Very true to leave the blowers on. ALSO physically check the bilges after fueling and always before startup as well. It sounds like it had a...
The older style will have a transmission bolted directly to the engine and then a small 1' driveshaft to a remote mounted MPM v-drive and the...
What kind of issues are you facing?
I agree. Washington State if you're interested in trawler and expedition yacht builders. North Carolina if you're interested in Sportfish and...
If you're unsure on how to change them, I would highly recommend paying a mechanic that is knowledgable to change them. Not to mention changing...
If you do the Great Loop and follow the route during the normal time, the water level is usually much higher than posted. For example if you're in...
The 50' Searay is fine for seaworthiness. I wouldn't say that doing 150 mile jaunt in 5-7' would be fun, but it will take it no problem....
Get 2 long studs a touch longer than the normal mounting bolts and put them in the head on the outsides. Get the manifolds on the studs and just...
The Searays are good boats. I have managed 2-50' Sundancers in the past. They run good at cruise and slow speeds. They handle well and ride...

But I think an Expedition yacht of the size we're talking about. An unfaired hull fits in. It is an Expedition yacht after all. I see it kind...
Fairing and painting a steel hull adds quite a bit of time and money to the boat.
The boat looks great. I would get on that fuel leak very quick, because if it's the tank, you may end up with 400 gallons in the bilge...
I was talking about the buyer's broker. BUT, well established and good yacht brokers are typically reputable and would only recommend good...
The way I have seen very successful and long time established Yacht Brokers recommend a surveyor, is that they gave a buyer a list of about 5...
A Hatteras of that age should cruise at 20 knots or really close to it. Why doesn't it?
Yes, but I have also know of 2 boatyards that have higher than the industry standard insurance requirements to keep MOST subcontractors out,...
I think it is relevant, as what boatyards charge on subcontractors is included in the thread. I also think many people forget the strain that a...
I think if the 454's are propped correctly that they'll run just as good as the old 427's you have now. I think buying all of the Crusader parts...
