This is not a great pic as I clipped it out of a vid. I was running about 20 knots on New Years Day a little over a year ago. Not great for fuel economy but those big Detriots love to sing!

I love this boat. I remember the due diligence process and all the questions. Is this too much boat? Will I find a bunch of issues after I buy it? Will it cost too much to maintain? I had Diesel Don do the engine survey. They came out fine. Yeah, I heard a few rumors. They all turned...

I have Galleymaid systems on the Roamer. They work pretty well. I do need to have the system in the master head reworked. It does not flush as well as the others. I will probably work on something like that when I remodel the master head. I was at the show in Annapolis last week checking...

Hey I'm trying to find the tach pickup so I can get by Port Tachometer working. Where is it located, The manual says that is is a mechanical pickup, by I simply cannot find it. Thanks.

Has anyone else had this? I came back from a run today and shut my port gen down. The hour meter is still running and it will not start now. It seems to think it is still running. My gens are 15kw Onan. 1974 variety. I would at least want to shut off my hour meter. Where can I find what...

Where is a good source for them? I know that there is a type that you don't want to use. I need them for my Galleymaid heads. I did a search but could not find anything.

The 60 footer named Shelley at Lake Guntersville. I came really close to doing a deal on a really nice Hatt but was a day late. I got some valuable feedback from this site and most of the info was good. I did lot's of homework and hired Diesel Don to do the engine survey. All came out fine...

I should probably keep quiet because I am a relative newcomer on the board and don't really know the players here. On the other hand, I do belong to a few other boards. I have seen them get polarized in a bad way by good people arguing over political differences. I am not different. I am...

How much does it cost to have a new headliner professionally installed in a 58'? I have fooled around with this sort of thing in a car and have reached the conclusion that I have no business doing it in a nice boat.

How are they stretched (as in from the factory)? I have seen a number of them that have been sent back to Hatteras and stretched. I have read that the YF is basically a MY with a cockpit added. I have also seen a CPMY with the cockpit stretched for a hot tub. I would imagine from looking at...

I am looking at a few boats now. So far I am liking 53MY-58YF's. I would also throw the 48's into the mix. As the post is titled, I am concerned with day to day slip clearance and not the occasional ducking under a bridge. I have done a few searches and seen responses ranging from "the...

Ok, so I am looking at MY's and CPMY's in the 48-53 foot range as well as one Yatchfish in the 58 foot range. Most of these boats have 8-71's and a couple have 6v92's (one with a little boost). I have spent some time with 8-71's and like them as a powerplant. I don't have any experience with...

I am a newbie here and looking to move up. I bought a 1987 37' Marinette Marquis Aft Cabin as a starter boat. I have considerable time driving bigger boats but nothing larger than a 48' I consider my skills around the dock to be decent and don't find 48's intimidating. I am thinking that 53'...
