When I got my insurance renewed this past summer, I was notifed that I would have to have a new survey done just prior to next year's renewal. Based on the market conditions (assuming they don't change much before next spring), it wouldn't surprise me if my boat surveys for less than my current...

It is interesting that the David Pascoe topic came up in another thread. I have a friend that asked me if I knew of a good surveyor in the area (we live in Panama City), and I referred him to Pascoe's website. He called the office number listed last week and no one returned his call. My friend...

I have 90 degree fiberglass elbow in my exhaust that is leaking, It' connects 6" exhaust hose. I know it's going to be a major PIA to get the elbow loose from the hoses. I was hoping someone could give advice or tips that would make the job a little less difficult. The hoses have probably been...

I got my boat out of the boat yard today after adding trimtabs and changing the pitch in my props. As I pulled away from the yard, I let the engines idle along while they got up to operating temp. I have 6BTA's 250hp, with 175ish running temp. As I increased the throttle, I smelled something...

I have removed the panels under the salon windows in my '72 36C due to poor condition and water damage. Rather than going back with same type of material, I am considering replacing with fiberglass or fiberglass coated panels. My boat is in overall poor cosmetic condition (but very solid...

I have a 1972 36c with cummins 6bta's 250hp. The engines are rated for 2650 WOT and 2300 (or 2350, can't remember exactly). I can only get about 2300 at WOT and that is about 16 to 17kt's (in good seas). I cruise at 2100 at 14 to 15 kts. I was wondering what any of you 36C onwers are getting on...

Reading other posts regarding toilets has got me thinking about my plans on the No Hurry. It will be a while before I get to this project, but it's never too early to plan and research. Anyway, the existing system did not have a holding tank, just overboard discharge. I don't know if holding...

Well I told you guys about my new project a few weeks ago. I thought I would give you an update. 1972 36C project boat! I got it in the boat yard about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have been working on it a few hours each night and on the weekends. So far, I have pulled the heat exchangers and took them...

I've been lurking on this site for about six weeks now. It really helped me decide that an older Hatt was the boat for me. I really enjoy refitting boats to my personal tastes, so I knew I wanted a fixer upper. I found a 1972 36C that met my budget and equipment requirements. I've owned...
