    Ocean Alexander Quality

    I’ve had a 53 Selene and am now looking into a Ocean Alexander. Is the OA a value boat or a really good build?

    Looking to buy

    Ok folks, and you armchair admiral’s, let me try this again and be more specific. I am a prior owner of a Selene 53 and Offshore 54. My goal is to buy something like a Nordhavn or Selene, but larger. Now before taking another beating I think the maximum length overall should be no more than...

    I am boatless and ready to fix the problem. My desire is something over 60' in a trawler with pilot house. Single engine, hydraulic thrusters, etc.

    Sold My Selene & Need Another One, or Nordhavn

    I sold my Selene 53 a couple of years ago and am in the market for a new to me boat of equal or better quality. Size does matter, and prefer something in the 60'+ range. I'm not opposed to Nordhavn either, but have thought about the many steel boats of the same pilot house design. Anybody...

    Pulling Props in the Water

    I’m looking for someone to pull the props on my trawler and have them balanced. I’m getting vibrations that should be greatly reduced by the balancing. It’s a new to me Offshore 54 Trawler.

    Offshore 54

    I have sold my Selene 53 and am considering a Offhore 54’ circa 2003. Any comments are appreciated. I’m looking for recommendations to resolve what I consider as a step down in quality. The Offshore does offer twin CAT’s which will give 18+ knots when needed. Will I ever use that extra speed...

    Offshore Trawlers

    I'm looking for some feedback on the build quality and reputation of the Offshore Trawlers. In particular the early 2000's build. Any help is welcome. Yes, this time I'm looking for advice. LOL

    Post for boat wanted

    I don't remember how long ago I joined the forum, but let's say it's been close to a decade. I have posted answers to questions as best as I know how. I have participated at what I consider a "helpful" level for all of my colleagues on this site. I have been in boating since '75 and have bought...

    Nordhavn, Selene, Fleming or Defever Wanted

    I have sold my Selene 53 built in '04 and am looking for a replacement. I'm not interested in overpriced offers but am in a cash position and can move fast with a simple hull survey and engine oil analysis. If you are looking to "sell" (not what will my boat fetch) please contact me. John

    Bonding

    The images show the bonding strip on both sides of our boat. My concern is the port side looks like it’s been damaged, maybe by stuff stored in the lazarrette slamming against it. The zincs appear to be doing their job and have been replaced once by myself since buying the boat. It has spent at...

    Comments Please

    I’m having an issue with a minus reading on my 24 volt panel. Could this be a related issue to corrosion on my grounding buss? Help.

    24 Volt Displaying weird amp readings

    My Selene 53 is having an electrical issue. Looking at the breaker panel it shows the amp meter bouncing from a plus 15 amps or so to a fluctuating minus. -136.6 is an example. Thoughts.

    1st trip to the Bahamas

    We are headed to Eluethera in August from Miami. I have electronic and paper charts up the wazoo, but some experienced voyagers information will help. We draw 5'7" and want to be sure our routing is deep enough. SUGGESTIONS.

    Hardtop Lights

    I am installing a hardtop on my Selene 53 and need recommendations for lighting to be recessed into the bottom of it. I figured 4 LED white and 2 LED red. Any brand I should look for? Which size?

    Gaulding Cay Bahamas

    There is a entry from the ocean that is south of Goulding Cay Eleuthera. Is this navigable? I’m looking to turn north about a 1/4 mile from there to anchor off Pigeon Cay.

    13' Dinghy Placement on my Selene 53

    I have a Selene 53 with a dinghy on the top deck. The boat is being painted and I was thinking their has to be a better place than up top to place the dinghy. My idea was to turn the top deck into a sun deck instead of creating clutter with the dink up there. I can leave the hoist in place since...

    Tundra Refrigerator Replacement

    I have a 2004 Selene 53' which needs a new refrigerator. It currently has a Tundra 120/24 volt RV refrigerator. What can fill the space with a traditional refrigerator?

    Thruster Stopping

    I have Sidepower bow and stern thrusters on a full keel Selene 53' trawler. The bow is used most often but the duration that it can run is unnerving. In about 1 1/2 minutes it will cut out from heat generated while using it. My thinking is since it is either fully on, or fully off their is a...
