Looks like another one that thought they could just take whoever out. https://www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releases/Article/4051119/coast-guard-terminates-illegal-charter-in-violation-of-active-captain-of-the-po/ Wasn't there a member on here that was giving a class on Chartering?

Another boating season comes to an end. The old girl is tucked away in inside heated storage for the winter. It was another uneventful cruise up to La Crosse, Wis., perfect weather & unbelievable calm water. Saturday morning we ran into a thick fog bank, so we laid up for about 20 minutes...

Hey guys, I don't post much, but I thought maybe some of you might like to see what boating is like for us out in the middle of nowhere, up here in Iowa on the Mississippi. We don't have hurricanes to deal with, but muddy water, a little less than a 7 month season, sometimes high water &...

OK, last fall when we got pulled, we had the blisters blasted off & the boat has been in inside heated storage all winter, so everything is good & dried out. Now is the time for a barrier coat. Our marina is recommending coal tar epoxy rather than a 2 part epoxy barrier coat and bottom paint...

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDHSCG/bulletins/2b6f52b I get a news release of probably 2 or 3 of these a week in my email. Are there that many of these kinds of charters going on in S. Fla.? You would think at the least, word would start getting around this isn't a good idea...

Working on the master stateroom A/C - 12,000 btu. The unit hasn't been cooling as well lately, so I set about to do the annual adding of a small amount of R-22. At this time, it's only cooling the air 17 deg. According to the charging curves in the installation & operation guide, I should be...

When returning to the dock after a cruise last weekend, I did my normal routine, connect the shorepower cord to the boat with the pedestal breaker off, all breakers and selector switch on the panel on the boat off as well. I then turned the pedestal breaker on and proceeded to the boat to turn...

The Coast Guard has been sending out notices of terminating the operation of illegal charters particularly in the southeast Florida area, mainly Ft. Lauderdale and Miami areas. Some under 30 ft pleasurecraft, several poontoons, a 33 footer. All were terminated and cited, all for no COI...

Hi all, OK, we are FINALLY getting ready to make the long journey home with the new to us 58MY that I swear anyone & everyone who did work on it decided to make a career out of it. She was a dock queen for at least a couple of decades, but I think we finally have her in shape for the long trip...

Hello all, I got a call from our engine mechanic today. All long stories aside, the starboard engine has not been run since December of last year. He just completed an overhaul of that engine and was planning on breaking it in today. However, raw water and exhaust will not exit the boat so...

Hi all, going to start on the project of replacing all of the hoses to the heads. I'm hoping this will be the last time I will need to do this, so I don't want to skimp on the quality of hoses. I was going to use wet exhaust/water hose, the flexible kind with wire reinforcement. Either...

After a 2 1/2 year search we closed on the '78 58MY that was in Hilton Head, SC in December. Thanks to everyone who lended their advice, knowledge & opinions in the forums, PM's, and phone calls. These forums are one of the main reasons we were dead set on a Hatteras. We kissed a lot of frogs...

Hi all, since we are looking to move up in size to a Hatteras we are selling our 82 Egg Harbor 40 ft Motoryacht. It is very similar to a 41 DC Hatt, with a little different configuration, full of ribbon striped mahogany, well equipped, and has been in freshwater only since at least 1990. You...

Anyone know anything about this one or been on it? http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1978/Hatteras-58-Motor-Yacht-2986377/Hilton-Head/SC/United-States#.V4fdDdQrLs0 Appears to show very well. Sorry if it's already been mentioned. I did a search and didn't find a thread about it

Hello all, I've been the proud owner of a 1982 40 ft. Egg Harbor MY for 14 years that I was sure they would bury me in. But a little over 1 1/2 years ago we decided we wanted something with more room among other things that a bigger boat offers. I'm pretty dead set on a Hatteras, narrowing our...
