This picture was taken in 2007 at the haul out yard in Sitka, AK. We spent 14 days out of the water working on the hull and deck. We then went back in the water and spent two more weeks on the pilot house, stack, boom, and pit. We hired a professional corker and a shipwright for the serious work while we did the scraping, sanding, seam filling, and painting.

These last 5 photos are much older than all the others. Lots of work was done after these were taken - the seats were re-upholstered, a new ceiling was installed, the exhaust area was wrapped in soundproofing, and the pilot house was repainted. The alternator was upgraded and replaced with a 90Amp version. The washdown pump was removed and replaced with an electric pump. Soundproofing was added in the engine room, the electrical wiring was improved and lots more.

Greg,

You can find prices for the troll licenses, fishable areas and seasons, and tons more information at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website.

The Gold Dust does not include any licenses (alaska power troller permits are currently $35,000). Yes, I have tons more information so just let me know what you want to know.

Do you still have this boat? As a 1971, is it insured/insurable? When you filled the seams, what did you use? Do you actually get any benefit out of your trolling valve? I have one of those stupid things on a TD506 and it is fairly useless for me considering the price tag. 10 seems a bit narrow, I've got a 33X9 and she rolls. How is the roll on that one? The 36 refers to overall or keel?

Thanks...

Jon

2008-02-18 06:19:19

Yep, I've still got it. It can be insured.

The seams below the waterline were filled with bearshit and the seams above were filled with DAP 33 window glaze mix. The deck and bulwarks seams were filled with Sikaflex. I don't have a trolling valve on the engine. It's a heavily built boat - you step on from the dock and it has a slight movement. On the ocean she will roll when beam-to the seas, but when the stabilizers are in the water she becomes very stable and doesn't roll much. 36' is the overall length.

The 371 came out of the Duna from Port Townsend a few years ago when it was repowered. It's in really great shape but is now in Pelican, AK.

Hi Jon,

I'm wondering if Gold Dust is still on the market? Gold Dust is a mighty fine looking vessel.. Looks like y'all were catchin' plenty, too! Hope you're doing well in Pelican. See you out there.

"IF" the boat is still for sale, where is she located? Are you there with the boat and available for sea trial etc?

Thanks,

Barry

Jon

2008-04-23 01:27:48

She's in Pelican, AK and we'll be up there in a couple weeks to a month. We may take her to Sitka so that it's easier to show her off.

Afternoon Jon,

I am interested in your boat... Was curious if a recent survey has been conducted? Also, will you be around Sitka or somewhere other than Pelican for a showing?

Regards, MS

Hi Jon,

I would like to talk to you about the boat as well. I'm in Petersburg and would like to take a look at it (Sitka or Pelican are ok for me). If you could give me a call that would be great (907)518-1468.

We are leasing the boat for a month, but it's still for sale for $30,000. It's in Sitka now and you can stop by and take a look. Fred is leasing it and has the first option to buy it. We don't have any cell coverage since we're in pelican.

nwmegan

2008-06-01 02:23:12

Thanks for the reply Jon. Was wondering how long the boat will be in Sitka for. I am thinking about taking a trip north to see it. Thanks again, Megan

Jon

2008-06-02 13:25:22

It's back in Pelican as of last night. I'll make a post here if it moves again.

Tim

2008-06-23 19:45:42

Hi Jon,

I'm in Sitka getting ready t o start trolling. I see the Goldust here in town and it's leased for the season? Still for sale?
