Yeah, washing that thing in a day, or cleaning ALL of the teak decks in one day about broke me. LOLOLOL, but she was a great yacht and brings back...
Pulling the shafts every 2 years, if you've had no damage to the props is quite eccessive. 5 years is a good number. I wouldn't change anything...
I usually pour potable antifreeze down it, to winterize the water system and open every spicket and whatever until antifreeze (pink comes out)....
The story says that the Captain was delivering the drugs to someone else after they got back. I don't think any guests were on board.....owners...
This. Or, I worked on a 75' Jim Smith SF and it only had 2.5" shafts for 2000hp engines. This was because they were splined and didn't have the...
The fishing in Bimini is either hit or miss, usually not much in between also one area can be good 5 miles North, but not where you are. A good...

No, but their Shecrab soup at Tidewater is the best I've ever had!!!!!!!!!!
I'm having a hard time following your post. The boat has staterooms to sleep 6 crew, not including the guest staterooms? I would say on an 80'...
What everyone else said. And if you don't go fiberglass for a one off in that size range, most builders find it more beneficial to go with a cold...
How could you possibly even do that trip in 10 days? Take the normal route, then go back to where you came from on the dismal swamp route then...
Isn't that precisely what a Yacht Broker does for a living? If he already has a client that wants your boat and he approached you, pay him 5%...
Pascal- I agree with all of your info except the pre-survey seatrial. Very very rarely will a seller agree to that as it would cost the seller an...
Yeah it allows them to install the tank in a location that does not allow a gravity fed 1.5" ID hose to be run. IMO it's not the best way to do...
