Heck of a story. It was AMF that owned it. I was curious about the hull quality. I heard that Hatteras had a -eriod of years that didn’t live up to its reputation. Perhaps that is wrong information

No but I am now

Curious, I’ve heard Brunswick owned, for a period of time, Hatteras back in the day. Does anyone know what years?

I’m under the same belief. I’ve used the rail for many years to tie fenders without a problem. The admiral does use the base of the stanchions though

Indoor heated storage does have a drying affect. It sounds like that 74’ had blisters on blisters. Someone else said the warm water and year round being in the water radically speeds up blister formation. Still, I love the idea of cruising down south. It’s hard to beat our summers on Lake...

How do you like soloing? Tough at the dock?

Acme # 4612 --- 40.00 X 61.00 VR5B 2.50 .045Cup, .95 DAR, 7.5” hub length Acme # 4613 --- 40.00 X 61.00 VL5B 2.50 .045Cup, .95 DAR, 7.5” hub length It also depends upon the step ratio of the trans. There will be a metal plate attached to the trans with that ratio. Mine is 1:4.35 Also the above...

I suppose there is the thought that hydrolysis can weaken metal over time but unless you can see pitting I’m not sure this would be the case. Once again I recommend asking an expert. Probably have them scanned by a prop shop just for peace of mind. Cheap insurance. Also if you have kept the...

I am some that has been through this. I believe in DIY but after watching the guys that blasted repaired and painted my bottom …….no thanks. No matter the cost lol

I might be wrong but I believe the cells in a battery are connected both in series and in parallel. If they were only connected in series a cell might not charge to full capacity if its neighboring cells reach peak charge before it does. Connecting in both series and parallel addresses this...

It sounds like he would love to sell you a new set of props. Props should probably be scanned and balanced over the years but as for old age? I’m not sure I believe that. Look at the hubs of your props and see if they are cracked. Look and see if there is any damage anywhere. When I was involved...

Thanks

Curious what recommendations for bottom paint? Fresh water

Really like this new forum. Good job! Why is everybody titled as a New Member?

on to the next challenge. The marina just did a preliminary look at the hull. It seems I have several blisters forming on the transom. They are recommending a grinding and a flushing as well as a hull rebuild for next winter. Good lord old boats are expensive! Repairs, upgrades, new electronics...

5 months and $67,000 later, I have new props and my port engine has been completely rebuilt. This was an expensive winter. Michigan Shore Marine did the work .

I finally dug these out of the barn. Believe it or not I have two sets of these Trick Davits. Make a fair offer.
