We recently bought an 81 GB Classic 42, it's a single screw repowered with a John Deere 6068 and I'm quite happy with it. We live in Anacortes and I've fished the San Juans in smaller boats for the last 30 years, I think I know the water pretty well, but handling a 42' GB compared to a 24' aluminum boat is quite the leap.
I really enjoy the water and boats and look forward to learning from you. I can already see there's a wealth of info here, and helpful people to boot. Please have patience with me if I ask simple questions, I already asked the broker from whom I bought the boat why they mention that the heads have been rebuilt with such a new engine. I forgot there are other heads in these boats.
Cheers,
Jim S.
