WWTS do?

Offer to pay a couple months of his slip rental. If he doesn’t agree ask him if he likes sleeping with the fish

When we bought ours the 3” suction hose had multiple rolls of electrical tape on the fitting that goes on the raw water pump. I had 3” bronze hose barbs brazed to the fitting. I don’t know how it left the factory like this.

Funny that they made the 50 53 and 55 that year.

These would have been 1980 models

Ask and ye shall receive. I’ve got about all the Hatt brochures up to the mid 80’s as a kid the sales guys at the boat show would get one of the ladies to shoo me away from the brochure racks. Meanwhile I was stuffing my bag full. Strictly convertibles though. My’s have never been my thing

Speaking of racors I picked this fuel polisher up over the weekend $300 estate sale the son thought it was an oil changing unit. His dad had a dump truck and construction business. Only thing I can think they used it on Job site storage tanks. I’ve got the boat behind the house and I’m thinking...

Any air leak in the system will cause it the lid gasket is the most likely culprit since many times the wrong seal is included with the kit. I had the packing in my tank selectors valves leak many years ago. The packing gets old and dried out I got the 3 way valves from Sam’s. And it was a...

Sometimes a vacuum leak won’t show up under pressure. Could be a fitting also.

SF have definitely been hammered since Covid. The YOLO people wanted to trade their houses for boats/MY to live the high life. SF are too cramped and mission specific for full time live aboards. We’re still not down to 2008 prices yet though.

Every 80’s Hatteras I’ve been on has them or at least has the round oRings with a million feet of pipe tape wrapped around the Tee handle thread. Send me the box I’ll pay the shipping.

Unless you’re up against a solid concrete sea wall or rafting to another boat balls are stoopid. I constantly see idiots with balls hanging over the side doing nothing while the boat rubs against the pilings. Or they’re popping out on top or getting stuck under a dock. The only time a ball makes...

90% of Racor air leak and loss of prime problems are due to the lid bolt Oring. Most of the older units use a square black oring. The orange oring included with the filter will not work and will leak air into the filter housing. You have to order the correct oring separately. Part# is on the bag...

I made the trip with Randy delivering a 58. Rivers do get morning fog and a cheap radome radar would be fine. We fought a 3-5kt current all the way to Tennessee. I see this guy around town he bought the Jag brand new and has had it ever since never restored. Said he enjoys driving the car so...

Only solution is a check valve I haven’t had luck with flappers debris and corrosion can hold the flap open. Or reduce the hose size to reduce the volume of water it holds.

That was a deal ask 139 and it was an 1985 final year of production had all the improvements. The 55 he’s talking about has an ask of 79

Someone had asked about this boat on here. 79k see the ad pop up on my feed every once in a while. Black Marlin. Wonder what’s the deal. Pics don’t look that bad...

Looks pretty rough.

Saw these for sale on Marketplace for 100k. Cost 50k to make it to 1000 hours? I thought QSM11 was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have a complete pair of 2018 low hr (960) Cummins 715hp engines with gears trolling valve ,shifter, command box ,displays .run perfectly.just had 1000 hrs...

Has to do with barrel length
