The boat on Palm Beach IS the same boat as the one that hit the island in the Bahamas with the heavily damaged bow in post #59. I found this...
And there is a neat gauge when you do that, called an exhaust gas temperature gauge, that would make most mechanics and engineers fall off their...
So does the pulpit (looks like a striker). However the hull is way too narrow to ever be a striker.
Are you and Riley related? You guys look like brothers.....same facial features.
Yes, over zincing a boat is bad. It will cause corrosion also by creating more of a ground type scenario. As long as your brushes, bonding...
Certain things are a definate. You are never going to find a European brand of circuit breaker on a U.S. made yacht for the U.S. market. Nor...
I mainly was speaking of the quality of the components and build and what I said is true 98% of the time of Asian yards like the other poster...
Which leads me to ask this question. What do you do if you're hard aground. I've never experienced this myself. But all of the normal tow...
The Grand Banks 72' cruise speed is 18.5 knots all of the other Aleutians are around there too 16.5-18.5 knot cruise, hard to find data on the...
I think you could easily get it done for that price. ONLY reason being is the boat is right at the tide line on the beach. So you could get a...

Because it is overloaded at every RPM if it is not propped so that the boat runs 3500rpm WOT in foward while the boat is fully loaded with...
No, it's made for removing rust stains on clothes (laundry) so it's not that harsh.
No damage to gel coat or paint with using whink that I have seen. I've been using whink for over a decade. The brown bottle labeled "rust stain...
Yup Whink. It's in a brown bottle and can be found in some grocery stores by the laundry stain stuff. Pour a little on, watch the rust...
ALL of the Asian boats about sums it up. They all use the same components, usually Chinese or Taiwanese off brand copies of American ones. Items...
That is one VERY long day. I'd check the fill caps and make sure the o-ring is in good condition on them and the vent location. Very rare that...
Therein lies the rub. How expensive it is to deal with derelict boats. With a car, you're right the scrap cost usually exceeds the towing cost...
Thomas Baker had until today to remove his vessel from the sand. Now Palm Beach County is going to get involved and develop a plan to move her...
