I think you're right. So guess it's first trip would be to the East Coast. But she was looking for boatyards in South Florida. But sounds like you're right. Guess time will tell. A lot of people not yet convinced she's going to end up with it.

But if she's going from Mobile to Fort Lauderdale or near, going to need a Captain for that.

And the ad saying "fresh water", unless they just brought it down from the Tennessee River or something.

But that looks like the boat and I think a 63' Hatteras is a great boat. Notice the ad doesn't say what engines either.

BandB, in the listing ad you'll notice two tabs just above the basic info area.
Click on the "View Full Specifications" tab and you'll get a wealth of info.

I do know how to click and under "View Full Specifications" this is all that shows up. Not exactly a wealth of info.

Boat Name
Lady Sadie

Specs
Builder: Hatteras

Dimensions
LOA: 63 ft 0 in
Beam: 18 ft 2 in
Maximum Draft: 5 ft 0 in

Engines
Engine 1:
Engine Brand: Detroit Diesel
Engine/Fuel Type: Diesel

Engine 2:
Engine Brand: Detroit Diesel
Engine/Fuel Type: Diesel

So, nothing about size of engine. No engine hours either by the way. And these are two items on 99% of ads.

My mistake....Duh. Wife spanking me for mental lapse. I'm so used to the Disclaimer being at the end, I just didn't see below it. It's obviously there.

So definitely an LRC, trawler type, reaching little more than hull speed. Twin 325's is not much power for that boat. Yes, I know to some trawler owners it's overpowered but it weighs 92,000 pound and Hatteras offers the 60' MY today with standard of twin 1000's and option of twin 1135's. Does change the quick run back across from Bahamas to Florida coast. Still possible in a 24 hour day or so, but not in a 12-14 hr period of daylight. Now excellent range as the 1170 gallons of fuel is basically what today's 60' has.

However, the requirements to meet the standards of say 100 ton license is cursory at best.
Those with a Maritime Academy background with Unlimited Seagoing qualifications have a more structured mechanical training in addition to the vessel management portion of the curiculum. Those who took the engine room direction as opposed to deck officer qualification have an in depth knowledge and training on mechanical/electrical systems and are very well qualified. While those who went the non-Academy route picked up the knowledge by practice and are not necessarily trained in the specifics of mechanical/electrical/electronic trouble shooting, dignostics or repair work.
Another good reason to quiz potential skippers on their background and experience as well as their qualifications. Phil
More or less what I was getting at. She would get better value out of advise of a maintaince/repair/refit expert at this point and not hape to put a skipper/captain on the payroll until ready to roll.

Not sure why perhaps being Australian don't like the term captain in relatively small vessel configuration preferring skipper.

Cheers

Well, in the US we tend to prefer Captain to represent the holding of a license. Plus she needs one for all the other things she has going on and the planning. When I think of a Captain I think of someone who is knowledgeable and does much more than just skipper the boat. Maybe I've been spoiled by such good ones.

Fair enough.
I am not sure if GG intended to employ a Captain on the payroll from day one to sort out the vessel?

I got the impression she wanted to do a lot of that herself and a refit/main guy when necessary would be best at present.

Besides a top shiny Cap with good refit/grease monkey experience would command top dollar. Too much supposition without GG's input anyway.

Cheers

Yes, just saying she is completely new. Things like equipping it, getting appropriate parts and supplies, planning the Bahamas, looking at storm options. And she intended to take off in it basically a month after taking possession so not as if we're talking much ahead of time.

Obviously without her input we're just guessing and going by her previous posts and her blog. Maybe all those plans have changed. This has been quite a long saga with many twists and turns. Still right now she has two estimates on just one job that needs to be done and no one that we're aware of to help her sort through them or figure out if either is trustworthy.

Don't underestimate the depth of her research and her ability to seek out advise and assistance. Thought she did a good job regarding the exhaust and will make the right decision when the time comes. She is certainly not backward in seeking advise and seems capable of filtering correctly.

No doubt it is a big project.

Cheers.

Thanks for the vote of confidence

I am replacing the risers, for those who are wondering what part of the exhaust. I was advised that that the wet tail system with a glass catch basin was the way to go if I want to avoid potentially destroying the engines. I headed that advice.

My best guess is that the low guy makes the parts for the high guy. As we all know, anytime that you cut out a middle man, you save. I agree that no charge for installation is strange, but he really did get a kick out of me being a female and said that if I was a guy he would charge me. I guess that worked in my favor I'm sure that if I called around and got a couple more estimates, they would vary as well. When I arrive on the scene, even if he has to adjust up for unforeseens, there is so much room compared to the high guy that I will still be better off. Marine exhaust is all this guy does. I think it will be ok.

I'm hoping to have my boat in about a week and a half. The boat will go straight to the exhaust guy before I head to the Bahamas, if things go my way. I will post the details of how it goes. This is a great learning experience for me, in more ways than one.

I am also going to get the boat measured for new galley cabinets while in Florida because there is a lightweight granite company there. I figured better knock that out before I leave and I can install on the return from the Bahamas. But...that's another story.

Not asking who but have you found a captain yet? Or are you going to use a contract captain for the initial trips?

I have a couple of people in mind. One person I met here in Boston. He is a charter and delivery captain and also gives professional instructional on navigation, boat safety etc. at a respectable sailing school here.

The other guy is also a delivery captain and he is VERY familiar with my soon to be boat as he has been working on the boat for a couple of weeks and moved her a couple times on short trips.

That's good to hear. The right captain sure makes life easier, especially when getting started.

I couldn't agree more. I'm being very careful about whom I hire. Has to be someone competent and knowledgeable, but also a gentleman. After all, I will be living with this total stranger for weeks at a time. Definitely don't want to accidentally hire the wrong jerk
