We replaced the original sofa in our Mainship 390 last week. The sofa is 76 by 29 1/2 and has storage beneath. We replaced it with a Futon Sleeper. It is currently in my Suburban but here is a recent Pic. We travel from Lafayette LA to Orange beach every other week. Any offers?

Does anyone have an opinion about these. I am looking at the model with LED power indicators on the end. Price is abput the same as Hubble. By the way, vote for your choice of date for the Hatteras Rendezvous at The Wharf in Orange Beach AL.

I just discovered the prop shaft on my SidePower thruster has broken at the shear pin on the Port side. Any opinions on whether I will need to haul out or can these be changed in the water? I have already contacted the manufacturer but am curious about what I am facing. In the meantime I am...

I am going to replace my current anchor setup with all chain. How do you measure anchor chain? I understand it is a proof chain. Do you measure inside or outside diameter? I have a Lewmar windlass that retrieves chain fine but requires rope to be pulled into the locker. Thamks, Jimmy

I have followed this forum for a few years and came witin a hair of becoming a Hatteras Owner. This Monday I completed a purchase of a pristine Mainship 390 in Louisiana. We will rename it "Anticipation" and begin the move to The Wharf next week. I posted a few years earlier on the Trawler...

Well I did a sea trial on the 45 I have a contract on. Big Bill and I stayed over after the Rendezvous Monday and ran it. As a refresher it is a 1972 45 with 871-TI's. On a cold start the port engine fired instantly with only a small puff of smoke and idled smoothly. The starboard started a bit...

The search may be over. For those that may not remember, I have been looking for a Live-Aboard for some time now. Big Bill located one in Alabama and He and Captain Tobb looked it over, and as a result I put in an offer. After negotiation I now have a 1972 45 under contract. Gulf Coast...

In my search for my next home I am looking at a number of Hatteras Convertibles with V berths. As this is to be a liveaboard, better sleeping arrangements are necessary. I am looking at Mid 40's to 50 foot and will run hull speed most of the time. I am attempting to stay in the under $100k...

I found this on the Trawler site. Kind of suprising if it is accurate. "For all of you that are mechanically inclined..... Penetrating Oils Compared A study done by Machinist's Workshop magazine in their April 2007 issue looked at different penetrating oils to see which one did the best job...
