I would say that there are not many people on the West Coast knowledgable enough to care for a 68' Lazzara and for what you're looking for. That...
Here's a pic
And this one too?
I've pivoted 200 tons off of a wood piling, if the conditions are not super windy, you're not really putting that much force on the piling to...
Judging by the reddish color of the bronze in the area's above where the hose is on the closest part to it to the picture, you might have a little...
As far as I know, commercial ships have to transfer over from using this "bunker fuel" to diesel fuel, a few miles from the coast and when...
Deliberately was never mentioned. However, leaving the engine room water tight door open as well as other water tight doors for convenience, is...
The packing size sounds about right on the shafts. I like the GFO packing, it lasts a long time and you can tighten it to where you barely get a...

It's biggest benefit is nobody can fall down the ladder, in it's location I could see someone stepping on the step to nowhere and tumbling into...
3126's are fine motors now, with all of the updates. They have a lot of torque and they run well. Early on before they got all of the bugs...
I've run the 60' GT and I agree it was a very good running boat and dry. The only complaint is that I felt that it really should have larger...
Wiring, absolutely. Parts/systems are generally cheaper to buy/fix and simpler and easier to find. Exterior Maintanence, much easier (much less...
I would call that marina that's right inside there, I think it's Pirate's Cove Marina, or the Coast Guard station that's located there as well....
