So while checking the fluids on the mains with a beer In hand, I started to wonder if it is even possible to quiet the detroits down some. Although I have become accustomed to the greyhound bus sound over the years, I wonder if it's possible to enclose the mains with a generator enclosure style...

Here's a few enjoy. M

Well, after pulling my hair out trying to find the leak at the floor of the companion way wall next to the master shower, I am now forced to cut the floor and inspect the shower drain. I need the exact location of the hatch so I can cut an access panel .If you can, please include pictures to...

I think it looks beautiful! There are some traditional touches with this new model. Hopefully this trend will eventually turn Hatteras back to more traditional lines while improving on the modern. Also, I hope it trickles down to smaller yachts. Hopefully, when I trade my 1972 58yf in about...

I've been figuring out where the source of the leak is coming from. The passage way sole next to the wall of the master shower is completely damaged and needs replacing. I removed the access hatch located inside the shower to further search for the source. To my horror, it appears that the...

I must say that I'm kind of torn between traditional, nostalgic mono hull racing and these cool, fast and technological marvels. They are amazing and the speeds are mind blowing! But still, I remember "stars and Stripes" when I was a kid. Sigh.. Here is some video of these amazing flying boats...

We had a weekend of pure happiness and pleasure on our boat despite the windy conditions and rolly bay. But it was almost spoiled in less than 2 minutes! Returning back to the marina, we crossed the bay in choppy beam seas conditions. Combined with boat traffic wake, it made for a rough ride...

I've been looking for an oven that would fit under our glass top range. I do not need a large oven but rather a smaller one. Currently the cabinet under the range top stores some pots and pans so I consider it wasted space. I could just as easily store the pots and pans in the oven when not in...

Yes you read the price right. I need to sell my 1997 Nautica RIB with a 35hp Jonson outboard (runs good) trailer included. For 1997 RIB, she's not perfect but priced right for someone to make perfect. Boat located in Miami. Making room for the new Whaler! PM me Mario

Looks like the captain and a crew member when down with the ship. Our thoughts with all the families of the lost crew members. Bad idea trying to save this boat at sea????? what say you. Here's he story...

Sad to report that Astronaut Neil Armstrong died at the age of 82. Very sad. Armstrong was my hero. I'll ring three bells this evening at sunset in his honor.

Thanks to a forum member of whom I bought a water maker last year, I must say it has been awesome! for those of you that think a watermaker is a pain in the ass, let me tell you that it has been a god send for us. Our water usage has always been sky high. Ask Pascal or Angela and EdGaito and...

The Crusair AC in our master room stopped cooling. the green cool light would light up but the compressor would not engage. after replacing capacitors and checking every wire including behind the breaker panel, I figured the problem had to be inside the logic box for the smx control. Well I...

Teaches him a lesson for not asking the captain if he could help.... "A California man has pleaded guilty to dropping an anchor on a Tampa-bound cruise ship. Federal prosecutors in Tampa said Friday that 45-year-old Rick Ehlert pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to damage a maritime...

Thanks to Seabrooke I found this 40 min movie on a full repower including generator on a 53MY. This is by far the best documented movie production I Have ever seen! the sea trial at the end is awesome and shows the 53MY hauling butt. they claim 24.7 kts WOT This is a must see and well worth...
