important points. When you were on the bridge. The upper radar Arch has hinges to drop it down. Very important if you would be doing the Great loop with that vessel. You are so missed the bridge cushions which were suspended in the forward birth. They looked very attractive and in very nice shape. All in all a very well maintained boat. The engine room really showed well. The only downside for me was the heads. Everything else was close to perfect.

The flybridge cushions are hanging in the V berth
I gave You a 'Thumbs Up' for you review.The drooping OSB in the forward cabin gives me Major pause. A ceiling drooping shows water leaks,and there was 'wear' water stains under the venting in the lounge,even though the floor was freshed,I have to say No.Thank you though.The 'Storm damaged' for this price was so much better maintained.

The upper Arch had hinges to fold it down. The rep missed that small but important feature. That boat will definitely do the loop.
$1000 per foot
