And then there’s poor old Ballerina been sitting since the 04 hurricanes. Someone needs to save her

I like putsing around the docks. Except for those pesky gates with a key or combo. But, with a kayak I don't have that problem.... and no one looks down.

Re: Boat yard wandering
I love wondering and working in boat yards.
Something about getting sweaty and dirty. Tyvec coveralls with hood, respirators, face shields and gloves taped at the wrist all on a 98 degree day. A real wet suit!
Much to see and do.

Re: Boat yard wandering
I really enjoy wandering through a boatyard , but it’s hard unless you know the management. Airports were once easy to wander through and the people enjoyed explaining and showing you planes . That wasn’t that long ago , when we were a civil and trusting country, we’ve lost a lot . Also I have heard that a hull should not be lengthened more than 10% of water line length. Unless running gear is extended too.

Re: Boat yard wandering
SERIOUSLY??? The 58 TC sub has a 7 foot extension that was done in Ft Lickerdale (forgot who), but looks as fair as a factory job. ZERO handling issues and the LWL helps in hull speed and economy as well. Hell, we ran 11 MPH at 1200 rpm from Mobile and was burning 100 gallons in a 10 hour day including all the locks. ws
