Maybe you loopers can answer this question. Which is a shorter trip? Minneapolis to South Florida. Lakes to the coast? or Mississippi? Approx how many days? Or would shipping a 40-45 footer from up there be cheaper and easier? I could sure use some input on this one.

Hey JLR...was this your boat I spotted at Sea Spray the other day? I'm helping a friend on his 76 Lazzara YOLO thru mid July. We're docked at Conch Inn Marina at Marsh Harbor. And the rates are fairly reasonable here. 75 cents for dockage. $125 a week for water and a surprisingly low (for the...

I looked at this little marvel for quite a while...so wishing I was a little kid again! Every little detail was perfection. Built by a company called Crusse'n Classics in the 704 area code. I'm told there is an order backlog on these. I thought the quality far eclipsed the $15,000 price tag...

The always excellent Palm Beach International Boat Show turned into one heck of a Wet T-Shirt Contest last Thursday! The winds howled Friday and Saturday...but so what...It was a great show anyway! On Saturday, I ventured cautiously up into the Florida Bible Belt for the annual Sunnyland...

Here's the forecast for the Palm Beach Show...Friday Saturday and Sunday should be breezy and near perfect!

Down at the marina I hang out at, Murelles in Lantana, a handful of slips have just opened up as a few owners there are taking boats north to stay. 3 of the open slips will hold a 40 footer. Only $12.50 a foot per month. (Annual). Cheap for around here. Direct Intracoastal. Full Service...

Reminder everyone. Getting closer to the Palm Beach International Boat Show. Thursday March 23rd through Sunday March 26, 2017. Palm Beach happens to be my favorite of all 3 South Florida boat shows. All of the highlights of the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale shows, combined into one central...

Even though the new Hatteras 70 is available with an on-deck master arrangement instead of the "Country Kitchen"...the lower deck master layout felt VERY comfortable... I'm a boat guy...and I thought the new Hatteras 70 is unquestionably the best in it's class, in every respect. I'm not just...

More looks inside the New Hatteras 70 Motor Yacht... The placement and overall design of the "County Kitchen" dining area kicks every other design to the curb... Everywhere you looked...it was Hatteras Quality throughout.

At Yachts Miami Beach, I finally got the opportunity to step aboard the New Hatteras 70 Motor Yacht. WOW! WOW! Double WOW!! If you carefully study the profile model below, Hatteras did EVERYTHING RIGHT! And I do mean EVERYTHING! From functional overall design to the fully functional aft...

I have seen photos on the forum gallery regarding aft deck stairway installation to replace the flybridge ladder on Hatteras Motor Yacht Models. Do you think I could located them? I saw a wonderful installation on the aft deck of a 56MY. Anyone know the image?

(Been having trouble with uploading photos). If this works here are a couple of more pics from Saturday. They include a pretty sturdy looking staircase installed on a 74 Hatteras Day Charter boat. Photo 2 is another dangerous example of South Florida style "distracted" boating in February...

More pre show pictures The Virginia Key site is excellent for the new boat displays, with views of the Miami skyline that are incredible! Aside from that., Saturday was another frigid mid winter February day in South Florida. It only got up to 80 degrees. I was amazed at how many people were...

I just wanted to point out that everything looks in place to start moving boats in for the Miami Boat Show starting Thursday February 16th. I was fortunate to be down in that area yesterday 2/4.

OK...now I'm bragging...but I thought her overall condition was a 9-10... She was one special 58 Yacht Fish.. She was pristine in every respect.

Some more...

I re uploaded old PIZZAZ 58 pics to my profile page including... I have almost forgotten how pristine she was...

I was also distressed by how much wallpaper was used throughout the boat to cover the original wood paneling. Some of it was well done. Don't get me wrong, the inside is reasonably clean...just old and tired. I'm more distressed that no effort was made to refinish the trim around the...

Hi BYRESH. I looked at the 58 LRC in Lauderdale today. Just a 30 minute look-see. All in all I give her a 5. Way above the "average condition" for a boat that came out of long term use in the Caribbean... According to the guy who has maintained her for several years The engine hours are...

Good Luck with your project SKATER. When I updated the galley on PIZZAZ a few years back, the old Modern Made unit was difficult to remove. If there is any way you can keep that old unit working, stick with it. I too wanted full size appliances, but still wanted to retain the original...
