For those who may be in the Portsmouth, VA area on Sat., June 13th, we are having a Boaters Flea Market at Tidewater Yacht Marina. The event will run from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

I've got a full tank (300 gal) of fuel that looks like a strawberry milk shake. Took a sample to a fuel polisher working the VA Beach boat show last weekend and his reaction was "that's a train wreck". Looks like we may (probably) have a leaking fuel cooler. Ran the boat at idle for 30...

Happy New Year fellow HOF members! For those of you planning a northbound Spring migration through Norfolk, VA, here is some Coast Guard information that may be important to your travel plans: "Proposed Closures of Elizabeth River for Midtown Tunnel" Elizabeth River, Portsmouth, VA A...

We have a Garmin autopilot that has had some intermittent calibration issues since it was installed. I wonder if it may be related to the location of the electronic compass. This unit is currently mounted on the forward bulkhead of the generator room (beneath galley sole). If there are other...

We'll be in Jax in a couple of weeks and would like to visit some marinas that are open to liveaboards. Any suggestions?

Four days of decorating Southern Comfort for the Hampton VA lighted boat parade and the parade was canceled due to weather! Anyway, we'd like to thank Clark Griswold for the tech support with the lighting scheme. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to our fellow HOF members.

We have always used only one 50A cable to power the boat while in a slip. The only time I can recall having insufficient power was when we had 3-4 of the reverse cycle heaters on and then plugged in both block heaters. I'm curious how other Hatt owners configure their shore power.

12 volt Rule 2000 Gold Series bilge pump. New, never used, in original box, $65 plus shipping.

Looking for 32 volt bilge pump(s), preferable 1500 gph or smaller since it's for a shower sump.

Salon/stateroom fixture....

We just finished 3 grueling weeks of removing bottom paint down to the gel coat (estimate 25 coats of paint) and starting over with four barrier coats and three coats of ABC #3 ablative. She's back in the water now and after a weekend of cleaning up the blast dust and other messes, we're ready...

NEW, never used 2" diameter x 6 ft Aquamet 19 propeller shaft. A couple of very minor surface rust spots where original packing tube was open but otherwise in excellent condition. Asking $700. Located in Portsmouth, VA.

Haven't seen a lot of northbound transient traffic yet, but we wonder if any of the HOF members are currently on the northerly migration? If you overnight in Portsmouth, stop by and say Hi. We're in Slip B-15.

Any HOF members familiar with the MY Hattitude homeported in the Galveston TX area?

Fellow HOF members -- Several of our flybridge gauges (two water temp and at least one of the oil pressure gauges) need to be replaced this Spring. I'm looking for suggestions as to replacing these with mechanical or converting to electronic. I'm clueless about how to go the electronic sensor...

Three years ago we removed the large raw water strainers for our 8v71 engines and replaced these with external Algonquin scoops. We've had zero problems with these hull scoops and freed up considerable space at the rear end of each engine. Fouling of the screens has not been an issue.

A little gee-whiz information from Virginia..... Last Friday we moved our boat from Ocean Marine in Portsmouth, VA to Tidewater Yacht Marina (same city). Some of you have probably stopped here at Tidewater on your Spring or Fall migrations and you may know that the owners, Gordon and Kay...

Anyone on the HOF have access to information (i.e. sales price) on 53-58 ft Hatts actually sold in 2013? Obviously, the advertised price posted on Yachtworld, etc. may be significantly different that the final sale agreement. I'm prepping for a small battle with the city over property tax...

We wish all of our HOF friends a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!
