First time posting photos on Sams, so I hope they turn out appropriate. I will have to post in 2 separate emails since apparently 3 are the limit. You can tell in the photos that I lifted the thresholds to expose the raw edges of the infinity. No fraying after 6 months of constant foot...

Does anyone have experience with this product? A similar product used on our 46C proved to be only moderately accurate. Wintering in Portsmouth, VA this year, and want to be able to pick good weather days for topping off the tank. FWIW, I am looking at the WC2. I can do the math in my head...

One of our rocker switch plate covers for the head was fractured in the process of replacing countertops. I cannot find anywhere to purchase just the face plate cover for these late 80's generation rocker switches. Any ideas? Thank you

KVH worth anything to anyone? We have a KVH 4 and KVH 6 we are not using, will be removing. Portsmouth RI area.

We are booked into Liberty Landing Marina for the week of July 4th. I have most of the tourist stuff already planned for our company...easy ferry across to Manhattan, Big Red Bus around the city, Statue of Liberty tickets, etc.. We will enjoy the 4th from the comfort (and safety!) of our boat...

I am looking for your experienced opinions for the best route and timing (duration of travel) to make the trip from Newport to Nantucket. We are on a 63 ft Viking motor yacht with a 5 ft draft. Cruise about 10 knots. We have Sept 11 and 12 booked at the Nantucket marina. We will have 4 "never...

Has anyone here had any real-world experience with this bilge paint? Danboline http://www.marinemegastore.com/downloads/Danboline_GB.pdf

Taking a swing here, in hopes someone has the answer which Direct TV hasn't been able to provide: As Direct TV transitions all of their HD programming over to KA satellites, what happens to the HD channels I currently get via our KVH TV6 which is KU only? Am I just S.O.L? Its hard to believe...

I greatly value the collective knowledge offered here. I learn something new each and every day. While I am "4th grade" literate (as literate as a non-mechanical, non-hands on girl can be) In regards to DD's and Cat 3208's, I know next to nothing about Volvo Penta's. Specifically The 480...

I see this boat is still on the market and advertised as being in excellent condition, top to bottom. I have already provided full copies of both surveys to the Broker. Both engine and Hull surveys are available to any interested purchasing candidate. all 25 pages of hull survey, and 8 pages...

Has anyone recently laid eyes on either of these in person? Either the one in N.Y, NY or Kent Narrows. I apologize, I've not yet figured out how to post a yachtworld link. We have created a foundation which provides services to members of the military and their families, and this next boat...

Whats the story, Morning Glory? 1984 53ft Hatteras MY with fresh engines? Looks like significant investment has been paid in the last 2 years. Surely someone here has the reliably accurate scoop.

Once AGAIN! First off, let me say a big Thank You to our yacht Broker, Pat Bustle of United. He assisted us in negotiation to purchase a 1988 Californian out of Stuart, FL. I voiced concerns, because it was OBVIOUS in looking at the very beautiful photos on the Yachtworld listing, that they...

Our last boat, a 46 ft Hatt was owned and insured as private party. We are considering structuring this one through an LLC. Since this would require us to go through the process as a commercial entity, anyone have any idea on how this will affect the cost to insure? LLC vs Private owner?

thanks to all who suggested Eric R. (Ski) for the engines and Rob Eberle for the hull surveys. They are scheduled for VERY thorough survey Dec. 3 and 4. She hasn't been out of the water in 3 years, and I am dying of curiosity to see how the bottom looks. I'll keep you posted as we proceed...

Can the collective knowledge and experience here please offer suggestions for a thorough boat and diesel surveyor for the Wilmington NC area? Please don't shun me because I "married" from the wrong side of the tracks, but..... we have a contract on a beauty of a 58 Bertram convertible. She's...

Am I looking with blinders on by not considering boats with MAN's or MTU engines? Benefits, if any? Problems?

Who is this Diesel Don so many of you speak of? Anyone know how I can get hold of him? He is mentioned in so many posts, but I can't find anyone whose really seen him...he must be like Superman...or Big Foot.....

I would love any and all opinions about marinas (and life in general) along the treasure coast. We will be in the area Late October, and are looking for a home purchase as well as a home marina. Although we are still "in-between" boats, I suspect to remedy that shortly with something in the...
