Give Sailorman in Ft. Lauderdale a holler.

Go to Marinetraffic.com and just look at all the traffic in that stretch!!! Then know there's thousands of oil rigs out there, some active, many not. Either run the Intracoastal or go REAL far offshore and then come in directly from the South.

My site is up and running (independent from YW) if you need something to look at. I have several pages of "old print ads" from the mid 80's -late 90's if you like looking at boat pictures. I try to make it interesting with many links. Who knows you might learn something, at minimum what boats...

Thank you all. Very enlightening. Don't see many down here in Florida. It's odd how buyers in Florida will balk at the price of a fully equipped yacht, but apparently don't think twice about paying as much, if not much more for a similar sized outboard powered center console with zero amenities...

That's a photo of a French owned boat right?

That's funny! I literally laughed out loud!

Question: I know very little about these boats other than what I've read in advertising. I have the opportunity to market a 2006 model 39' twin stateroom with single 380hp QSB Cummins (I like the electronic engines!). They seem rather pricey for their size vs other marques quite larger-much...

There's no college or anything for Yacht Brokers. If one is lucky they trained under a experienced Broker who taught them about boats, but if one is unlucky then it's just them parroting what uneducated non-boaters in the boat sales business told them, without them even understanding (don't even...

Call up Sailorman in Ft. Lauderdale. They might just have one sitting there in inventory, or can point you in the right direction.

When it comes to Hatteras Yachts, the number one guru of all time is Frank Gordon of Frank Gordon Yachts in Ft. Lauderdale (since 1959). Frank has been specializing in these forever and has the most incredible memory of any human I've met. You can cold call him anytime and ask him about any big...

There's a good article in the new (January) issue of Power & Motoryacht about a fellow who customized, and seriously updated a old Mainship 34.

Mare's built some nice Power Cats, but slow they were not! I had the 50' Express running 50 mph, and the 54' flybridge pictured doing 30 mph in heavy sea's. 800hp MANS, which were rather fuel efficient as at low speeds they only ran on 4 cylinders, and more opened up as you trottled up, until...

Here in Florida, it's more usual than not for a boat to have much higher generator hours than the engines. Gens come on before the mains, and are the last to be turned off. Most modern boats have poor natural air circulation-if any at all. Wood boats on the other hand rarely need it. Naturally...

Mark, That totally sucks. I can only say "living well is the best revenge" to the naysayers, and those jealous of your successful lifestye, and in an weak attempt to make lemonade out of the lemons of the fire- at least your now finally free of possessions that might had possession of you, and...

That's the truth-Ruth. Back in my younger days when I ran charters out of Miami, I took a group to Looe Reef in the summer time. Tied off to a mooring, put them in the water, then the wind shifted, and man, oh man I couldn't believe how fast the huge waves started rolling in. My 41' Morgan OI...

A recent normal sunday at Lucky's joint out in the Glades. A famous photographer (Lucky Cole, leather cowboy hat, he's big!) GOOGLE HIM UP for some wonderful photos of his work-if you don't like naked girls, then move on, famous writer (Tim Dorsey in the socks), an Artist and Yacht Broker (me...

Make sure you get a fishing license!!!! OMG how the Fish and Wildlife people love to jack you up on those!!! Fish from shore -no problem, but literally step on a boat tied to shore, they will go apeshit, and can and will take you to jail, and seize your boat AND the tow vehicle too. Most of...

Location, location, location. You get what you pay for, and the convenience of what's nearby. Some things that look cheap on paper, are anything but- once you realize where your at, and how far away it's from anything, and I mean anything with the exception of mosquitos and noseeums. If you...

I counted six, but there were more a couple of hours ago, but apparently they just updated their site. Auction results are released on Tuesdays, so obviously some sold. Still six more than usual, mostly it's gas powered boats, old Sport Fish's, Sea Rays, etc. My post was pointed at people...

Instead buy a quality brand stand alone self evaporating AC unit that has only one exhaust vent. Put in a closet-vent it out a portlight and be done with it. They're light, and are ice cold. Cost $350.00 or less. Heck, they even have remote controls. They're not very big either. They've made...

Depending on the severity of the project, It later could involve can's of solvents, tightly cinched (plastic tie wraps) electrical wiring behind the panel wrapped with tissue paper, all 110 appliances turned up to high, and a quick trip to a place with many witnesses of your whereabouts at the...

Never mind.

Cute little thing, but key word is "little". This boat is only 30' LOD and 10.5' wide. Looks rather top heavy to me. I understand steel for the hull, but why the superstructure? Personally if considering a little boat I would take a Doral 25'SE instead-because the layout is super spacious...

Someone kindly pointed out my math was wrong. Meant to say 350 hundred dollar bills. Duh. Should had remembered that 3500 takes a Publix paper sack, only 350 fit in a McDonalds paper sack. Show's where my head is at price wise, and why I don't take low priced listings. They must be "sackable"...
