First, thank you for your service in the military Joseph. Unfortunately I do not have a breakdown on the maintenance but I know SV Delos does a few videos breaking down the cost of annual maintenance. My annual cost including boat payment, slip rental, haul out, Shrink wrap and winter storage is around $8000 a season. Maintenance varies year to year so that’s a flexible number. Sails ar a lot more then a oil change as an example. Good luck with your search, and take your time and figure out what you want before you purchase it. If you buy a used boat in mint condition it will cost more but you’ll be ready to sail. If you prefer to buy the exact same boat with less amenities, And in worse condition you can slowly build it back up to great condition. Make sure the hall and the decks are dry and unless you’re really good at working on diesel engines, but the engine is in good shape. I personally think those are the most important things when purchasing a used boat. Everything else can be fixed or added as you go. Again, this is just my opinion and there are many opinions out there. Thank you again for watching my channel. Fairwinds and following seas.

Look up your boat on Facebook. Noel started a page just for your boat. Let me know if you don’t find it and you can PM me on Facebook and I will get you to in touch. Set luck with your new boat. Noel has done a ton of renovations on his since this boat tour. He’s very knowledgeable about this model.

Thank you Eric, more to come.

thank you Audree

Thank you for the tip Chris and more importantly, thank you for taking the time to watch the video and comment.

I'm docked in St. Claire Shores . I'd really like to talk to these people !

67vespa I have not figured that out yet.

benrest308 the owner of this one is a huge fan as well. Thank you for your input.

Mark Second Wind When I replace the windows on my 28-2 I kept the framework and replace the glass. I would join the group Pearson yachts. It’s a private group but if you ask to join I’m sure you’ll be able to. As far as the sail gate on the mast, mine was missing when I bought my 33-2 and I ordered it from www.rigrite.com/Spars/MetalMast_Spars/MetalMast_Mainsail_Gates.php#MM Hinged Sail Gates options... I started a group specifically designed for P 33-2 owners which has been great. There are many sailors much more knowledgeable than myself on the page and it’s a great way to talk to people with your specific model. I hope this helps.

Hi Alan, thank you for showing interest. I’m itching to get back on the boat and start filming as well. Living in Michigan, are usually go on the water in May. I’ll probably do some before and after‘s on prepping the boat before I splasher. Thank you again Alan, Fairwinds.

One more thing Alan, will you tell me the thing you enjoyed most about last season’s videos so I can add more that this season and give you guys, the viewers, more of what you like? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again

Thanks for the reply Scott. I live north of Ann Arbor outside of Pinckney. I prefer Anchor Pointe to Toledo Beach - it's a better value, and worth the extra drive. If you're wanting to monetize the channel, you know the answer, sail to PIB every other weekend, strap a go-pro to your chest, and make the blog all about bikinis. What I liked about your videos was your direct, honest style; you show people what it's really like to own a boat on the Great Lakes, and I'm hoping you show more of the Western Basin as most folks think Lake Erie is a polluted sewage canal when, in fact, it's a really nice place to boat. My beater boat is a go-fast, perhaps this season I can help get you some sailing footage as an excuse to burn some fuel ;-)

Alan Robbins You’re right, the difference between me having the girls in bikinis or not really affects the number of views. Like I said in my first episode, I really want to show PIB and some of the other islands and definitely plan to do that this year. And of course, there will be some bikinis. Stay in touch, we will definitely meet up somewhere this summer. Thanks again Alan.

Doc William thank you , I’m glad you enjoyed the vid.

Sailing Free At Last Thank you, you too!

Sorry for the late reply, thank you, fair winds

Ray Mtl wow, I did not know this. I will definitely check into this.

Leib33 LOL, I know, if you watch the boat tour of the bold is filthy. I had only had it for a very short period of time and was in a rush to get the girls down there to film. I promise the boat is in much better condition now. Just wait till next spring when you see a sailing. Thank you for the comment!

Glenn Clark It’s over $1200 to store the boat inside not to mention $300 each direction for my mast. It’s just not cost-effective. I’d be better off to have a cover made it will pay for itself in a few short years

rengawkf me too!

Great tip Randy, i used to remove all the cushions, I should probably go back to that. Would you mind sending me the address of the place you bought your holding tank? The last one I bought was from West Marine And it had an access That leaked like a sieve. I’m looking for one with no access port. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for commenting on my channel.

Tim Diedrich yes, and moved up to the 33-2.

Thank you for For the suggestion. Both the oil and temperature sensors have been checked and changed.

Evvy Thomas , thanks. Part B will be the interior.

Julio Peres, thank you, that was my goal to kind of promote the club and its founders. Glad you enjoyed.

Forrest Ellner I really love her too. If you're on Facebook, go to Pearson 33-2 sailboat owners and join our page. I started it when I bought my boat and we're trying to grow a nice network of 33 owners.

Jerry Balogh yes, are you down there as well?

Scott Flick Sailing I'm up in Oakland county, in Commerce. I recognized the power plant in the background. I was wondering if you had any problems with the shallow water around there. I have an outboard trailered boat.

greyump my boat draws 6 feet and as long as you look at the charts you'll be fine.

Scott Flick Sailing I'm looking forward to seeing your video of the Lake Erie islands cruise.

greyump awesome, we're going to hit middle Bass Island anPut in Bay.

Steffenator Great tips! Very appreciated. Thank you for watching.

Bernard Nawrocki thank you for watching! I agree, it's time for me to get a better microphone. Tips are always appreciated. Fairwinds

campbub oh ya, were neighbors. Lol

david pac thank you so much for watching the videos! If you like Sailing, stay tune for future videos. Thanks again, Scott

david pac, If you check out the boat tour of my 28-2 you will see a very similar layout. I'm a huge fan of the Bill Shaw design. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

i have caught up and watch all your videos now. :)

Paul E thanks! Are you still sailing?

Dutch Flats, according to sold boats .com, which tells what all the 28-2's sold for on yacht world and boats.com, the going rate was as low as 13 and is high as around 18. Most people ask 18,9 or so. I wanted mine to sell so I listed it for 17. I ended up selling it for 15. I wanted to sell fast and the buyer paid 3000 to ship the boat to Wisconsin. Good luck. I just got the 33-2 and I am extremely pleased with the extra 5 feet. You get a lot more displacement, and a very comfortable interior. Although, I was fine with the interior of the 28-2.

DalainaRenee, great idea, thank you!

Thank you Delaina.
