I need to have my chain rode reconditioned. I have about 200'. My friend stated there is a place in Pensacola that will send it off to Mobile. His friend had his redone and it was great. Is there any place around Panama City that does this? Has anyone had any experience is having this done to...

Can anyone recommend a yard to reconfigure my flybridge (1976 43 DC)? I want to remove the fiberglass benches and replace them with captain's chairs. Prefer Florida Gulf Coast (Tampa homeport) but Keys and east coast are doable. I would rather travel and pay a little more than deal with the...

I have a 69' 45C and it apparently has a glass over plywood house and bridge. Does anyone know when the house/bridge material changed to all fiberglass? I seem to recall a 1986 52C that I ran had a glass over wood house and a solid glass bridge. Does this sound right? Do the new models still...

I have a set of morse controls for throttles and trannies on my 32SF. Since my rebuilds I haven't put too much time on the boat (just got everything done two weeks ago....although you can never get everything done on a boat!). I noticed I don't get full rpms with the engines (1985 454's carbed). ...

Does anyone have experience changing out the rear crankshaft oil seal on a detroit? How difficult is it to perform? Any tricks or cautions I should know about? I have my transmissions out and it seems like a good time to make the change, any comments/advice is appreciated. Tx, mike

I've been searching for a 58MY for about a year now and all of them I have seen or inquired about have had stabilizers, including all of the 58YFs I've seen/inquired about, which led me to believe stabilizers on these models (1977-1979 MYs and early to mid 1970s YFs) were standard equipment;...

There were a lot of comments as to the correct positioning of the throttles and clutch ( transmission or gear levers ). I found a possible reason why they are where they are on a Hatteras....Willis Slane was a Airplane Pilot...Airplanes always group throttles together and propellor controls...

I will be having my 53ED's bottom "stripped" using a media blast. Then we will do a complete blister repair and Interlux bottom system. I was wondering if anyone has recently completed a similar job and if so how much for stripping? Always trying to keep things "competitive" with quality...
