I was planning on picking up a boat sometime this year once I got accepted into the yacht club near me, but fate had other plans and a 1981 Hunter 37 basically fell into my lap.

It is in dire need of a good pressure washing and possibly a bottom job, but the sails are in really good shape and the engine runs well.

Had a good time this weekend sailing it across Mobile bay to its temporary home.

Aside from the pressure washing I need to check/replace some of the running lights and see why the autopilot isn't getting power. Its got a really nice Simrad plotter and Raymarine autopilot.

Congratulations on your new money-hole! She's gonna look nice when you get her cleaned up I think. Are you planning to to long-term cruising?

The club I've applied to has a decent sized cruising group and they do weekend trips pretty regularly which I'm excited to join in on.

The previous owner took it to Cuba, Mexico, Dry Tortugas and the Bahamas with some regularity so it's set up with a big battery bank and solar. I need to take that AC off the top and reinstall an internal unit. The AC unit blocks so much visibility.
