I have a teak Hi/Lo table top free to anyone on the forum if you need it. It's in Central NJ for pick up only. I don't want to bother with packing and shipping which is also why it's free. If interested let me know...first come gets it... Walt

Looking for a set of Morse controls, cables not required since they will probably be a different size from what we need. Twin engines, shifters and throttles . Walt 732-991-5665

I have a set of tools for Scott (Boatsb) in Cocoa Beach, Fl that I need to get to him. Is anyone planning to make the Fl run this fall? Scott is in Cocoa Beach and I'm sure will meet you as you run past his place..... It would be a PITA to pack properly and expensive to ship...... Walt

I have two sealed cases of Diesel Kleen and one sealed case of BioBor plus lots of individual containers. Since I sold my boat, I would like to sell them. If anyone is interested, let me know and make me an offer. I don't know what the stuff is worth today. I don't think shipping costs are...

I have a bunch of things for our boats, including 9 five gal containers of DD motor oil, 7 cases of 4 ea one gal containers of DD motor oil (all 40 wt from a DD dealer), 2 cases of Diesel Kleen, DD fuel filters secondary, a couple of cases of Racors. 2 Micron and 10 Micron as well as a case of...

It is with great sadness that I am reporting that our long time friend and fellow HOFer Bob Kassel has passed away on Saturday April 28, 2018. As some of you know Bob was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. We are all diminished by his passing and he will be missed...... He will be at...

Just received a copy of MarineMax Lifestyles magazine (spring 2018 edition) Naturally it is mostly about boats that they sell but with the winter doldrums here in NJ it helps with the boredom to read just about anything with boat pictures in it. On page 46 there is a picture of a 1978 50'...

I'm looking for a pair of cleats to attach to the transom of my 1982 48 MY. I want them to look like the original cleats used on the boat. Does anyone have some or know where I may get lucky? The deck cleats on my boat now measure 15" but for my purpose I can probably use as small as 12"...

Some years ago on one of my annual trips between NJ and Fla I had occasion to stop at Dataw Island in SC. We borrowed a car from the dock master and went to a restaurant called The Gullah House. Is anyone familiar with it and is it still there? It was a wonderful experience and I am trying to...

I'm planning on taking my 1982 MY down to Bayville (Ocean Gate Yacht Basin) for some "body" work....such as fix small chips in the gunwales and some small scratches followed by an Awlgrip paint job. I looked at a couple of their samples of boats they have recently painted. At the yard was a...

I have a 1982 Series 1 48' MY with the original Hatteras steering system in place. Normally I find that the effort required to turn the wheel is really hard. Yesterday I had the boat out in 100 deg temps bringing her back to my home base slip from a mid season haul out to change zincs, clean...

Is it just me or are the new Hatteras' really looking pretty good? Maybe after looking at so many Nike sneaker boats in the last years, the new Hatteras look is quite refreshing Now if they only made a size that regular folks like most of us can afford......... something between 40 and 50 ft...

Well it seems like the time has come to consider getting rid of my fibreglass 6 step dock steps and buy a "tide rite" type boarding setup. I am fairly familiar with the Marquipt product but I understand that Tracy makes a pretty close copy which is actually superor in some respects. Any...

Something unexpected happened recently with a couple of 5 gal containers of engine oil that I feel should be shared with my fellow HOFers. Some time ago (probably 6 weeks or so), I took 6 pails of new motor oil from my storage container to the boat in order to do an oil change prior to winter...

I just had two of my four air cond systems changed out and have the old equipment. We have two 5,000 btu compressors and two evaps plus the old three knob thermostats available. One system did work but there was a leak (R-22) somewhere in the system and it would leak out within 2 or 3 days...

Well I finally got around to tearing up my foredeck to fix the wet core. It's a mess, but not as bad as I thought. Anyway, I have the GM windlass at my shop and it is available with the foot switch and the relays etc. It is a very large machine in excellent condition, however it does not have...

I have been offered 4 brand new (Not rebuilt) turbos for DD 6-92 engines. My question is what should they be worth and are there various models available for my engines. In other words how do I know they will work on my engines. I am thinking of buying them and keeping them as JIC (just in...

I'm looking to buy a small boat to run around with in Fla during my winter stays. Something around 23 ft + or - a ft or 2. Although I am not a fisherman, I kind of like the looks of the 23 & 24 Wellcraft Coastal or Proline, Key West and many others with the same basic layout. It should be a...

It was an excellent suggestion to revisit old threads. I have noticed a couple already and IMO it sure beats the hell out of some of the nonsense that has been posted here and helped cause hard feelings between some of our valuable members. Of particular interest was the issue of steam out of...

I have a large very heavy Galley Maid Windlass (rope only) that I removed from my 1982 48 MY about 5 years ago and I should sell it. Only problem is I don't gave a clue as to it's value. It looks to be in excellent condition and comes with all parts complete. Anyone interested, please contact...
