It was repowered in 2008 by a tugboat captain from Kingstown R.I. I bought it in 2011. I'm keeping it forever, that's how much I enjoy this vessel. I boat out of Wareham MA.

Thank you for welcoming me to the forum. I've had my 1975 F-32 for three years now. GINGER LEE always gets favorable comments everywhere I go thanks to its timeless good looks, and it's strong enough to survive the typical Buzzards Bay chop. I did some modifications to suit our cruising style: since we (wife and I) keep it on a mooring, I removed the Princess electric stove/oven and replaced it with a top loading cooler and plumbed in a drain pump. We cook on our barbrque grill or portable butane stove. I converted the dinette to a permanent double bed with storage underneath and built a fold-down table in the salon, starboard side, so that with tall stools, we can eat or just hang out and see everything going on outside, something we couldn't do in the original dinette. I also added an extra fresh water tank between the engines. Solar panels keep the batteries charged. To extend our boating season, I installed a heater that uses hot engine coolant.

It's basically a good lookin' trawler. Cruises at 10 mph @ 1600 rpm. Uses 2 gph. Max rpm is 2400, I never took 'em there 'cuz I like to go slow. Previous ownes says it will plane.

I love Plymouth. Wife and I had burgers at KKaties over the weekend. Where do you keep your boat?

She is still on her boat stands and blocks in my backyard. I guess you can say she's a real fixer upper. She needs just about everything, so it's a slow work in progress. We have two other trojan lovers in Plymouth Harbor a 1972 or 73 31ft trojan sea breeze flybridge but the owner has removed the flybridge and the other is I guess they call it a 1980 Command bridge with yanmaar diesels. I told them both to join the forum theres great info and knowledge on it.O yes KKaties burgers are awesome. Remember spring is just around the corner so get that F-32 To Do List Ready and enjoy the forum/club.
