A couple pages from a 1974 Defender catalog I came across. When my dad got the Ray Jefferson 520 depth sounder I held my head a little higher walking past the brand new 48 uniflite, I was around 10 years old ha. We also had some version of RDF, I was told never to touch it and I never did...

12 pair tigress anodized aluminum rod storage rings. No corrosion. Pm with offer.

If anyone wants any of these, make an offer. Used engine room intake louvers have rivets or rivet holes, a couple have minor cracks, some are factory angle cut on top to clear intake holes, some are square both ends. Clamshells are 9” top to bottom and need refinishing. Plastic clamshell...

Picture is not of my boat, just using a pic from an old 53 in boat yard as an example. I'm thinking this recess wouldn't be too difficult to retrofit to my transom. Instead of reinventing everything just use the design hatteras used on hundreds of boats. Wouldn't look redneck, plus no...

Not mine New open box SMX II Control https://www.ebay.com/itm/316082946040?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9egpgfveqek&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ipb9CdBbQD6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

As part of my trim tab project I’m tackling everything that’s needed in that area, for the most part. I always swore that the packing gland bases leaked. Not a stream of water but there was always some water and never could find the source. Rudders were last repacked 25 years ago but didn’t...

Any one have a source they’ve previously used for larger size carriage bolts? Looking for 5/8x4 1/2

Anyone know the owner of this 1985 53 MY? It’s been on the hard at my marina for several years. For the first few the shrink wrap would come off in the spring, they would do a little tiny bit of work and it would be re-wrapped in the fall. The wrap didn’t come off for the last two years and...

Now that I've come to the conclusion that the existing antiquated tab system is not repairable, I have to choose a new system. The boat currently has the insta/trim style wiring to helms along with insta/trim rocker switches that are relatively new. Of course she has the pocketed fiberglass...

you got to admit, the old dingy basement chic really makes the heads pop. an overall masterful combo of airy boudoir and coal chute. 873.12 hp 8v71 engines is an impressive feat, the .12 really puts it over the top. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1973-hatteras-45-8634779/

My insurance is Charter Lakes as agent and Markel as carrier. I was recently requested to self survey the boat for them. Various questions about the boat, mostly with a yes or no answer. Some pointed questions on physical updates and berthing in and out of season. Also required was digital...

A good morning chuckle here. Only defect, according to seller, is cat clawed a locker door. I’d say by the looks of one main engine and otherwise this pristine example could traverse the pacific given enough fuel. As RSmith said about the condo-ization of boats until they are given up for...

The core in flying bridge supports and cockpit side decks was pretty much wasted. Took out all rod holders, deck fills etc from side decks. Cut away microscopically thin fiberglass layer that joined flying bridge support on outer house skin from inner cockpit side skin. Used fiberglass rod...
