God I hate to ruin someone’s night like this… But if it was me I’d want to know so I’m posting it. I was just now watching the fox weather channel and this comes on. Looks like a 53MY broke loose, the news reporters said it’s in the area around Siesta Key. Anyone’s boat here...

I am thinking about pulling the trigger on some new Michigan DQX’s, I have done some reading and everybody seems to love them on other boating forums, but none of them are Hatteras owners. It's mostly a lot of sport fish guys. I wanted to see if anybody here has tried them and what your...

I found an exact replacement in size, brightness, and color / quality of the light output for the original cabin light bulbs in these boats. I came across them on Amazon by accident, they are 32v, they’re extremely well made, and they’re cheap too...

My boat has flowscans (thanks previous owner!) so I’ve never had to use the boat’s fuel gauges. The fuel polishing guys are here to clean up the mess from my failed port fuel cooler and get the salt water out of the tank, and can’t get to the tank from the deck fills, I guess it’s not a straight...

My newly-rebuilt engine started smoking, and was still under warranty, so I had the guys back out. They said it was the injectors. There was water in the racor, which he tested and was salt water. Which obviously explains why my injectors are already f*ked. The other engine has no issues, and...

I have a closet light bulb burned out in the master and I meant to bring the old one with me but forgot. I'm traveling for Xmas but wanted to order one. Does anybody know what kind and size of bulb that is? Thanks in advance!

Look who I saw tonight… Mighty fine looking boat, I do believe this is Captain Ralph.

I recently had my engines rebuilt, and ever since then my throttles don't stay where you put them. You push them forward and then as soon as you take your hand off of them they fall back on their own. It's very annoying. I called the mechanic who did the rebuilds, who blamed this on that I need...

What do you guys think? The original wallpaper was kind of crusty and had gotten damaged during some engine work. I got grass paper like the original, but I always hated the white color so I went with a light brown. Sorry in advance for the sideways photos, this website's hosting engine always...

Hi all, I am looking for the wood insert pieces and cushions for the center cut through in the aft bench seat that’s removable to access the swim platform ladder. It’s missing on my boat and I’d really like to have it. If anyone doesn’t use theirs I would like to buy it. Attached is a picture of...

1971 47’ Chris Craft Commander SeaEric suggested I post this here since there seems to be a lot of crossover between Hatt’s and classic Chris-Crafts. This is my old boat that I restored before I bought the Hatteras, and is now for sale because I need two 50’ boats like I need a hole in my head...

Tale of "watch who you let in your engine room". I wrote a little about this in another thread. It's basically impossible to get the marina to do engine service work these days. There is a labor shortage and as soon as they train somebody and send them to school to be a certified tech with cat...

I did do a search (I promise) and all of the threads seem to be people using AGM's, golf cart batteries, etc. Let's say I just wanted to replace them with what's supposed to be there. Is the correct battery the Rolls 8HHG25P?

I'm seriously considering putting a seadoo or something similar up where the dinghy normally goes. My boat has the factory electric davit. I've been shopping around for dinghies but it dawned on me that I can always just tow my whaler when I go to the islands, and that for anything other than...

Looking for an undamaged spare set of the standard 28x31 props.

When I got my boat it had the factory 28x31 props on it and would do 16.5 knots at +-/ 2000 in salt water. I had the engines gone through and the air side of the intercoolers from the looks of it had never been cleaned. Secondary fuel filters were ancient. The timing got adjusted as well as the...

My boat has the original 28x31x4 dyna quad props. I can’t seem to find anything on whether the OEM props have any cup and if so what number? I need to order a spare set, and I also need to reduce pitch on the originals to achieve 2300 rated, and am in need of this information. Because I only...

I am looking seriously at a boat in Virginia, I’m down in florida and the usual suspects are so busy these days that that’s too much of a hike. Who’s a good surveyor in the Norfolk area ? Also if anyone knows a good engine surveyor familiar with Detroits, I would much appreciate the recommendation.
