I'm looking to buy a small boat to run around with in Fla during my winter stays. Something around 23 ft + or - a ft or 2. Although I am not a fisherman, I kind of like the looks of the 23 & 24 Wellcraft Coastal or Proline, Key West and many others with the same basic layout. It should be a...

It was an excellent suggestion to revisit old threads. I have noticed a couple already and IMO it sure beats the hell out of some of the nonsense that has been posted here and helped cause hard feelings between some of our valuable members. Of particular interest was the issue of steam out of...

I have a large very heavy Galley Maid Windlass (rope only) that I removed from my 1982 48 MY about 5 years ago and I should sell it. Only problem is I don't gave a clue as to it's value. It looks to be in excellent condition and comes with all parts complete. Anyone interested, please contact...

We fired up my boat (48 Series I 1982 MY) to move it to my regular slip and engaged the stb transmission to start out of the slip. A few seconds later I needed to shift the port into reverse. Aaaak - it's stuck, won't move into forward or reverse. Fairly tight fairway and the bow of the...

Good evening folks, This morning Monica & I made the 3 hour drive from central Jersey to Kent Island, MD to attend the Bay Bridge Boat Show. While this show is in no way near the size of the Fall Annapolis show, it's still generally a good day to spend a few hours to look around. To my great...

A strange situation on my port engine has come to my attention. My Hatt has a pair of 6-92 TA's of unknown HP. The standard 6-92's were listed in the factory brochure as having 435 HP ea. On the spec page of my Hatteras owners manual it lists my engines as "Special High Performance" models so...

I'm looking to ship one of my boats to So Fla and am in need of a yard that can store it on the hard for a month or two while we make her ready to take to her berth in Boca Raton. Anywhere North or South by about 40 miles of Boca will be fine. Walt

One of my friends just yanked 2 6/71 TI's with Capital gears(one and a half to one) from his boat and is installing "new" Cummins remans with new gears. The engines were majored a few years ago.. If any interest, let me know and I will either give him your number or vice versa. One engine is...

A while back I recall some discussion regarding a preperation for the metal underwater components which I think is called Prop Speed. A couple of guys at the boat yard claim to have had wonderful results with it. Does anyone on this forum have any experience or knowledge about the product...

I was at the boat today (in dry dock) to do a few things. It was 50 this afternoon - fantastic for Jan in NJ. When I was kneeling in the passageway near the galley, I noticed a small opening developing at the junction of each "plank". The ends of the planks were installed quite tight against...
