I remember discussing this avant garde presentation here.... Looks like someone went for it.

It's what's for lunch.

So, it looked pretty clean and unmolested in the pictures....... Then the day dreaming started. Elderly couple had it for years on the lake. Can't use it anymore, kids hate it, costing money to store, been for sale for years now. I'll just hop in and tell them the ol' girl is going on the...

Happy holidays everyone..... No, I didn't fall off the boat. I seriously side tracked..... traded my fiver, my truck camper and my truck for a diesel pusher..... Then the Equinox went for a Spark (the dinghy) and there's a van in the near future as a rolling tool box. Boat is still on the...

This is very cool.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEDrFiQq1_k

I know some of the members here commit commercial marinating....... (Taking people fishing for money for instance....) I had a six pack at one time, could get it going again. With the charter rates I see out there, I could, possibly, try to help defray some of the cost of owning a PMY (proper...

Warning: <Rant> There's a Bertram on YW.... doesn't matter which one. Description claims: "Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 12V-71N workhorses, with approximately 3800 hours on starboard and 3,700 hours on port which will keep on running long after we are all gone! " So I sent a nice email...

Looks pretty clean..... http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1969/Hatteras-53-Motor-Yacht-2924307/Mt.-Vernon/VA/United-States#.VpkcpVMrJE4

Off the market for a while, now back on. "Interior remodeling....." :confused: Wouldn't want it for half of that. Sad. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1973/Hatteras-53-Motor-Yacht-2901846/Key-West/FL/United-States#.VpkbsVMrJE4

Nice interior, grungy ER and no generator? :confused: Anyone know this one? http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1972/Hatteras-Motor-Yacht-2921425/Little-River/SC/United-States#.VpKfTpMrJE4

I know, not Hatteras related, but I know there's quite a few people here that know trucks... What would this truck have been used for? It has the wet kit, but also has a ring hitch on the front bumper. 155000 original miles on a 2000. Dealer said it was a "gas hauler" but I suspect it may have...

I hope the mods will be OK with this thread in this forum.... (Not quite FSBO) The hunt is getting more serious. If at all possible it will he a Hatt. Don't know why, but I have the bug for these boats. Wife agrees, as long as it's a 53MY or larger..... well larger is not going to happen this...

I've been watching lots of videos of people messing with Detroit Diesels. Very entertaining and frequently informative. The bus crowd is quite hands on. Every time I see one running with the valve cover(s) off I notice that the whole rocker gallery is dry, valves and injectors. Every motor I've...

OK, so there's a few of us "in the hunt" here. There's been some covert references to boats and their surveys...... People visit boats, and report back.... sort of? Is there a mechanism where we can benefit from each others efforts...without getting into each others way? We can save each...

53MY DD Since the sleeves come out, the pistons have to come out, which means you have to get to the bottom of the connecting rod, so I am assuming there's enough room to get under the engine.... Question: Is there enough room to get the crank shaft out and check the upper bearing halves of same?

I know some parts of the 1510's are cored..... Deck, forward top, main cabin top/FB deck and probably all of the cabin sides? Is this correct, and is ANY of the hull cored? I know the bottom isn't, but do the topsides turn cored anywhere below the deck? So far I haven't heard a whole lot of...

Perusing some used/rebuilt engine sites I noticed 8V71's advertised as CW and CCW which I assume means clock wise and counter clock wise. So, the port and starboard engine do not turn in the same direction? I know the props counter rotate and are Left and Right, but I always thought that was...

Out of curiosity, Can the transmission be pulled on a 53 with the boat in the water? IE, is there enough room between the prop and the rudder to move the shaft away from the engine, and then pull and lift the transmission? In fact, looking at the boat porn on YW it looks like the rudder MAY...

There seems to be consensus that the 71 series are pretty stout engines. the 6-71 and 8V71 more so than the Turbos as those tend to have a limited life and is not cheap to replace, not to mention the fact that a failure may do more damage to the engine. I have heard less enthusiasm for the 92...

Assuming no radar arch or green house..... so, to the top of the fly bridge spray shield how much? Asking with the Loop in mind.... (19')
