Any one know why Jack Sardina also known as Saltshaker, has stopped posting on the forum? It has bee about 2 years since I talked to him. He had a 65 convertalbe similar to mine, and I used to pick his brain on technical issues. I sent him several PM's but no joy. Just curious if any body...

I have a 13 Whaler I restored this year for sale. Too small for my boat, so she needs to go. She is rigged to lift with davit. I have a lot of pics to send if needed. Engine is manual tilt, manual start. Has stator, so electric start can be added. I did not want to mess with a battery...

No joke: I bought a brand new Aqua Force center console flats boat. Took it out that night and she was taking on water. Put back on trailer, crawled under to see the center console screwed down the same way. About 30 screws sticking out of the hull, the pattern of the console. 5200 also...

Floscan fuel metering is out of business. I have a bad guage, and the parts are scarce. I know it is the guage, because I swapped the two. Any body have a best guess on parts, or opinion on new system. I have become dependent on the total fuel burn portion, and they were pretty darn...

Opinions Please from the Fort Pierce Crowd Wanting to re-locate my boat to Ft. Pierce. 65 convertable. Drove down and looked at the City Marina, but they are booked up until spring. Google Earthed Harbour Town and Causeway Island. they looked great from space. I am not picky, just go down...

Previous owner disabled my Water Makers fresh water maker, and installed a Spot Zero water purifier in its place. He did fish the boat a little, but mostly used as a second home. This Spot Zero is a large completed machine, takes up alot of pump room space, and according to the placard...

Anybody have any experience with the portable R2D2 style AC units that have ducted hot air exhaust? I want to try one in my engine room to aid with moisture and hot air. I use my exhaust fans, but they return outside air back in that is humid and salty. A 14,000 btu unit will cool the...

I am taking my boat to Marineland marina and aquarium this coming Memorial Day if any body is interested. This is a nice large Marina with protected slips and offers alot of interesting activities. The Georgia Aquarium bought Marineland, made upgrades, and is right across the street. My kids...

True story. When I was in middle school many years ago in VA. I had some muskrat traps that I ran for my spending money. I always took my shot gun along in case some game jumped. I heard some Canada geese honking way up high coming into a field. Put my shotgun against a fence post to take a...

Many of you will disagree, but I have always liked shopping at West Marine. The ability to walk into any store in the nation for parts to get me back on the water quickly, is worth the added expense. I am too impatient to wait for a mail order package. I have a Port Supply account which gives...

This is probably a question for Scott, but I respect all opinions. I was Given a SEA 222 SSB radio today. A friend stated if I was going to start cruising the Bahamas, I should have one. First, is this a good radio, and is it recommended to have one. I have more than enough room, and because...

My 65 convertible has no rod storage in the boat. There is alot in the bridge, however I chose the open bridge model, so the concern of theft and corrosion is a good enough concern, I leave the rods on beds. Not a problem until time to cruise or raftup, and all has to come back home. My older...

This is my old 41 after I rolled and tipped her, new top and bow rail, and the 3126 cat conversion. Hated to sell her. I thing she is for sale. I will try to find out. Tim

I have seen this discussed on other sites, but dated. I have 7 binders of fishing waypoints, and several older lorans, and furunos in my closet, full of numbers that I have forgotten about. I am sure many are duplicates, and some probably feet from each other. I would like to sit at home in...

Who else has the MTU 8v396 engines in their boat. I have some questions. Thanks, Tim

Some friends an myself are taking our boats to Marineland Marina September 2,3 and 4 for the Labor Day Weekend. There are evening Kayak Tours, as well as Marineland across the street, and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean for surf fishing and swimming. The water will be in the 80's, so comfortable...

Sorry for the delay in response, I was out of town for the weekend. I loaned mine out but it looks like this. I will try to find a link. Tim

My 1985 45c is back on the market on Yacht World if anyone has a friend interested in a great classic. It is a brokered boat, so I am not sure what is allowed to be posted here. She is named Sabbatical in New Smyrna Beach Fl. I can answer questions and show the boat, or contact the broker...
