Capt Ralph - I will keep you in mind if we get to upgrading the system. We are working up our refit budget on systems (puke) so depending on how...
Thanks for the feedback and info everyone. Will definitely look into a larger system, either electric or hydraulic. Seakeeper for this boat is...
We just surveyed an 80' Burger with Naiad 173 stabs on it. Overall the boat was in decent shape. Engines and gennies well maintained, boat sea...
Sea trial on Tuesday, followed by haulout and survey. Fingers crossed she checks out.

Will do. Thanks for the offer. I've been referred to a couple of surveyors down there - Capt Patrick Yates Adams and Daniel Cole. Know...
Haven't gotten that deep into it yet. We are surveying in the next couple weeks.
Yes, that's the one. It needs a cosmetic refit, and a little work on a few systems, but she'll look good with a little effort.
Looking for a delivery from Panama City Beach to Long Island Sound. Schedule is likely July. Any recommendations welcome. Boat is a 1973 Burger...
I worked with guy who named his viking "The office". Whenever you called him and asked what he was up to he would say "I'm at the office."...
