I decided to go with a new Nick Jackson, 1000# capacity with power lift and swing. My old pipe-welders with 1200# Golo winch is still available if any one is interested... Here is a sample photo of the new one. Does anyone else have a Nick Jackson set-up? For same capacity it was $14K vs...

The cockpit extension discussion and debate is so interesting. I was searching for info and came across this example that was supposedly completed by Hatteras back at the factory. From the listing: " Hatteras cockpit motor yacht that began life as a 65′, then Hatteras added the 9′ cockpit...

The only data I have is this tag. Sorry, hope it helps...

Just finalized my order for replacing all of the granite on the boat with this lighter weight approach. Went with http://floridadesignworks.info/products/featherstone/ they apparently supply all of the counter tops for new Ocean Alexander. We are taking about 850 lbs out of the boat (exactly...

Here is a pic from when it was still on the boat.

Mine have a separate set of mounts, one on the hull, and one on the gunwale. Here is a photo with the ladder mounted in each location. On floating docks we use the top mount, and on fixed docks we use the hull mount (because the ladder tends to be too short at some high tides). This is why...

Removed from 1977 Hatt 58 MY. As is, where is. Here are some pics. We've used it effectively for the past year with an 850 lb 13' Whaler, but honestly it was a little white knuckle, especially swinging her in over the chocks by myself. I just bought a nickjackson 1200 lb with the hydraulic...

While we are addressing the rudder post, taking advantage of the time in the yard to address the balsa core on the FB.

Decided we would be better off with a 7 step. would sell this 6-step or trade for a 7.

Reviving this old thread from 2007. We're removing the trek that was installed by PO on the aft deck after they had to cut hole for the gyro installs. Is Flexiteak still insanely expensive? at the time of these posts, it was $11K for an average aft deck. Plasteak or other alternatives?

Scott - there does not appear to be a separate sense wire. Here are some pics: Port side (the one I am removing): Interesting that stbd side alternator looks slightly different (maybe vintage)?

Was working around area under the night stand in MSR. Noticed rotting wood in box next to port side rudder post. Plywood at top of box is clearly cracked. It looks like it might be the structural support for the upper section of the rudder post just below the bellcrank assembly. We just got...

Port Engine Alternator showing way over 40 volts at anything above idle. Out in Charlotte Harbor now trying to make it up to Venice for the weekend. This happened once before with this fairly new alternator, it was removed and repaired on warranty. We've put around 100 hours on it with no...

Yes Tony, you are absolutely right. That was the 60 on the left, and the 70 was on the other side of it. Here are a couple more pics. For some reason the uploader is acting up (or my browser is) I'll attempt this and hopefully at least one pic will come thru...

Hey Freeebird, no problem, I appreciate your thoughts. Yes, we did hover behind the MY's for a little while but no one approached us. I used to own an aviation charter business, so I've had some involvement with bigger ticket purchases (so I didn't expect the used car pitch). I was hoping...

Hello, This was on the boat when I bought it, I believe it is circa 2011. I removed and replaced with a newer unit, but it was working great. Has an internal CD slot, AM/FM, and "XM Ready" which means you need to get an external XM tuner to get Sirius. You can plug USB or mini-audio as...

What a shame, we had a great stop there on the way down from Pensacola in December. Hope they can recover as smoothly as they possibly can...

Our 1977 58 MY has had the original split-unit set-up bastardized beyond recognition. Had an AC tech come over a few times to refill refrigerant and the system would work well for a few weeks and then stop cooling. Of course it was a leak but he couldn't pinpoint the location. Finally...

Week before last we went out for a nice 6 hour day-cruise, I noticed the new alternator on the port engine was making 36-37V the entire time. I thought it was supposed to have a high initial charge and then drop off but it stayed up there. I made a note and asked the guys that installed the...

Does anyone else have one of these boxes installed? No other entries popped up on the forum when I searched Sea-Fire. The first box failed right after we bought the boat last year (intermittent alarm sounding at random times for no reason), replaced the box and the second one appears to be...
