I'm smart enough to respect others' experience, just wondering to what degree the $1000/ft rule of thumb can be beat into submission! For what...
Ralph, maybe we can compare notes over a beer sometime but, until then, other than not being a DD expert, I can hold my own.

Ralph, I understand it's not ideal but this is the fleet we've got which is why I'm asking. As I understand it, if the engines have been run each...

Thanks for the info Ralph. I've been reading about the engines and keeping a list of what I'm learning but it won't really click until I've got...

550 hp, probably TA's if I had to guess, 1500 hrs each
Hi all, Have been looking at other SF's but a nice Viking popped up that I'm going to go have a look at. Would appreciate suggestions as to...
Thanks, I called and left a message for Patrick this morning.
Would you happen to know if there's a list of hull numbers for the affected boats? I've searched the court documents from the lawsuit but don't...
We've been boat shopping, my wife came up with Porta-Party, not sure it has a future with us but it's kinda funny
