Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds

in every sq foot topsides and 3/16" deep oozing foul liquid. This was in florida 25 years ago

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds

looks like gas engine from controls and no roller furling
no mention of gear or electronics
I'll bet the boat does not look like that now!

seems overpriced

This will teach...

Re: Hylas 44 or pearson 422

worked on a hylas 47 for 2 years and what impressed me were the water tanks.
they were stainless but so thin they could qualify for foil. They were welded with mild steel rod and they actually had...

Re: Pull out services near Isleton, California?

maybe it is time to step back and think about your objectives.
one could probably have the boat moved by a professional mover for not much more than the cost of your trip and scrap the trailer.

Re: Don't push on stanchions! Here's why...

Re: Don't push on stanchions! Here's why...

I have seen the exact stanchions you have snap off at the welds to the base in more than one case. The welds also can corrode, very poor design. You need to adjust your thinking as you have...

Re: Tartan 27 in MI

those engines are problematic and the cost of a replacement should be factored in.
very unlikely to last the trip you are considering plus parts problems.

Re: How Scary is this Rusty Old Steel Boat, really?

the big question is did the ultrasound find the bad spots or did a hammer?
