Nailed it, whether or not people wish to know it.

Kevin, Not touching this again with a 10' pole! lol. The boat is still there in the yard so others who care more than me, can go answer how thick or thin it is themselves. It's been there for several years now. So it's definitely not back in service. >>>>>Anyway, I live over in Longboat Key...

Today I went up to Ft. Lauderdale, and lo, and behold said vessel IS still sitting there in the Marina Mile Boat Yard. They've just moved her off to the corner under the tree's. So for all who have an interest and wish to see her with their own eyes, she's still there. And indeed I did go to...

Didn't she post that her plans had changed and was no longer looking at boats? That's what I read. Although the 1990 Terrebonne 75 Long Range Cruiser above floats MY boat, but even if free, (like Ink Printers should be!) filling her with fuel is best left to somebody with a huge trust fund and a...

True that. And even worse? When you have to be paid to ride one. Literally. After one expertly threw me into a pile of rocks, I remembered her owners saying "really? Usually we have to pay people to ride her". It was good the first hour! But the horse won. Ran full gallop across a beautiful...

You're on Key Biscayne, I'm in N. Miami. Why don't we both go up to Marina Mile Boat Yard together, and ask the manager? It's been several years, and I would love to hear the definitive story with (another) witness again. Maybe they'll have photos? It was there quite awhile. While looking for...

http://www.amazon.com/Haier-Portable-Conditioner-8000-CPRB08XCJ/product-reviews/B0037UVHZM Many business's down here have them in area's where you don't need central AC's to be cooling area's not occupied. I have one in a bedroom-ice cold. I bought two at Brands Mart. HAIER is the name...

Dishwasher and KISS don't seem to equate. The less pumps, the better. The less dish's, pots, and pans the better. Good deep double sink. Gravity fed water even better. The more things you have to go wrong, the more things you have that can go wrong. Most everybody I talk to say they wish their...

oh yeah, I see. One t too many. Hazards of typing on a phone. Can't blame cocktail hour unfortunately.

One would hope!! Simpler the better IMHO. With the advent of these new evaporator AC units that only have an exhaust hose, now one can place one of these powerful, cold units in a cabinet, which eliminate the ugliness and height of a RV type AC, which was previously the only alternative to...

I think I can safely say that this boat has some corrosion issues? Also noticed that no "composite desk jockey engineers" actually work in boat yards repairing boats.

Like this one? This yacht was in bristol condition!!

All I know is that "modern and with it" is always very soon passe, while classic is timeless.

I indeed said it was "thin". It looks thin to me. You're absolutely correct about a boat not having to be heavy to be strong, BUT we (me, yard manager, & some buddies of mine) were questioning where the weight of this boat is at, IF the hulls not thick? As far as passage making. I recently sold...

2009. At the yard across from Marine Liquidators in Ft. Lauderdale. Harry Schoels old yard. I just happened to be driving through to look at some repo's they had stored there- and saw this, stopped took photos- yard manager came out to ask me why. I told him "not a lawyer" gave him a business...

How could you go wrong?! Sorta like owning a Rolls Royce, it doesn't have to be new to get you in "the club". Put the owners club plates on the front bumper and gates just OPEN as you drive up. Same thing. If you factor in the actual distances you'll REALLY be cruising, then many realize that...

The OI 41' was a tool for back when I ran charters (at 31-34 yro) from Miami to the Bahamas and Key's mostly with college kids from charters that Nancy from Florida Yacht Charters booked. It was nothing but a 'Checker cab of the sea's' which was perfect due to it's 4' draft, and it's thick...

Not only round, but with a proper rubrail around the whole boat too! Love these boats. Too bad they didn't build that many.

The hull looked thin to us-compared to other boats. That's ALL I was saying. The "how" was not the issue!

It fell off it's jack stands in the yard is what I was told. Plop. The stabilizer acted like a can opener and tore open the side, where I could look in and see the quite a long way in all directions. I think that's what I said.

I had the chance to look into the hull of a Nordhavn 46' that fell off it's jack stands in a Ft. Lauderdale boatyard. What I saw shocked me (and I took photos!)- the entire hull side shattered like a egg shell, where the stabilizers were-it ripped out the hull, so I could stick my head in and...

Not trying to be a smart ass, but if you're in North America, it might behoove you to jump on Priceline.com and take a trip down there first. Look around and draw your own conclusions. They have pretty good Vacation Packages on Priceline. It's certainly cheaper than appearing by boat in person...

There's a 2001 4788 at Portifino Harbour Marina at Clear Lake Texas. Came in from Myrtle Beach. SC a couple of months ago. His previous boat was a 4087. I can't believe OJ is still alive. WHERE? Do you know he was the SORC champion for years- and was known as 'The Mouth of the South' before Ted...

I second this.
