Here is a Gulf Star that is over on your side. Might be of interest to you. https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1985/gulfstar-acmy-3504719/?refSource=standard%20listing

Agree that a Hatteras in the range mentioned above would be a very good choice. The Hatteras 53 MY would be an excellent choice. Also a Jefferson 52 would fill your needs very well although I don't know if any are on the west coast now. Check both of them out on Yacht World and you will see what...

Bacchus, do you have a link for the tool that you are talking about? This would make life so much easier if it fits my 6V92 DD. Thanks.

Great news on the generator. Have a great day and hopefully the fog will lift soon.

Good Morning Jeff, Are you going to head out today? Any luck on the generator? Have a great day!

Hi Jeff, Did you make Memphis safe yesterday afternoon?

As far as bottom paint b I get 4 years but I have a diver clean it every month. I would expect you could get 3 years but hope someone has input that is familiar with fresh water and winter pulls. I am in salt to brackish. My bridge clearance is 24.5. Maybe 24 but never tried it. With the arch...

Unfortunately I don't have any build details in documents. I wish I had. I can tell you that she is heavily built. Ours weighs in at about 58500 lbs. on the lift with about 1/3 fuel. If you can tell me where your looking at one? If it is near me I can go through ours with you and show you some...

I just went through the same thing on mine. I have very similar mechanism as you have. They had to drop the rudder and found a small spot of corrosion on the shaft that was causing it to bind below the bearings. Cleaned and welded a tiny spot and I was back to new.

John, be careful on those crutches! When I was 20 years younger I could fly around on the crutches when I had a knee injury. Now at 65, when I injured my ankle last week in prep for the hurricane, I thought I was going to kill myself on those. Be careful on them. Hope its nothing serious and you...

Exhaust port plug

On my last check of the boat before exiting her for the hurricane I opened the engine room door and could hear a very good water spray/run. Long story short one of my dripless cooling line that up the cold water exhaust feed was spilt wide open. It was split way below the waterline. I looked on...
