This particular 55' Hatteras SF that I picked up in Biscayne Bay in Miami and had to run to Lighthouse Point, must have been sitting and not run...
I've noticed Racor came out with new Racor elements for the 1000's,900's and 500 turbine series about a year ago. They seem to be identical but...
Given the size boat you're looking at and the age, 9 out of 10 of them are going to have a lot of things needing fixing, mostly small things but...
You cannot do it from Lake Erie on the Erie Canal east, that is 16'5. You are going to have to go from Lake Erie, through the Welland Canal...
Congratulations, should be a good combo with 12v71's TI's. I ran one and it handled better than the 52' and 53's and was more stable in a beam sea...
Why are you so set on this Albin 28 when you've surveyed 2 of them and they both surveyed poorly? IMO Albin should've stuck strictly to...
Anyone can buy tickets for the show once it is in session. Parking yourself on the Las Olas bridge is a great vantage point with a good zoom...
Just out of curiousity, what coring are you using for the hull? Okuma in the cold molding of the hull or divinycell there also?
What fiberglass finish do you have? On Gelcoat I like Collinite fleet wax. The 3m with scotchguard isn't bad either. On Awlgrip, I use the...
I've seen people re-do center console floors with divinycell and not sure they glassed the bottom side, perhaps they put 1 layer on it before...
I agree, taking this boat from San Diego to Fort Lauderdale is full or peril and danger. Ship the boat, enjoy The Great Loop which is a beautiful...
That's a ship that Sevenstar uses at times for Europe to US routes. They use those big lift ships for many shipments of yachts from Europe to WPB...
For a few reasons. Plywood may only needs to be painted, but some builders do glass the bulkheads 100% instead of just tabbing them. Coring...
I agree, and the crew had no chance of launching a side to life boat in hurricane force winds or surviving a hurricane floating in the water in...
I wouldn't want a boat that is cored below the waterline, ever. Hullsides yes, below waterline no. My only exception would be a cold molded SF.
Or if they had the Captain of the Bounty or El Faro at the wheel, it would've been there already, or not.
I know the current structure of the USCG licensing. Master: oupv, 50 ton, 100 ton, 200 ton, 500 ton, 1600 ton, and unlimited master. I do not...
I don't remember exactly but seem to recall airex had issues with it gassing off as it aged and delamination, but do not quote me on this as it's...
It's no vendetta, it's the truth. It was solely the Captain's decision to sail that course. What about what the Captain cost 32 families and...
Why? What about the families of the 32 other crew members whose captain steered them to their fate? Who's defending them? Who's sticking up for...
