I have 1965 8v71n's in my 50" MY. What I believe are referred to as the collectors are the old style. They look like large truck mufflers hanging over the engines. The pipes go down to elbows and flanges bolted to the manifolds. One large outlet goes to the exhaust tubes and out. Got the...

OK, gang, I have my two free tickets from Hatteras for the boat show. This Northeastener ain't going to make it down. The first PM I get will get them. I will be at the boat early today and then on the "Hog" the rest of the day, so don't think you lost out if I don't respond right away...

Just pulled my Jet Dock out and brought it home. It is a 6" X 9" dock for any jet ski or small jet boat or tender. I believe I still also have the flanges that connect it to the dock. I am in Connecticut. These things cost $700 or more new. Make me a reasonable offer and it's yours. I...

Well, here we go. I am going down to Florida to help a friend of mine cruise the 48' Ocean he purchased with 600hp Mans from Palm Gardens, FL up to Connecticut. I'll be out of touch for much of the trip, but if any of you members spot an Ocean with the name "Fish Merchant" on her, that's us...

OK, guys, Karl and a few others have made some comments about MAN's not being their first choice (if any) in engines. I am happy with my 45 year old Dietroits but a good boating friend of mine is seriously looking at a boat (not a Hatt) that has MAN's. I told him that I do not know too much...

I am now the proud "owner" of these cd's. They are pretty interesting. The first to send me a PM get em! K

The Admiral and I spent some time on Long Island over the Thanksgiving weekend. We were able to hook up with Nick, "Ocean K'Motion" (the next one's on me) in Greenport. Hope you got the winter stuff finished. See you next year on the water. Finally got to meet Steve, "Bertramp" in Sag...

I saw a few familiar Hatts at Block last weekend and had the pleasure to briefly speak with Jeff Shayne and his family. We'll hopefully see you at your marina August 9th. Hope all had a good holiday! Capt K :)

OK. Every two to three years, I replace my dock lines. I usually use 5/8" X 35' or 40' for my 50' motoryacht. I know it calls for 3/4" but for my usual slip and general use, they work fine and handle well. Now the problem is that all the local stores sell what appears to be the same...
