Hello Everyone! Some of you know that I have been a regular 'reader' and 'poster' over the years but have been boat-less since 2001. I grew up on the Great Lakes when I was a younger guy, spending a lot of time 'up north' with my Dad, our family, and our boating friends. I am in the process...

Hello All! I was doing a marina drive-by this past weekend in my town and at the Bluffs Marina in Jupiter, FL I spotted a 53 Hatteras MY - without - the bridge. Can't upload the pics, they are too large, will try to post them soon. I have seen pictures of the 53 EDMY without the bridge which...

Reoccurring Dream – Running the boat for years on no oil change Hello HOF'ers! So we have touched on this before, it's so strange and I need someone to tell me what this means? I have two recurring dreams which are boat related and crop up from time to time... Dream 1: The dream has me on...

FYI Last night a 53 Hatteras YF caught fire at Soverel Harbor (PGA and Prosperity) in Palm Beach Gardens. It was unoccupied and per the news it was "for sale." I didn't see it on YachtWorld though it looked like it had a hydraulic swim platform. It was docked next to a beautiful 58...

Hello Everyone, I just watched Good Morning America, sipping my coffee and listening about the "last" trip of The Delta Queen. What a great boat, part of true American History. Would be a SHAME not to see her on the rivers. Go to this link if you have interest...

HOF Friends, A co-worker of mine has two tickets to the Jimmy Buffett concert this Saturday November 3rd @ the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa, FL and is unable to use them. The tickets are $160 (no wonder Buffett is living on the island of Palm Beach) Make him an offer!! If you are interested in...

I was taking a look at the Hatteras WEB site when I came across this new model: http://www.hatterasyachts.com/56about.cfm I try to be forward thinking however: V-Drives The style - I just can't say it looks like a Hatteras. A Sea Ray, A Silverton but a Hat nope... Glad they are thinking...

Has anyone seen this listing on Yachtworld.com? Says it is a bank repo - anyone know the boat? The Forum does not seem to have many 54 MY owners? I know the layout of this boat, it's a LOT of boat with 4 total staterooms 3 of which have a nice private feel (VIP's)...

Recently I spoke with a boat owner who has a sedan style boat with cockpit engine room entry. The boat owner equipped his engine room with a dehumidifier that he runs non stop when the boat sits at the dock. The boat is stored in FL and is a 2003. He felt that the dehumidifier helped to...

Reading up on Shaft Spurs: http://www.spursmarine.com/index.html Has anyone installed, I see for some applications you need a "spacer" on the transmission? I remember cruising and having problems with a line in the water, having to throw down the hook and do some diving... Any thoughts? Warm...

I saw the thread on soot but thought I would ask for opinions on Walker Fuelseps. From their WEB site: "The FUELSEP® is a "no-maintenance" fuel treatment device that improves the combustion of diesel fuel to burn more completely. Improved combustion means less soot, less noise, lower exhaust...

I am going to throw this out there for comment, I am rather new to this forum and have been blown away with the amount of information we all have regarding the boats we love. I have communicated with Sky and Byron two of our 53 EDMY owners and am kicking off a search for a 53ED (not in a huge...
