Yeah, I'll have to...

RSmith, you mean first offering him two months' rent, and when he says no, offering him ONE months' rent? LOL

Interesting dilemma. You have to live with the boat you choose, I think finding a boat you like is the most important thing.

Has anyone else had difficulty contacting Geico Marine Insurance? I called them today, to get the address for mailing in a check for my boat insurance (they don't put the mailing address on the statement- what's THAT about?) and after nearly an hour on hold on three separate calls, I gave up. I...

What Pascal said. I have two of them, they have been reliable and very useful for keeping an eye on loads etc. Everything I've ever bought from Blue Seas has worked perfectly first time out.

Does Sam's have it? If not, try Buck-Algonquin in Maryland..

One anchor size for all different boat sizes? Maybe Practical Sailor or one of the other boating journals will test it against other anchors.

AwlGrip's Oyster White is pretty close to the later Hatteras Off White color. Since it is a standard AG color, it is not a custom mix and is always available.

Only the 41 convertibles which I think were built in the late 80s or early 90s, perhaps? Some of the early hulls were cored below the waterline and they didn't hold up very well. I think Hatteras might have taken some boats back.

We dried the hull by leaving the boat out of doors in a very windy area for months. I have seen other boats dried by using fans, or tenting and dehumidifiers, but the yard that did the hull way back when felt those weren't required. Their area (Crisfield, MD) is all the time windy, and that did...

I had 3116s which were awful- constant problems. A close friend with a similar 36 Hatteras had 3126s which were similarly awful. I sold my engines and got Cummins; he sold his boat... and replaced it with a 42 Duffy.. with 3208s, which have been very good engines for him. He charters divers out...

Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving Day and weekend, and safe travels if visiting other folks.

NO political posts. There are plenty of places to read and share political items. The HOF is not one of them.

No kidding.

Noted to be taking on water, captain ran it into shallow water (est 10ft), now partly capsized, evidently salvage plan in process. No word yet on why yacht flooded. Flooding preceded captain intentionally running it into shallow water.

I stumbled across this 42 Hatteras convertible, for sale ($69K) in Deltaville, VA, while I was wasting time on Facebook marketplace. DD naturals, so not what you would call fast, but it appears to be a very clean, shed-kept, handsome older boat. I have no dog in the hunt, here, I thought that if...

Within the last year, a local shop installed a Victron battery monitor. (the Xantrex one I had prior stopped working and this is an upgrade from that one) All was well until last winter when I noticed that even with both banks fully charged, the house read full voltage and the aux bank (the...

I have a Jabsco remote bilge pump installed in my boat, plumbed to a strainer which is in the bilge sump. It is the large diaphragm pump, model number 34600, which they haven't made for a while now. It spins, but it is not pumping. I thought the problem was a constriction in the inlet hose, but...

In my FB feed this morning, an ad on BoatTrader for a 50 Hatteras convertible built in the 80s. In the engine room photos, the DDs are labeled "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". (to be sure, they are Detroits and not Caterpillars, but you get the idea)
