While hoping the date of the need doesn't arrive soon (despite the use), I'm really a bit stumped right now as to whether or not I'd rebuild...
That's radical. Fun if at sea. Run her to Bimini for lunch.
As far as CAT agreeing, try to get something in writing. Protect that warranty. Two plumbs that I always oversize: raw water and fuel. One...
Yes, because if you immediately walk away the event never occurred. There is no spoon. There is no damage. The power of denial.
M5 is presently limited to one set of channels in Eleuthera, DirecTV. Can only pick up news channels in the mid-high 300's. Most other typical...
Thanks, and wow. I woulda thunk a pilot team would handle all of these. Reminds me of that Boatniks movie...
I put a 53c with modern power through waters and at speeds that would have broken a lot of boats. That big ugly keel fought with my fuel budget...
You have to have the draft due to mass and headroom, center of motion, etc...all by design and gravity. The difference, to me in my most simple...
Exactly. It's a trade off, as I see it. Hatteras was originally designed for sea conditions. You get the ride and the safety in exchange for...
Boat Show move in...ok, not that makes a ton of sense as to the tight conditions and numerous hands with fenders on most quarters. But in that...
Probably correct regarding the flag. I don't see anyone else flying colors, and I think I see a US flag in the background on a distant pole. Just...
Well, the event appears to be in the Bahamas given the flags flying.
The 316ss flat stock was more or less in a roll, like a very stiff tape. I just rolled it out, cut it to length, stopped it just short of the...
When I rebuilt my Hatt 53c, I replaced the stainless rub rail throughout. As I installed it, bedded it not place, I drilled and set a length of...
Sort of looks like he may have originated from a side tie to the blue hull, tried to back off of her (why??), and then struck the dock behind him,...
Clearly this is the fault of the guy in the blow boat.
It's as if every single move he made was the exact opposite of what he should have done. Don't know whether to cringe or take a bat to the guy at...
I would think there was at least one "excuse me. pardon me." in there...
No, the sandpaper will bring them back. A ton of effort, but cutting the sandpaper into long 2" strips and doing the work on the dock makes it...
Agreed. All depends on the level of impact of this oxidation, though. I guess that was the core of my response. I always used Flitz, but my...
