You gotta love those righteous hippocritts. The law used to be "Innocent until proven guilty". They are not interested in what's best for the country ..... only what's best for themselves and their party. God save us. Walt

It is with great sadness that I am reporting that our long time friend and fellow HOFer Bob Kassel has passed away on Saturday April 28, 2018. As some of you know Bob was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. We are all diminished by his passing and he will be missed...... He will be at...

Seven,,,,,,, You posts are always a bright spot on an otherwise cold winter day.... Thanks Walt

Of course it's the case..can you think of any other reason for pandering to them?

Rusty, I also wanted to be a stand up comedian but everyone kept telling me to sit down....da dump.. you probably get more respect than I did or Rodney did..even as a kid I got no respect, we would play hide and go seek and the other kids wouldn't look for me....... Keep up the humor, it's...

It's actually called cranial rectalitas...... Walt

Jokes? I thought they were all true stories....... Walt

If she wants to cook the bacon dressed like that every morning, who cares what the bacon will do to you......At least you will die with a hugh smile Walt

Just received a copy of MarineMax Lifestyles magazine (spring 2018 edition) Naturally it is mostly about boats that they sell but with the winter doldrums here in NJ it helps with the boredom to read just about anything with boat pictures in it. On page 46 there is a picture of a 1978 50'...

I'm looking for a pair of cleats to attach to the transom of my 1982 48 MY. I want them to look like the original cleats used on the boat. Does anyone have some or know where I may get lucky? The deck cleats on my boat now measure 15" but for my purpose I can probably use as small as 12"...

Some years ago on one of my annual trips between NJ and Fla I had occasion to stop at Dataw Island in SC. We borrowed a car from the dock master and went to a restaurant called The Gullah House. Is anyone familiar with it and is it still there? It was a wonderful experience and I am trying to...

I'm planning on taking my 1982 MY down to Bayville (Ocean Gate Yacht Basin) for some "body" work....such as fix small chips in the gunwales and some small scratches followed by an Awlgrip paint job. I looked at a couple of their samples of boats they have recently painted. At the yard was a...

I have a 1982 Series 1 48' MY with the original Hatteras steering system in place. Normally I find that the effort required to turn the wheel is really hard. Yesterday I had the boat out in 100 deg temps bringing her back to my home base slip from a mid season haul out to change zincs, clean...

Is it just me or are the new Hatteras' really looking pretty good? Maybe after looking at so many Nike sneaker boats in the last years, the new Hatteras look is quite refreshing Now if they only made a size that regular folks like most of us can afford......... something between 40 and 50 ft...

Well it seems like the time has come to consider getting rid of my fibreglass 6 step dock steps and buy a "tide rite" type boarding setup. I am fairly familiar with the Marquipt product but I understand that Tracy makes a pretty close copy which is actually superor in some respects. Any...

Something unexpected happened recently with a couple of 5 gal containers of engine oil that I feel should be shared with my fellow HOFers. Some time ago (probably 6 weeks or so), I took 6 pails of new motor oil from my storage container to the boat in order to do an oil change prior to winter...

I just had two of my four air cond systems changed out and have the old equipment. We have two 5,000 btu compressors and two evaps plus the old three knob thermostats available. One system did work but there was a leak (R-22) somewhere in the system and it would leak out within 2 or 3 days...

Well I finally got around to tearing up my foredeck to fix the wet core. It's a mess, but not as bad as I thought. Anyway, I have the GM windlass at my shop and it is available with the foot switch and the relays etc. It is a very large machine in excellent condition, however it does not have...

I have been offered 4 brand new (Not rebuilt) turbos for DD 6-92 engines. My question is what should they be worth and are there various models available for my engines. In other words how do I know they will work on my engines. I am thinking of buying them and keeping them as JIC (just in...
