I've been recently looking over the "Top 10" comments from several months ago, as I also am looking at a nice 36' Willard Vega Offshore up here in the pacific Northwest. I would very much appreciate any information, comments, opinions, and what to look out for on a 1963 model. Also, I've only seen the 36' Willard Vega Pilothouse in pictures (Forrest Myers' boat a is really nice looking boat). Looks like the same hulI as the Offshore. I love the Pilothouse design. Does anyone know of any in the PNW? Thanks!

Their main problem is that they are all getting old. I'd also like to nominate the 32' Fales Seeker. Not many of them were built as I understand that Mr. Fales got tired and decided to go out of business. They are very similar to the Willard 30' trawler but the extra two feet makes quite a bit of difference. Forrest Myers 36' Willard Vega "Trident" Sunny Ft Lauderdale
