Generally there are a lot of scams on Craigslist and things of that nature. So I too would have thought it would be odd to be looking for a...
Yeah many boats. What kind of Fume smell? Is it raw diesel? Is it exhaust smell? Is it bilgey? Sewage?
You have to look on the Capstan and see what the drum is stamped for. It could be anything, or just copy what you have. You can re-use the chain...
Here's what you've really got to figure....How you're going to live on it. Do you want an aft deck that is up high and you have a nice view while...
Where that 81' tug boat is sitting is about 40 miles from Key West....it's hardly a problem to just leave it there on the reef as a...
The thing is, if you have a storm the magnitude of Sandy. It really didn't matter where you moved your boat, whether you put it on land or...
It didn't come from Cabo with Shaft zincs.
I managed 12 yachts during our Category 4 storm, Wilma when it hit south of Fort Lauderdale. Only 1 sustained ANY damage over $500. The key is...
I haven't run a Cabo for Cabo in over a year nor a Hatteras for Hatteras. Not to say that I won't in the future. I have never heard of one that...

Betsy can keep up, I think she cruises a touch over 30 knots. However, I don't think it's worth the trouble. You fuel savings on 4 pods versus 2...
Guys, he's talking about a 10' boat. Aluminum would be easy to shape and weld. Otherwise I'd do a cold molded hull....also relatively easy to...
A titanium prop!...... I would suggest Bronze. Aluminum has a nasty habit of welding itself to SS.
