Yea, I did it again. The newest PIZZAZ is a 41' 1979 Chris Craft Commander. (My second 41). The photo is "after" I hired a commercial driveway cleaning company to bleach and pressure wash 3 years of mold and chalk from the exterior. She was docked 20 miles up river from Ft. Myers. (The...

Hi Y'all A "truly cool" older Hatteras model that always turned my head, was the 38 "Double Cabin" model produced from 1967 thru 1971. There was just something about it... Even more interesting is that Hatteras always referred to the model as the 38 Double Cabin, in spite of the fact it...

I'll try again on the PIX

I know a few of you wondered how anyone could spend $75,000 on a Hatteras Galley. Here are a couple of photos of the finished project from my old 58 Yacht Fish. I do admit to having obsessive/compulsive tendencies. The whole idea was to make it "look" factory original, including the use of...

Hi everyone. My 48 Ocean PIZZAZ is sold. She was purchased by a family from Delray Beach FL. Super nice guy. Delightfully charming wife. I wish them many years of enjoyment!

Hi Y'all I'm seeking input regarding Cummins 6BTA 370hp engines 1999-2000 model, currently with about 1000 hrs. Good? Bad? Indifferent? Reliability? Service Issues? A boat I'm curious about has 'em. I know nothing about them. All opinions appreciated.

Yesterday, broker Frank Gordon told me the 58' 1980 Hatteras Yacht Fish named "MY ANCHOR HOLDS" in Gulf Shores, AL might be bought for $150,000 for quick sale. I'm also told the family has decided to avoid the complexity of donation, and instead use "outright sale" proceeds to donate to their...

First of all, the Mt. Dora Antique Boat Show is this weekend in Mt. Dora, FL. A nice little event. WARNING! If you admire a beautifully varnished wood boat, DO NOT look at this picture before bedtime, as it will certainly induce a nightmare! A friend of mine recently went on an African...

I was at the Palm Beach Show yesterday. No Question. It's bigger and better than ever! Opening day crowds were huge. The weather was better than nice. There was so much to see, I didn't board the "Rum Barge" until almost 5pm! Several Hatteras models were available to see. A 114 Motor...

I wanted to share a quick photo of "HONEY FITZ" as she cruised by this afternoon. For those unfamiliar, HONEY FITZ is a former "Presidential Yacht" that has been lovingly restored over the past several years. HONEY FITZ was built in 1931 by the Defoe Shipbuilding Company of Bay City...

It's less than 2 weeks until SPRING! And less than 2 weeks 'till the start of the Palm Beach International Boat Show! Thursday March 20th through Sunday March 23rd! We must credit Forrest Johnson for the excellent photo of last years event. This year, the in water exhibit alone is expected...

Yes it's almost Spring! Yes the days are getting longer! I just wanted to post the satellite image of Tuesday's Great Lakes Ice Coverage. It's getting close the most ice coverage ever recorded. As a kid growing up in Buffalo, I remember one year when all the boats were launched and rafted...

This is the patio set closed in the cube position.

In my case, it's simply the cumulative effect of way too much partying, and 25 different boats over 40 of the last 60 years! I had congestive heart failure 6 years ago. Aortic stent, the works. I take 4 different things just for my ticker. Please understand that I'm fine. Add Diabetes...

That should cover it. Additional photos are on my profile page in the PIZZAZ album. Worth checking out! Thanks Paul

I've decided to offer my 48 Ocean Motor Yacht PIZZAZ for sale. This PIZZAZ was repowered in 1997 with GM671TIs, (replacing the TIB's) with only 855 original hours since new. Aside from the engine room, she's a standard issue 48 Ocean, but well above average throughout. For the live aboard...
