The Engine survey on "Slow an' Easy" went well! She topped 21Kts which we were really happy with! (2 kts headwind and slack tide) Both heat exchangers (6-71TI's) are really bad. Does anyone know if there is an exchange program for the heat exchangers? Also does anyone know a good Detroit guy...

Greetings All, I am a Boat US member but I do not have towing (yet). Wondering of the services available which is most cost effective? Thanks, Russ and The Admiral:cool:

In what is beginning to look like a never ending search for a decent boat (At any price other than new). I have found a 1979 43 DC with what appear to have 6-71 TI's. My question is what HP rating would they be? Neither broker or Owner know? Also hour meters have 2800 showing on both motors and...

It appears I may have missed my first choice for a 43 DC. I am now looking at the one in Pt Pleasant,NJ. It has engine troubles with one(read overhaul) and the other has 1800 hours (6-71N's). I am doing this project to be my last boat (It's not that funny!) and I would like it to be as trouble...

Early 70's 43 DCMY with 6-71's. What kind of transmissions is it MOST likely to have????:cool:

I am looking at a 43 DCMYFB with 6-71 naturals. What kind of speed at what RPM's and fuel consumption can I expect. All of this assumes healthy motors,correct props and clean bottom. Many thanks in advance! The knowledge pool on here is incredible!:cool:

I am looking at project boats to complete my way. (yes I know how dumb and expensive this way is) Two of the boats have black mold inside and I need to know how to get rid on it before I move the boat south. Interior is not an issue because it is all going to be replaced. I just need what works...

Has anyone actually used the ICW between north Jersey and Cape May? I am looking at a couple of boats in the NY area and because I won't be familiar with the boat I was thinking the more inside the better. It will be 41-45 in length with a draw of 2.5 to3.5 feet. A cruiser not a sport fish. I...

I am looking for my last boat(no it's not a joke). 60's to 70's twin cabin, tri cabin, DCMY, a cruiser38-48 feet. Sorry guys I do not want a sport fish or a convertable. I would consider a yacht fish. It can be gas or diesel. It can be restored or a project. I am tired of looking at the...

I am new to diesel power in a boat and I am looking at one with 8V53N's. What is the survey process on these? I actually drive a diesel powered pick up and love it. Broker says 3300 Total 700 since OH how can you tell? What kind of service life can you expect if they are used and cared for...

What speed should I expect out of a 48 YF with 8-71's. Both cruise and WOT. Lets assume that there are not issues with the engines and it has correct props. My brother who is a geek found a blog that repower was a must for this boat. Opinions please!:cool:

Any one heard of or know of tank problems due to ethanol with older (65) Hat's? If so has anyone changed (removed and replaced) the tanks in a 41MY with aft stateroom? Many thanks in advance
