My wife and I have a 1979 43' double cabin which we left in our home port in Sequim, Washington for the winter. We are currently in the Fort Lauderdale area through December 15 and are looking for a "day trip" with a fellow Hatteras owner to explore water areas we have never seen before. We...

I have a 1979 43' double cabin. The salon windows and frames need to be replaced. My boat is in the Pacific Northwest in the Puget Sound. Has anybody out there had those windows replaced successfully by someone in this area? Thanks in advance for your help.

We own a 1979 43' Double Cabin. There is an overhead light on the hardcover of the lower helm "patio" that does not work. The prior owner says it never worked when he owned the boat either. I've tested the wires and there is no power coming to the light. I have not been able to trace the...
