Thanks guys, my attorney is on it but he had no recommendation for anyone in Delaware. I do think I have found someone though. Additionally I...
Made an offer on a barge and looks like the seller is accepting it. I will not be staying in any one port (or state) for extended periods so I...
I appreciate your comments. I find a lot of people simply do not understand how important a service dog can be or how to deal with someone that...
Ok, I have to visit Sailorman now. :)
68 years young and as I look back at the great memories in my life I can count on one hand the memories that were not on the water.
I understand, you should see what happens to engines at tractor pulls. What surprises me is they would use these engines to push large MYs. A...
That seems so strange to me as I come from an environment where Diesels run 8,000 to 12,000 hours with no problem. Of course they didn't have JT...

Is there a known seller for used yacht kit? A reputable seller with some track history? Say something like a davit, helm chairs, anchors, etc.?

I've been working with a broker I have known for a couple decades (buying and selling blow boats) and he is flying me in to go over this boat. He...

Nope, not at all and the input given has moved me along in the process and thinking about total cost. In fact I may use this thread during...

I was curious and found a place that sells rebuilt ecm (DDEC) units for about $1000 should it need one. Might almost be worth having one as a...
LOL...
