Not really clear on the question being asked. If the engines are out of the boat, clean them up and palletize them. Don't put them back in....
If it starts, you could try running the unit with a fresh water hose attached to the coils, having the dock provide your cooling water for a few...
If the boat is in an LLC, there should be a boat policy in the name of that LLC to cover the boat and liability, etc. An umbrella policy in your...
Agreed. And the challenges of solo boating (I believe) completely starts with the knowledge and confidence in the vessel itself. A close second...
Three way fitting will allow water you are discharging to flow back through the second pump on your plumbing T or Y. You could do this as a stop...
Cute. Lots of different boats and experiences being discussed here. Plenty here have and do make these trips alone, but all with the caveats of...
This is how I feel as well, and I have no issue with the single handed concept. I choose my routes and weather carefully, and I have lots of Plan...
That's a bit of a harsh perspective given that a displacement trip across to the Bahamas from South Florida is anywhere from 7 to 11 hours,...
Are you certain? See: We have manufacturing facilities in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Italy,...
Thread reminds me of stories from my father who built a small sailboat as a youngster in Miami and would sail with a friend to the Bahamas from...
Look, I can appreciate the art of condescension as much as anyone. But my 250 feet of 1/2" HT chain might weigh a hair more than you're...

I used Rope Inc down in Lauderdale. Their price for 1/2 HT G43 ISO was about 10% less than Maggi, plus they did my set up. Jack Hutchinson...
Recently faced this issue and dropped the chain onto a borrowed work float, then walked that the the bulkhead closest to parking, offloaded-...
My rule of thumb always begins with White is Right. A color change from that is an easy add, but a buyer won't ever walk away from white. They...
Possible path would be to restore the shell and market for a buyer for whom you'd complete the restoration. These are beautiful boats.
I paid $1.66 off the truck for diesel yesterday in NY. If this isn't the season to be racking up hours on the mains, I don't know what is.
I will forever be a huge fan of the old, reliable, mechanical diesels. So incredible the damage done to my C-15 Cats from a non-direct-impact...
Yes, Alligator just north of that last swing bridge, about halfway to the Sound, has that Crazy Ivan in the channel with the double 90 degree...
