Small 25 foot diesel trawler Gulf Mariner built by independent shipwrights with Yanmar 4jhe engine

Great documentary !

cheers ! love your videos ! thumbs up !!

LOL! You're fifty and in a few years you will be old and decrepit? I'm 65 and will be building the next boat over the winter of '16-'17. This will be to play with, but we're looking at a floating retirement. (We lived aboard for 15 years.) Decrepit? Golly! Just how bad is that Canadian health care? Thanks for the videos!

I had a 4jhae in my steel sailboat. A fantastic motor.

Boating in the rain is actually a favorite to me. Just you and the water and nature. That plus the few mariners out there who deserve to be there working or just enjoying the scenery and solitude.

Aptly named, Top Fun Guy. Some really great videos, Llew. They make me want to go out and empty my bank account.

Hey this is a really nice boat. Thanks for taking so much video - I'm in the moorage slip across from you and I have always been curious about this boat. The improvements you've made look fantastic, as does the new paint job. Just curious about the trip time from your slip to Bedwell Bay. I'm thinking of selling my boat and buying a little pocket cruiser that cruises about the same speed as yours, and I was wondering how long it would likely take to get up to Twin Islands on an average day (fighting the tide a little). Keep the videos coming.

Hi I'm loving your videos of the boat ! Keep um coming thanks!

I'm enjoying your videos, thanks. I'm a long-time sailor who recently converted to power with a small trawler, a Willard Vega Voyager which I'm restoring. So, I've been looking for videos about small trawlers and using them. My boat is in Blaine, WA so we're not that far apart. Maybe we'll meet up on the water someday, I'll keep a lookout for Gulf Mariner. Oh yea, don't fret about getting too old for the boat... I'm 70 this year, still going strong and on my 9th boat (first powerboat) ;-).
Regards, Gary

I love this boat!!!
