private message? Hey Chuck, I'm not showing any unread PMs. The best way to get me as by email (markvlargeverdicts@gmail.com) or text/phone @ 919 623 2563. I'd ask that you text me first so I'll know to take your call. Thanks! Mark Valentine

who sent me a PM? Thanks to everyone for their input! She's going back in the water in a week or so...when the engines fire up she'll be seriously for sale. Some said "sent you a PM" but I don't know where to find a PM. My email is markvlargeverdicts@gmail.com Again thanks to you all! Mark...

Thanks Charlie!

I have a Kha Shing 40' Trawler which I have spent considerable money on in the last 2 years. The Volvo tama 250C engines are good and have low hours, the stbd water pump has been replaced, the bottom is newly painted and is in great shape. The shafts were trued and the stuffing boxes have been...

Good for you! Congrats!

AC=air conditioning I should have been more clear. If I could run my (semi full sized) fridge, 2-3 lamps (my dome lights run off my batteries) and a box fan, I could survive. I don't suppose there is a way to run the air conditioner w/o a generator is there?

I have a 40' kha shing trawler that 'had' a 7kw generator. My diesel guy says that is no longer the case :-( I rarely used the one I had, but need to have either a new one (ouch) or some sort of inverter set up to do things short of running the AC...any ideas out there? I have twin 250 hp...

too big Unfortunately my diesel guy says it's too big for my purposes...if you run across anything in the 7-8Kw range please let me know. I'm in Beaufort for the summer then back to New Bern

Is your 16kw genny still available? Mark V

seaworthy? What I'm getting at, however clumsily, is this...if I get in a 10-12 foot sea am I likely to get knocked over. I understand trying to avoid it, I understand broadside waves, I get that hitting them at a 45 is optimal. I'd like to hear from anyone who has been in heavy seas in a boat...

I have a Kha Shing 40 and have spent little time with'er offshore. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has knowledge or experience with these boats in rough water. Thanks!

I was getting what I thought was an inordinate amount of water into the forward bilge. I was concerned that I had a leak but when the boat (40' Kha Shing trawler) was hauled I noticed no water leaking out...so I pumped it out and discovered that the aft shower water was draining into the forward...
