I need a good wooden boat surveyor in Seattle - thanks for your help.

Smart cat I knew a guy on a small sailboat who had a large unfixed tomcat. If anchored out near shore the tom would swim ashore for a night on the town. But in the morning he would sit on shore yowling until he rowed ashore and pick him up. Who ever said cars are dumb.

fantastic trip I wish you all the luck on a fantastic trip!!!!!

anchor My boat was a heavy 42' steel boat and my windlass was a Maxwell hydraulic. approaching the anchorage under autopilot I would go to the bow and position the anchor (66# Bruce 200' 1/2" chain) so it was ready to drop. Go back to helm. Note that door right next to helm. when I had reached...

"They said the crew conditions on the South Korean boats were basically slave labor for all but ships officers. " At one time I saw the crew off a Korean fishing boat all lined up on the dock with the captain screaming at them. He the proceeded down the line with them bent over and him hitting...

"I have never understood why he did this with a power boat. He has more rigging on that boat for his stabilizing fins than we ever had on a sailboat. So if he has to play with all that rigging why not do it in a sailboat, save the money for diesel and enjoy the lack of 24/7 engine noise. Just...

Thanks for all your input. It is on a 50 year engine - Gardner. Will take a closer look.

I was more interested in how good was it in operation as compared to others. How solid and dependable. I realize parts may be a problem but will it much need parts?

I am looking at an add for a boat with Capital 2.5 reduction. Does anyone know about these gears? Thanks !!

Do you have dry stack? I had a salt water cooled dry stack and when I left her on the hard for an extended time I removed the impeller and just had someone run the engine until it came up to operating temp. and then shut her down. At one time it was on the hard for a year. Came back put her in...

I am seriously considering trying to equip a Willard 30 for long range cruising. Remove flying bridge and adding 250 gal. of fuel. Any idea what effect that would be on performance and draft. Would this be OK. There are a lot of people here who know these boats and could you please give me your...

55' ferro try this Boat for sale - Port McNiel Shipyard Trawler - 55' hope it works

55' ferro I only know it was for sale then and it was in water. If you are not using it is is much cheaper sitting on the hard than paying for a 60' slip. I have looked all over the net for more information and found nothing. The add is still up for it at $125000.

This boat came on market some years ago at $125000 and I lusted for it then. I love gardner engines and it is such a lovely design. Still out of my price range!!

3 ring piston I am do not know much about 3208 but found this The pistons shown are all three-ring pistons. Caterpillar produced a three-ring piston only for some turbo application but never for a naturally aspirated engine. Instead, two-ring pistons were used in these versions. The...

there is a boat (YW# 1421-2897768) which I like - dry stack, keel cooled, new tanks (750 gal), DD not too fancy, with a very good price, but it was built in 1917. Can wood really last that long and still be good. There is no information as to fasteners, planking history ect. I would just be...
