Compare them at speed. You have no choice as the 53c isn't going to cruise in the high 20's. Run them both at 18-20 into the teeth of 10 footers...
I know plenty of true gentlemen, going back generations, that carried around a useful quantity of sharp retort. I just don't tolerate snark and...
My apologies for being offended and responding.
An alternative brand, more expensive but available and built for USCG certified distances: https://www.lopolight.com/Product
Yes, there's refuting that, right here. I've been on both, and there isn't a softer ride at speed in big blue than on the 53c. I'll stand behind...
Yes, and you can disconnect the generator from the motor to lighten the load and shrink the dimensions. That galley can quickly become a pretty...
Look, If the heat exchanger is the access portal for salt water, there's a range that the seizure is mild. Lugger is a sleeved engine. The...
The best thing any owner can do for a boat is to use it. Sitting in a garage somewhere is tantamount to operating a non profit museum. Why put a...
No, don't know of any. Just did a quick search. A good brokerage might no of some whisper listings.
Meh, Northern Lights are really good pieces of equipment. With the motor seized from salt water intrusion, likely source would be the heat...

Why should these boats be put into a conditioned garage? Why not cruise them, why not use them? Why is my renovated boat "nothing like a new...
But the 53c didn’t sit at a dock, wasn’t a floating condo, and raised fish as well or better than most new vessels. So what’s your point here?...
You're simply not correct in your perspective. Look, I took a shell remnant of a Hatt 53c and rebuilt it into a modern Carolina fishing machine...
Nah, done properly the refit is still a fraction of the new cost. Not that you can recover the investment from a sale afterwards, but still...
Yes, it was. I remember the protests at the FLIBS that year, lots of angry customers came out to recommend some action by the company.
Just beautiful. So good to see...threads like this make me consider starting over again...
Weight really isn't your challenge with fuel consumption at displacement speed. Light, ok, easy to get moving yet easy to stop. Heavy, takes a...
If that then Sams?
On our overnights there is a head count for PFD's on the Bridge as well as Pilot House no matter the conditions. It's just too easy to do this right.
