I really like Lifeseal for caulking things (not lifecaulk!). It's easy to work with and on and on. Sykaflex is very popular for around the...
I too wouldn't say that OA's quality is anywhere near Hatteras and Westport. Really while both have the same excellent quality, you cannot...
Parts are expensive. The other thing I've come across with Volvo's are strange issues once in a blue moon on one, that nobody could seem to...
The 3 destroyer accidents in the past year have launched several investigations into both the Pacific fleet and the Navy's entire fleet and has...
You need to get a good Detroit diesel mechanic out who can put his ears, eyes, and hands on these engines and figure out what exactly is going on...
As small as it is, why don't you just replace it with a new gear, instead of trying to fix obsolete stuff? There's one guy I forgot about that...
What I am getting at, is the people from the area's you mentioned, choose to do their yachting elsewhere. They may have a small boat in Ohio,...
A lot of my customers are from those places you mentioned. They prefer to keep their yacht here, use it year round and fly to it. Rather than...

You have to understand something, the economy is what really drives the yacht market. It is an agreed upon expense and an agreed upon loss...
You'd be surprised. Right now I have 2 different yacht owners that I work for that are both getting divorced after 34 and 37 years of marriage.
Try Transmission Marine in Fort Lauderdale. If they don't work on them, I'm sure they can tell you who does.
I think this is more of the fact that yacht clubs, no longer appeal to most newer yachters. They haven't really updated and been a part of the...
Perhaps there is a short on one of the wires, or a component that's shorted. Your best bet is to get a marine electrician out. Or start ohming...
You didn't mention your budget, but I'd definitely lean to a searay over those 3 brands. Speaking of Bluewaters. I ran a 70' bluewater to Nassau...
WHICH breaker, while what is running?
No, there are weep holes in the stringers further aft, near the owners mattress in the stern where the water runs the entire length of the...
The bilges are not sealed on a 53' MY, that I am sure of. Only the between the center stringers is sealed with fuel tanks from stringer to...
You keep referring to me. I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about the market and why it is such. Why there are a bunch of old Hatteras' for...
