I spotted the Floridan at the Labelle docks on the Caloosahatchee River Wednesday night. On her way to the east coast for several months of boat yard activity. I spoke to a not terribly well informed passenger who was the only person aboard at the time. Apparently she sold for $70 something. New...

Some where along the way I lost the ability to have the text wrap to the next line and I can't figure it out. I'm sure the answer is simple, but not for me! Help please.

My newest davit design, folding boom with sliding extensions. Additional photos follow in separate posts. The dinghy is a Highfield 340, aluminum hull and a mind boggling 7 foot beam!

I have spent the last 2 hours trying to upload photos. Something is wrong with the site or with me. Need to contact the webmaster.

Trying to remove the original Cruise Air compressors. Each is held in place by 4 devil bolts. Originally thinking they were hanger bolts, machine thread on one end and lag screw thread on the other. The machine screw end it is double nutted. I was able to get them loose to the point that they...

Being the glutton for punishment that I am, I acquired a POS 63 E type in 87 or so. 2 or 3 years and much money later I realized one of my "dreams" (sort of). While the ride was very good, and for an early 60s car it was mechanically sophisticated (4 wheel disc brakes, independent rear...

Well I can't top Dave (can anybody?), but I thought I would show a reasonable before and after. A lot of hours here!

Installed!

My latest davit getting installed on a Marine Trader 50 located in Key West. Owner has a 13' Novurania. Just saying:).

This will work. 1,000 lb. capacity. PM me for details.

A few photos from my "beta" model. Although originally conceived for aft cabin boats, this was on a Mainship 40 sedan. A few challenges primarily due to a lack of material (strength) in the transom. The good news is that it worked beautifully, the customer is very happy, and best of all I got an...

I prototyped a couple of wrenches recently. These are for a 3.5" nut which is typical for a 1.75" shaft. Other sizes can be made. I'm thinking $25 each

I know that this is an ongoing issue for 43 DC owners, and because I couldn't find anything that I thought was appropriate, I decided to design and build my own. I used it this past winter, and I was really pleased with the way it turned out. It also has wired and wireless control.I thought that...
