Now the fun begins. Two pallets arrived this morning with two 36k btu Chillers, 5 air handlers (3 16s and 2 12s), holding tank, pumps, expansion tank, tstats...

I finally got a chance to look inside at that 61 that's for sale in the slip next to me, it is a very nice, very clean and original boat. Certainly worth a look if you re looking for a classic unmolested hatt my...

Just realized I had a bunch of PM, some as old as a year... never saw them, never saw any notifications. I wasn't being rude, I swear :)

Ordering all the hardware to redo the AC system on my 53. Decided to go with flagship marine, out of Stuart FL. Heard good things about them, and all the major components are made in the US. They use off the shelf electrical parts for relays etc... so no expensive boards and components Going...

This is nothing new to the regulars here as Depco has been praised many times. But in all these years today was my first time dealing with them. Couple of weeks ago, we started running a 2009 84 Lazzara skylounge. Boat had surveyed well except for a few minor things including the oil change...

Does anyone have experience with Flagship marine Air Con systems? I m seriously considering upgrading the Air con system to chilled water. All of my air handlers and condensers are now 20 years old or more and I have two bad compressors. The others won't be far behind... The simplicity and...

SCan't believe What I saw today... Walking down the dock, I looked at a fairly new 60MY with a section of rub rail ripped out.. I took a double take, both at the rail and th hatteras logo and just shook my head No other sign of damage, no stress cracks just 6 screws pull out and the SS...

Spotted Fanfare coming in Compass Cay yesterday, passed right by us while the hook... Beautiful sight.

http://www.local10.com/news/boat-crashes-into-rickenbacker-causeway-after-losing-anchor I will refrain from making any comment considering how nowadays you have to be politically correct and hurting someone's feeling is a crime. But ... Seriously ???

I had to run a new bose for the new bilge pump I installed in the genny room and it turned out the port sea chest (galley) was basically unreachable behind the cabinetry... Worst, instead of leaving some access, Hatteras bult the lower cabinet with a vertical frame right in front of the sea...

Today I tackled a long awaiting nasty task... Replacing the long head hose run from teh master head to the holding tank, located under the bow floor. Hose was about 20 years old and it's been giving me warning signs of restrictions. And this is what I found in the genny room, stbd side, by the...

Trying to figure this one out... Over the years the old triple dial air con controls have been upgraded to digital controls using a digital panel (large red numbers and LEDs) with a separate control board housed in a nearby metal box Power from the circuit breaker goes to the control board...

Vosper mini fins I have a set on my 53, they have never worked. I did a quick search on the only lead was quantum stab in FTL a but they no longer service with them At this point I am leaning towards just removing th whole system, unless someone has a lead on servicing. In don't think they re...

Does anyone know the maximum diameter prop that can be installed on a 53MY? Cummmins dealer is doing some calculations to see if 2" shafts are enough for the 450 C series. If I need to increase shaft size (will get new shaft and stuffing boxes anyway) can the struts accommodate larger cut less...

I have started work on the new master stateroom. In short I am combining the master with the midship guest stateroom, and combining both heads and hallway into a larger head. Started by cutting open the back of the master hanging closet, then shortened the guest stwterroom closet by 18" to...

Starting to look into which engine to use for my 53 MY. At this point I have completely eliminated the option of rebuilding the 8V71Ns as the costs will be too close to the factory recon cummins. While i am not interested in selling the boat you never know what may happen in the future and...

Fridge or washer dryer replacement is probably one of the most dreaded maintenance task for 53 and 58 owners because the stairs are just too narrow drastically limiting our options. It really didn't have to be this way, why did hatteras make the stairs so narrow? I've been doing a lot of work...

The moment every galley down Hatteras owner dreads arrived this week: time to extract the fridge... I discovered a few things in the process starting with confirmation that the straight line veneer panel by the stairs wasn't original. Behind it was the original feather veneer. What I don't know...

53 MY refit Just started the work on my 53. First phase started with black granite floor over the aft 6' of the saloon and building the cabinetry for the new galley As mentioned a few weeks ago, this will be a much better layout for us as we spend so much time on the aft deck. Many new boats...

Now that the sailboat is built and the E-type restoration is well underway I can turn my attention to the hatt. Finally. It's going to be a long project, spread over the next couple of of years but after going back and forth between selling as is (aka giving away for almost nothing) and buying...
