The Admiral and I have decided to move up to a larger boat and it looks like an older three stateroom model 53c might be in our future. I spoke with an owner yesterday about his boat which is for sale, it's equipped with 12v71n's and he claims a 20mph cruise @ 40gph and a top end of 25mph. Why...
Saw it yesterday while out on the whaler, burnt to a crisp and doused with a fire hose yet she refuses to sink. Maybe someone here more crafty with the site controls can post a link. Tcpalm.com
Years ago I was told by a Bahamas Customs agent that tenders of 17' or less were included in the mothership's paperwork and didn't require separate clearance but I haven't been able to find it anywhere in print. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I've been visiting the Abacos for years and think we might try a new destination this summer. Looks like there's lots of places to skiff around beaching etc and I'm looking for marina recommendations. Trying to avoid the stuck up high dollar docks, any ideas?
I'm upgrading, for sale is a 64 G iPad 3 w/AT&T cellular and lifeproof case. I used it on my bridge for backup nav, weather, remote wireless camera viewing, etc. $295 plus shipping. Mike
My boat knifes never seem to be sharp enough so I'm looking for any sharpener recommendations. Nothing worse than trying to filet a fish (and people watching) with a crap dull knife.
I'm thinking of replacing my unit for a smaller one for numerous reasons. I'm the original owner, 10 years old, around 3700hrs with factory sound shield and remote panel. Runs perfect. Thinking $5600, any interest out there? Located Stuart, Fl
I bought this about 1.5 years ago as a sailboat kicker, used it 5 times then sold the boat. It has maybe 1 hr total use, garage kept, and 3 1/2 years factory warranty remaining. Paid $1278 hoping to get $800 if anyone knows someone who can use it. Located in Stuart, FL.
Always lots of good info here so I'm looking for any advice, good/bad/ugly on a new wall oven. I'm leaning towards a 30" Bosch combination top-micro/convection and bottom convection. I've looked at the higher end stuff (Wolf, Viking) but don't see the value for the big $$$ up charge, maybe I'm...
I started looking into hard wired cameras and a waterproof monitor for the bridge when it hit me. Why not buy a nice night vision capable camera or two, plug them into a router and download the wireless monitor app for my iPad? Buy a waterproof case for the iPad if necessary and just set it in...
Over the past ten years I've bought three new Sherwood raw water pumps and rebuilt the rest so many times I've lost track. My last new Sherwood didnt even last one year/50hrs. Does anyone have any experience/feedback on Seamax pumps offered by Tony @ Seaboard Marine?
I have a 1977 series one 36c and recently lost the baffles in my starboard muffler. Before I start crawling around back there or cutting has anyone been down this road and know what the direct replacement muffler is? The boat is a factory diesel model and I would like to have the new one on hand...
We had a fire here at Sailfish Marina in Stuart, FL this morning, this youtube link says it all. The tow boat captain is the hero of the day, probably saved the marina.

Non-stop Honolulu to Teterboro in a Bonanza. 5300 miles, 36 hrs and landed with over an hour of fuel. Loaded 288 chilled gallons and took off 50% over gross. Pretty impressive...
I know this has been discussed in the past but I couldn't find it with a search. I have mechanical Cummins and a few of my analog gauges are on the fritz. I'm looking to upgrade to an all-in-one flat screen system or possibly a MFD to monitor oil pressure, temps, volts, etc. My Floscans read RPM...
I have a friend who purchased a pair of low time RTO's with ZF 220's 2:1 for a Bertram project, he's looking to trade for a pair of 1.5:1 ZF 220's. Any leads would be great. BTW He already checked boatdiesel, and the Bertram 31 websites. Thanks!
