I have a monel pipe, perhaps 8" in dia, which runs behind each 8-71. Raw water and exhaust gas is fed into the pipe (I believe gas feeds into an "inner" pipe and is cooled by raw water in the "outer" pipe. The pipe is "T" shaped. Raw water and gas flow outboard to the "T," combine and then head...

If you're going to be at the boat show next month, please be sure to stop by and pay us a visit. We'll be at the Hatteras display - probably somewhere near the Hatteras Collection merchandise sales area.

I was wondering if Hatteras had a recomended placement for additional fuel tanks on a 1985 32SF before I try to rig something above the deck? The current 265gal tank is a bit small and I'd like to add about 100 additional gallons in some way shape or form. Any ideas??

Yesterday our 36 Mainship sold (pending survey, of course) to the first person who looked at it. This was great news because we had decided to sell our current boat before proceeding with our plans to purchase a 53MY. There are several 53's we are looking at, including one down on the...

Looking for port lights for a Hat Tri cabin 44. They are cast aluminum and two different sizes. Anyone know where some used units might be that are in good shape? Seems no one is making new ones that fit the same pattern.

Looking at two boats and trying to decide which to buy. One is a 1979 43C and the other is an 1985 45C. Asking price on both are close in the 250K range. The 43' is much cleaner. I will probably want to eventually re-power whichever one I get as I would like the extra speed. I am told that the 45...

It's time to bite the bullet and update my early 80's vintage electronics. Chartplotter, Radar, DF, VHF. Autopilot. I kind of like these new networked devices but am also looking for value. The salespeople at West Marine, Boat/US & Boaters World really don't impress me. There must be some...

I am doing some work on my 72 36c and want to take the props off to be worked on. I believe that they are not correct for my engines. The boat has the original Chris Craft prepared 427 Ford gas motors with Paragon drives. I cannot get the engines to turn over 3000 rpm. Can someone help me with the...

Curious...I have some Ground Fault detector outlets in stalled on my '72 43' MY, which has the 110v only, coming in with 50 amp 110v one leg and the neutral. Are the Ground Fault detector indicated. Any ABYC protocols on them? Thanks.

I am currently considering purchasing this boat. 1986 41' w/ 671's -1200 original hours. Many updates and very clean. I have several concerns: the hours, the galley arrangement (takes up entire port side of salon) and rumors of an entirely cored hull???????Any comments on this boat would really be...
