I was running a Fleming and the owner said that most of the masts installed on Flemings on the east coast are set up to hinge and clear that 19'...
The intake air side of the aftercooler is also important. They get coated and eventually clogged with oil from the turbo. Even a new engine will...
On the Bennett tabs, I think that adding indicators involves replacing the rams and running wiring from the tabs to the helm. There is a fine...
I would also vote for the Fleming for their approach to engineering. I know that a 65 did the loop a few years ago and others have gone up to the...
Did anyone figure out if it was the Molokai Strait, Hercules in the first posting?
The rubber rotors are pretty easy, if not disgusting, to replace. I did one and found the hose to be completely choked down with hard calcium...
So I guess I'll try to sum it up: Engines pull a massive amount of air through the engine room. Aftercooled engines don't care what the...
I'll second the amount of fuel burned correlates to the wear expected on the engine. I'm pretty sure the original poster mentioned a Cat 3208,...
Those are good Points. I've run both, probably more time on the Flemings, and they are incredibly quiet and smooth. No reverse chine and a fine...
blowby tests The important thing is the blowby test. They measure the blowby in cubic feet per minute. I think that re manufactured specs are...
All along the way... I've always thought along the same lines that good skill and experience should prevail. However, looking back, I'm sure...

I don't follow golf much, but I was sitting in a restaurant Saturday night and kept catching glimpses of the tournament in Pebble Beach. Great...
Err on caution With a new boat, I would err on the side of caution. I love catching a weather break and lopping off the distance on the outside....
It's a tough call. The situations (in terms of sea state, wind, etc) are always different and the boats are never exact model to model...
I've spent about 10 years running Flemings, Grand Banks, Marlows, OA's, and others. The one thing I've found is that boat owners come in two...
I spent seven years transiting that area. It seems to me that the NC/SC coast has a number of yellow markers. Most are marking artificial reefs...
