 Well, you have to start somewhere. About now, I have owned Snow Goose, the 37 foot Nordic Tug, for just about 8 months.  She fell into my lap just days after delivering the Monk 36 to her new owners.  About ten days after closing on the boat, days that were filled with exporting odds and ends to Goodwill while importing odds and ends of my own, a 2,000 mile shakedown cruise began. Sure, she was in great shape cosmetically and mechanically.  She was halfway through the Great Loop when the previous owners encountered a change of plans in the form of impending grandchildren.  What could she need? Not much, actually.  That did not keep me from putting my fingerprints on it.  I need an inverter if I ever wanted to get a night's sleep at anchor.  I'm a big fan of AIS.  I am not such a big fan of Raymarine electronics.These items were accomplished in Maryland.  The pilothouse instrument panel now resembles a SpaceX cabin, with a 16 inch Garmin radar/plotter display and autopilot.  St
