This early spring show got off to a blustery start, with some excitement as all the brokers brought in their boats for the line-up! Saturday and Sunday were not bad weather-wise, with some sales taking place and many good showings. We were doing showings on: 43' Eastbay SX, 38' Eastbay, 40' Legacy, 42' Nordic Tug 2008, 47' Bayliner 4788, 57' Cooper Pilothouse, 40' Nordhavn Trawler and 57' Nordhavn Trawler.
Thanks to those that toured AAA Yacht Finders pre-owned brokerage yachts, and we hope to see you all at Trawler Fest in May. Perhaps we can make YOUR boating dreams come true, and help you prepare you for the cruising season!
Keep the Anacortes Boat Show on your calendar for next year. It's a great show for the whole family to enjoy in a very boater-friendly town. There is always a full array of boats to board & tour, plus entrance to this annual show is FREE!
Jim Crouch is a lifelong boater with a love of the water that goes back to his childhood. He was born into a boating family in Seattle, and has owned over 15 boats himself. His current vessel is a classic canoe-stern Scottish wooden trawler that he has meticulously & lovingly restored.
In 2006 Jim retired from the luxury automobile business, and joined the team at AAA Yacht Finders, who specialized in high-end passagemaking trawler yachts such as Nordhavn, Krogen, Grand Banks and expedition yachts, as well as luxury yachts such as Northern Marine. It was a natural fit for him, and Jim is often heard to say, "What could be better than spending your days talking to boaters about boats?"
What Jim enjoys most these days is to introduce others to his life-long passion. He has an eye for quality vessels and a good listening ear to discern your goals and interests. One of his most interesting yacht sales was a 55' Rozema Aluminum Trawler - a rugged commercial exterior with a surprisingly elegant yacht-quality interior finish. It was purchased by a fish export/wholesale family in Alaska, and Jim thinks it is the perfect match!
Whether you are selling your current yacht, or looking for your next yacht purchase, Jim will give you the service you deserve from start to finish. He knows how he likes to be treated during the shopping and buying process, and will strive to make the whole experience a fun-filled journey that will make your boating dreams come true...
