Pacific Nor’West Boating – Adventuring Afloat in the Pacific Northwest is a new e-magazine and home to well-known editor and marine writer Chuck Gould!

Chuck was previously the editor of the popular Nor’westing Magazine which ended publication November 2011. Chuck and his team of skilled writers took this as an opportunity to put together a new magazine better fitted to the modern internet age. Pacific Nor’West Boating (www.pacnwboat.com) is the result — an on-line publication filled with articles on boating destinations, boats, recipes, fishing tips, maritime knowledge and much more — always fresh and always relevant.

Check out the article on our Halvorsen 32 Gourmet Cruiser “Island Gypsy” in the Encore Aweigh! section starting on page 40. pacnwboat.com

Waterline Boats / Boatshed Seattle has several select wooden-hulled boats in its brokerage inventory.
Would you consider wood? Don’t be so quick to say “no.” The fact is that you can get a lot of boat for your dollar when purchasing wood. Today’s market finds many wooden vessels being offered at astounding prices — in many cases these boats have been thoroughly and lovingly upgraded and are offered at a fraction of their recent cost to upgrade. Sure, a wooden boat will require an attentive maintenance program to maintain its condition. But with a huge savings on the purchase side that commitment to maintenance can be more easily tolerated.  The right wooden boat can provide a long, happy and successful boating future!

Take this beautiful Matthews 40 Sedan for example. She has been routinely, professionally and meticulously maintained and upgraded. From 2004-2005 it has had all new electrical, electronics, vacu-flush system, sinks, counters, floors, fabrics, foams, lighting…….and the list continues. The asking price for this 40 foot classic beauty…….$59,000! Compare that to any 40’  fiberglass vessel as extensively equipped and you’ll expect to spend considerably more.

Below is a list of superior wooden boats offered at exceptional prices relative to recent investments. Click on each for full specifications and up to 80 standardized large format photos.
