Most definitely, apologies if I did not appear appreciative. I value and greatly appreciate all advice here.
So what apps do you guys prefer for wind and seas?
At 10kts I’m around 10GPH. I e been trying to keep it under 10GPH. At 8 kts I’m about 6GPH. Over 10 kts it goes up quickly. Haven’t really...
I can move the suspect prop with one hand and may not have a vibration any more. Going to do a sea trial later today. Shane said there wasn’t...
8.5 does seem to be the sweet spot. I’ll do some math on this next leg and do some speed vs fuel burn calculations. Could be on plane and faster...
Windy app forecasts 3-5 so I think you’re right. Gonna see if we can make Cocoa.
So we are headed north on Saturday and considering running outside to Canaveral. Not sure how much benefit outside will be considering I’ll still...
So my buddy’s mechanic stopped by do discuss the cutlass bearing issue. He said…we can separate the coupler and check alignment , but if it’s out...
This is kind of where I’m at right now. I think I’m OK to keep going, but not 100% sure unless I know what’s causing the stiff cutlass bearing....
We are at Harbortown. Draft is a little less than 4’, but we call it 4’. Stuart Prop has the props and say a day or two. Dive said he’s seen...
About 2 days run from where we are now in Ft Pierce. I’ll plan an overnight in the lagoon. No dink on board, but we don’t really need to get off...

I’m fine with running home with the props as is. The vibration is very small.
I just want to make sure this tight cutlass bearing isn’t related to something more serious. If there is a misalignment due to a strut, will I...
So my wife’s cousin has a friend the captains a Leopard 58 that is based in Fort Pierce. We are docked at Harbortown Marina. Diver wants $1600...
Unless it’s a real issue that was missed on survey. They missed LOTS of things on this boat.
Thinking I have to get it taken care of. Can’t see a bent strut with no prop damage, but I’d like to know why it is tighter than the port.
Yes, have BoatTowUS. The bridge has AC and a door but in todays heat you wouldn’t know it was there. We have the AC and fans running. Still...
So just spitballing here. What would it cost to hire a guy to assist all the way to MD…or at least to Norfolk. Norfolk to home is only a few...
