Think I'm going thru this right now.... Not long after I bought my Yr2000 Ocean, one of my AC compressors died. Apparently it was rotted out....
Just putting in another thumbs up for the Raritan Marine Elegance. I put one in to replace the raw water electric Jabsco in one of my heads....
Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. It's true sportfishing boats like Hatts, Vikings, et al.. have a great combination of range and seakeeping...
I don't have any pics. But I saw the part in the vice at the yard this AM. Mechanic showed me where a flange was "supposed to be" on the elbow...
I suspect the rust and corrosion had been covered over by paint... No I did not check with my insurance company. Was thinking it's simply a...
Capt J, Wanting to push on this a bit... I too have followed these posts on YF and appreciate the difference between getting to the Bahamas and...
Hey all. Just closing the loop on this one. Inspected by mechanic and no surprises. Flange of exhaust elbow that connects to turbo broke off....
Capt Ralph, Thanks for the reply. 2 questions... -Why a possible insurance claim on something that's basically a wear issue on a 20yr old...
Was heading home after a beautiful labor day weekend here in the north east. Cruising on plane as normal when the tone/sound of the engines...

You got a 62' ft boat painted for $24k? That's a hell of a deal (although it was 6 years ago). Have a friend getting quotes for hull only on his...
The space that is gained is the Flybridge itself. On my boat it's the most popular spot to sit for view and breeze. And on a square foot basis...
I'm interested in this discussion as I have similar questions and intended use as Frank one day. I've been here long enough to know YF is not a...
Pretty easy to work if you're familiar with woodworking. Once exception is you can't glue it, at least not easily so plan for mechanical...
Sorry you seem exasperated but, I take exception to someone defending their position by suggesting I don't understand a simple reference. The...
We are beating a dead horse and perhaps arguing semantics. But I think it is important to acknowledge the distinction between "heading" via a...
