1964 Pearson Commander, 26' Pearson Commander, 1964, Hull #4
(Do you have any idea how many of these they made!)
What do you say about a nice boat like this one?
For starters, she is very comfortable for quite a few folks in the cockpit, but when sleeping time arrives, only two are going to be in out of the rain.
Original Pearson brouchure claims sleeping quarters for FIVE. (Salesmen will tell you anything to close a sale, won't they..)
Fancy gourmet meals - The only fancy meals served on board this boat are the ones brought with you. Tough to cook turkey on a single burner propane stove.
That's not all bad though, because there is no dishwasher and all those leftovers would be jammed in the little custom modified Igloo cooler too.
Entertainment - yes sir, just like the big boats, a confiscated high schooler's boom box..
In the aft engine room, we've got a 6 horsepower Johnson, not to be confused with a Cummins, because they are both painted white.
Electronics, well - they saved their money for new sails and generally try to go out on fair to real good days only.
There is a VHF S/S Radio, (works too).
The best gadget is this photovoltaic apparatus, known to most as a solar panel. They haven't got it completely figured out, but the skipper claims he can beef up a battery charge to run those 4 fancy Halogen cabin lights for just about forever.
Best part is the maintainence program. It's similar to the mortgage payment - darn little.......
Hire an expensive Surveyor. The answer is still going to be the same,
"SHE IS WHAT SHE IS"
