The bargains are right here in the US. Classic SF market has tanked. Plus it has Detroits. Worth even less. Use that to your advantage and look for a well cared for boat attached to a realistic seller. Might even find a repowered one cheap. You can buy one here cheaper than the shipping cost of...

Brochures were gold. There was one on my 26 Trojan that included the F44 SF (only 5 built, I did not know it at the time) but man when I saw those lines I was hooked. I need that some day. Did a bit better with classic Hatt's. In my mind I own the best 46 SF ever built. Love classic go fast...

Thanks for the replies. Now I have 2 choices.

Once again I will be replacing my blankets on port side after exhaust leaks are addressed. Rather than run this through the mechanic I am going to DIY. Didn't come up with much searching online. Maybe I am using the wrong wording.

$1M in a lot of marinas in Florida

Bet it can be spliced. Contact Scott Bickwid for advice.

“He was forever hauling that boat out because he'd touch bottom and need to have one of them fixed, and none of the divers around here wanted to change them in the water.” In case anyone in FL ever needs a contact for big wheels to be changed in the water I have one. Former Navy diver. Does all...

It is a hell of a lot of work and $ to get a good boat up to standards. To start upside down it needs to be near or at free by a seller who understands. Bought mine from a great mechanic who had few years of issues. Certainly not his fault but took time and since I hire out much $. Time is the...

Third for Wayne at Anclote.

HA! the 350 HP was a joke. 735's in a boat like that is just a simple cruiser. Need a broker to work with underwriting when underwriting is getting it all wrong. It will work out.

Probably the 3900 hour engine is being looked at as about to blow but it could be in perfect running condition. Buyers can be weird like that. If everything else has check marks checked and its clean could be worth it if everything else is nice. We spent more on upgrades on Esperanza over the...

Thought you had 350HP naturals. Seriously, find a different agency to get it quoted properly through underwriting. Its a MY, not a go fast. My 46 is through StateFarm and they know that at 1300HP it's just a cruising boat. A slug in fact by todays standards.

I got 2 DM's from Rustybucket sent in 2021 that just showed up today. Think his rebuild is already done!

Upgrading our anchoring setup to compliment the awesome 70 pound Delta anchor we put on for the Bahamas. Added 92' of chain and will be purchasing a bridal. With our shower built into the V of the boat I have great access to install backing plates for the 12" cleat on the deck and the 6" chock...

Yep, Clearwater Yacht club. Was never ever interested in anything like it but new boating friends (over the course of a few years) assured us the “Thurston Howell the 3rd” deal was a thing of the past and things are more casual. So we went in for the weekends in Clearwater plus the reciprocity...

Last year before run to Bahamas I decide with 40 hours on the 2024 oil change it can't hurt to pull out 5 gallons a side and replace with fresh oil. Didn't look at the blue pails of 400 that they said were 100. So I ran 80 hours with the high ash oil. Didn't notice any change in oil consumption...

Friend is selling his boat that he bought at the wrong time in his life. Then he moved off of the water. Can be found by searching for 48 Hatteras for sale. In Madeira Beach FL. Has Detroit 8-92's and run clear after a few seconds on a cold start. Clean inside and out. Engine room could use some...

How hard to change other than wrestling with pump mounted under a stair? Really other than tips my big question is I have a couple on the boat that were on board in 2018 when I bought it. Are they worth using or do I need new? Scott, can you help when over for the other stuff? I’m pretty bad...

Anyone have a set? Need to ID some abandoned conductors in the harness going up to the bridge to reuse for 12V feed. Also at some point I lost one of the battery feeds to the electric panel switch. Incoming feeds are labeled 192 and 193 but not seeing those in the ER. I had these at one point...

Hey Seven, thanks!😎👍
