Ouch that's one ugly duckling, And it has "Thunderbird 2" stern loading ramp!.

Thanks Tom/Allan, I didn't know that Volvo's had a bad reputation, I learn something knew every day!. Planning a trip to Nova Scotia on Monday, if this weather lets up that is, I have a 34' cruiser to check out in Dartmouth harbor, it's not as roomy as I was hoping for, also has a very narrow...

I have been watching this Albin Yacht world for a while, does anyone have any info on the "Palm beach" model, mainly I would like to know what would be her cruise speed with the semi-displacement hull design, as you will see she is fitted with twin Volvo's, do you think she's over powered?. The...

That's a bad place to lose power, if they were abeam of Flamborough head they had no chance of avoiding the rocks, the North sea is very unforgiving.

No Problem, I'll let you know once I've had a browse.

Thanks Marin, I just ordered 4 books from Amazon, didn't find the "radar" author you suggested but found something as good I think, "Adlard Coles Book Of Radar". That will give me plenty of material to study while I'm looking for a boat. Cheers Robbie

Hi John, That's a shame, a couple of spare Lehman's at the right price even if they were used for spares could have saved someone a fortune. cheers Robbie.

OK Alemao here's one for you: A blond and a red head were discussing their sex lives, The red said,"I've slept with a Brazilian", The blond replied: "you whore you....long pause...how many's a Brazilian???"

You're welcome John, From the pics it looks as if the boat was very nicely kept, but her hull was beyond economical repair. From the map it's a lake Ontario location. Robbie.

One for our Aussie members A Blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon arrival, a concerned St Peter met her at the Pearly Gates. "I'm sorry," St Peter said; "But Heaven is suffering from an overload of goodly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease...

Hi All, I came across this add that may be of some interest to anyone looking for spares. Ford Lehman Diesel Engines - Nova Scotia Powerboats, Motorboats For Sale - Kijiji Nova Scotia Canada. Robbie.

In the UK we always say "gearbox" when referring to autos, unless talking about a "rare" automatic vehicle, when we will say it has "automatic transmission", although I left the UK 20 years ago, 99% of vehicles had "manual gearboxes", what you guys call "standard", so it's really just the...

Bonjour Pierre, Bienvenu a le forum, that's about all I can manage in French!. Yes it's been a bad winter here, I sold my tractor last year hoping that the farm would sell, so I am unable to move the snow, just my luck!!. That's a really nice boat, you must looking forward to ice-out so that...

I saw this tug on yacht world, well worth a look through the photos, especially the engine room. Definitely a project boat, and I love the comment: "needs some TLC" 1903 Classic American Built Tug Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com Enjoy Robbie

What a winter it's been, another 16" yesterday, I have to shovel it today, O my aching back!!.

Byu, Link doesn't work. Try copying the the link in Yachtworld again from the boats details page, not the search results, and re-post it. The first boat does look, as RTF say's "rough", I like to go straight to pics of the engine, that gives me a good idea of how well the boats been cared for...

At a guess I suspect the rust is the result of "cold fuel" versus "hot engine"= condensation, the number 4 looks the worst, I'm surprised it ran at all!!.

Thanks guys, All valuable information and dully noted. Robbie.

Hi Chrisjs, Here's the post I read, not here, I might add, it was 1800hrs I misquoted. "i am looking at a 1982 trawler with cat 3208s with 210hp with 1800 hours. can anyone help me with expectations about how many hours to expect before normal rebuild? are these engines good for this type...

Thanks everyone, That's really put my mind at ease, I had read a post on another forum that suggested 1600 hours was getting close to needing a rebuild!!. Now I can arrange a viewing with a bit more confidence. Umm..while we're all here with our minds in gear lol, I would like to ask another...

Hello All, I'm very new to "big" boating, I have whittled down suitable vessels to purchase for my upcoming retirement, it just remains for me to arrange some viewings. One boat in particular has caught my eye, it's a 33' 6" C&C built launch, from the information I have received to date, shows...

Hi Ben, Just look at that face, how could she have refused him?, good job, he's a lucky boy!. When I got my "fat boy" home he totally ignored my yellow lab which was my main concern, they have become best of friends and go to the forest together every morning to check if the local coyote pack...

Hi Alexis, Welcome, I'm also new here and learning plenty every day, I haven't even scratched the surface yet. Robbie.

Congrats indeed, I was just checking it out on Google, it's actually not a bad price for a new boat. Looks as if it's nicely finished, interior wise.

Hi Elwin, Yes I've seen dozens of single diesel Cape's for sale, they are mostly FG over wood, I assume they are built that way?, I need to decide on what length of boat I can safely handle on my own, as you can see from the pictures there's no tight spaces to squeeze into at my mooring, and as...
