Obviously, where are the not so perfect ones? Maybe I am being foolish because if the market keeps up the way it is, a decent convertible will be actually affordable to me soon haha. I think I want something in the 50-60 foot rang, convertible....age doesn't matter, running engines (or at least...

Where do you guys get yours and what is good? I need to add soundproofing to my engine hatches. I removed it during the repower because it was saturated with oil from 25yrs. The new engines are quiet but I just want to see how much quieter they are with the soundproofing.

The teak trim on our 1985 61' MY bow pulpit has deteriorated and rotted to the point where we must dig-it out and remove it or replace it. There's a considerable amount of teak there, and I also think that the current deteriorated condition of the teak is resulting in some leakage into the anchor...

Almost all cruise ships are diesel electric now. Looks like the technology is filtering down to the smaller stuff. To me it looks like you guys that cruise at hull speed have a perfect application (variable pitch prop may be simpler/cheaper thoguh) http://www.ossapowerlite.com/ they have a...

I may pull the trigger on a used (to be rebuilt) pair of 6b's to repower my 36c (1970). The engines are bobtail, so I would have to start shopping for gears. In past threads others have said that the correct gear down angle is 10 degrees? Is there any varing from this angle or is it the only...

I needed a lift pump for my 15kw Westerbeke and found a sorce that was over $100 less than all the others. Service and advice were excellent. Shipping and handling cost was only what UPS charged. http://www.feathermanenterprises.com/ John Fetherman is the one you will talk to.

Well the forward head is 99% done which makes the whole job come in at about 3%. Sure is nice to have a private throne room. Took almost 3 days to strip and clean and varnish the doors and bulkheads to "construction grade". I'm up to 5-6 coats and need to let them cure to finish sand and re-coat. ...

My 74 36C's A/C panel is located in the locker in the head, it looks and I'm assuming it's original. It appears I may have a breaker going bad on the salon unit (the breaker on the left side of the box) as it will consistently blow after about 6 hours of use. I have checked to make sure it isn't...
