Re: What are your thoughts on this hull design?

A race boat is not suitable for blue water sailing. You will hate it. If you want to get there faster, buy a power boat. Look for something with a fuller keel and actually designed to handle foul...

Re: Checking for water in fuel

On second look there appears to be some residue - as mentioned above, drain it out and keep sailing.

Re: Checking for water in fuel

It will layer at the bottom of the clear bowl or will show a milky like fluid. Your fuel looks fine.

Re: Exhaust Riser: quick fix and permanent fix options

I have read numerous threads where universal engines have been outfitted with cast iron elbows that have been rigged to take the water mix into the exhaust stream. They fail prematurely. My...

Re: Biodiesel compatibly

Pure biodiesel has a very high acid number so is unstable in terms of ability to remain in storage for any length of time. Degraded biodiesel has a black honey like consistency and is relatively...

Re: How do I keep track of my refit

Use a wire brush and power grinder to get the curved area. I created a working spreadsheet for my refit as well - I would create separate sheets in a book to track receipts for each segment of your...

Re: Hurst Transmission Rebuild

The transmission was slow to engage in forward gear. I bought this boat fall 2015 and refit it to launch spring 2016. You can find my work in Facebook - just search for Tartan 33.

Re: Replacement Engine for Universal 5424

I don't know what kind of budget you have but it may not be worth rebuilding the Universal if you can afford to refit with a new engine. I say BETA as they are not electronic control and still...
