No free lunch here. When someone gets out of prison they get a bill for the hospitality.

Jupiter Inlet claims another one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCiDQ_u-MmQ Good job on the part of the kid. The Craptain, not so much. http://www.tcpalm.com/videos/news/local/martin-county/2017/10/30/video-drone-captured-teen-rescuing-man-boat-sank-jupiter-inlet/107176772/

One helical by itself should do: Full article: http://www.boatus.com/seaworthy/magazine/2014/january/everyday-moorings.asp

Yes, I know the show isn't what it used to be, but it's a good social occasion and a chance to do boat stuff in January. A few of us are planning to meet up for lunch on the 28th. Anybody else going?

My classic JRC fishfinder has been declared DOA. I was hoping someone had an old one kicking around so I can put off the big upgrade and hauling for a tranducer install. Anybody want to clear some junk out of the garage?

Thank you. It was a much more involved project than it looks like. I made covered bezels for the gauges to help protect them out on the open bridge. The replacement arms and knobs are Ongaro stainless. I think the original knobs were Schaefer marine...

Another before and after replacing gauges and control levers. Not as elegant as some of the above, but at least all the gauges work now.

We antenna dependent types have a surprising variety of channels to chose from in the age of digital broadcasting. So tonight I'm watching gameshow reruns on Buzzr and To Tell the Truth has John M. Steele as their guest. Pvt. Steele was a paratrooper who parachuted into France on D Day, missed...

What happened to video embedding? All we get now is a link.

Best Anniversary ever, and the dinner was pretty good too. You really know how to show somebody a good time. BTW, I love the view from your "office".

I know it's not Hatteras related, but Hobie Alter was a true innovator that, among other things, made the coolest blowboats that mere motals could own. It's also a story of a life well lived and a legacy that will ride the wind and waves forever. RIP Hobie. Hobie Alter, Surfboard and Sailboat...

"C" stands for Commercial/Compression ignition and is a diesel rating. "S" stands for Service/Spark ignition. So you're only interested in the one that applies to your engine type. The next letter is for a standard, and they get progressively higher and are backwards compatible. So if your...

Thank you. I posted a picture of it here once, but it didn't get a lot of response. I probably should have done a better job cropping it, but I liked the background too much: Sorry, I don't have a sound file, and I don't know if I'd exactly call it "humming." :rolleyes:

I know I don't need to tell you to make sure you get good quality stuff. Mine started to cr@p out in three seasons. It went from this: To this: Solid color probably would have worked better, but I was very disappointed.

One of my next projects is revamping the AC electrical system on my Series I 36C. Mine is a 1970 which was built before Hatteras had their electrical excrement together. I bought a main electrical panel from another member that came from a later version of the boat. It appears to be set up for...

I'm watching coverage of the White Marlin Open and the camera keeps panning around the weigh-in and there's a nice Series I 36 at the docks every year. Does it belong to a HOF member?

It's the lightning! Was at the yard a few days ago and they had a 24 ft Regulator center console that had been hit. Every piece of electronics was fried, including on the engine. That was an 8 ft VHF antenna, now it's about 5 ft. Part of the charge traveled through the rub rail and actually...

Or as Hatteras' spec sheet referred to it, "Bait and Tackle Box"... $450.00 I have no idea if this one is factory or was added later. So I was wondering if anybody had an original or pictures of one. It needs quite a bit of work, but for now I'm refinishing the doors and trying to decide if...

What Scott said. I think you're misreading what Steve is saying. My hull itself is not cored. The keel has a foam core. It is not solid glass through and through. Here's a pic of exploratory surgury that was done prior to repairing a leaking keel. That white stuff is foam:

I agree. I also see by your homeport that we're neighbors. We should try to cross paths sometime.
