Wow she’s a beauty! This model is so cool. Love the cockpit right?? New to you?

Thanks so much. Great post!

Hey guys! Now that boat show season is upon us I was wondering if the seaport folks offer show discounts? I just went to the Newport RI show and they were not there. Does anyone know if they offer discounts during the various boat shows that take place down in say MD or FL? I’m just...

Morning! I have three hates leading to the lazarett on my 58 Yachtfish. During heavy rain water leaks down into the bilge as the hatches are not sealed and just sit on the gutters around the edges of the hole. Has anyone found a way to seal these hatches that works? I’m also contemplating...

Is it me or is the Yachtworld site wonky and glitchy? For me it’s slow and non responsive. I view it on my iPad, which is up to date on the updates so I don’t get it! Very frustrating and wondering if anyone else has this issue.

Hey there. Anybody have any experience with these? Checks a lot of boxes, being light, hypalon tubes, made in San Diego. Looks like nice 11 and 12 foot packages. Any knowledge on these? Thanks!

Guys, I’ve looked through the manuals and searched but cannot find out what the upper deck weight limit for a dinghy would be. I know I’d be limited by the David as well, but wondering the weight limit. Thanks!

Hi, just wondering if anyone has a source for the chains used to hold up the porthole window. Looked on Sams and didn’t see it. It’s just chain, but wondering if anyone had a stainless steel source. Thx!

Just curious if anyone knows how many of the 58 YF were made. Just got Jack Hargraves book for Father’s Day and was wondering. Wow! What a book btw. My wife and daughter found one for me on Amazon. It has a hand written note to someone at Hargraves on the first page. Very cool. Bygone...

Hey gents, I’ve always loved the mahogany or teak ladder back helm chairs you see on sportfishers and have a fair degree of competence working with wood so would like to try crafting a few for my bridge. The one thing I can’t seem to find is the hardware attaching the ladder back to the seat...

Hi everyone. I’m wondering if anyone has redone a shower using peel and stick vinyl tile? I’d prefer to save the weight and go with these light tiles but am wondering if anyone has used them and do they hold up well ? Thanks!

Hey anybody watching this? The scenery is awesome, but there’s a sweet Hatteras enclosed fly bridge that is in and out of different scenes. We are a few episodes in and it’s pretty good.

Hey guys, where do you all put your trash? I’m speaking in the galley specifically. I have the 58 yacht fish and love the galley, but as configured the only space for trash is across the way in the cabinet by the curved staircase to the salon. I’m really thinking of putting in a trash...

Anyone heard from anyone in New Bern? I saw 10 ft surge and lots of flooding this morning. On the Hatt Facebook page they have provided some space for Fountain Power Boats. Knit Wits and Hatterascal were brought inside. Those sheds must be pretty strong!

What have you used to glue veneer to a plywood substrate? Is there a particular brand that excels? Thanks!
