This all looks somewhat familiar (lol) but with some key differences. I see pressure-treated lumber for their salon floor frames and (gad!)...
Demolition continues. As a refresher, here's what we started with in the salon & galley. [IMG] By the end of January we'd gotten the...
Oneiros, that's a great shot. Tough to get the camera to focus from a tender at midnight with the sun coming up, eh? lol
Demolition, demolition, demolition. It didn't make it far past freezing today and tomorrow's high will be 27*. Gonna call this weekend a...
Thanks for the lead. The deal is, I already know of a set of 671TIBs w/gears that I can pick up for $2500. The set needs one cylinder...
There are charts available for salinity on the Potomac...google 'em up. Kinda depends where you are, but in any case I would not own a boat that...
Crikey! I swear, I wasn't intentionally looking for diesel-electric hybrid power for this Roamer! It just jumped off the internet and grabbed...
Rick, Q's fine. I didn't realize I came across so sexually ambiguous in my posts. lol I certainly would consider selling my props but first...

Haggerty and Heritage do old wooden boats, but lack of experience might be a challenge. National Marine Underwriters had the best rates and an...
Holy smokes! It's a freakin' rainforest in the tent! There weren't enough vents cut, so it was actually dripping precipitation inside. There...
Another sister ship! Rick, what's your HIN? Mine is 2505. And while we're at it, what's your prop shaft and exhaust tube diameter? Cheers!
Seafarer, I'm sure there's a Huckins forum somewhere and I'm sure there are lots of people there who care about them. I'm repowering a 46' Roamer...
I don't need no stinkin' books when I've got you around. lol I was tempted to get into the whole SLR thing yesterday but decided against it. I...
Inspirational pix there, acellist. Now I'm all revved up to get down to the boat tomorrow!
SeaEric, you're numbers at 2400 seem consistent with the Cat graphs on BoatDiesel. At 2000, they say you were probably burning 12gph. Cut that...
Kewl. What's your fuel burn at that speed?
That's a fine looking vessel, but for some reason I'm not seeing the typical hallmarks of "planing" in any of those pix. It looks to my eyes like...
Seafarer, I don't understand what you mean. What Huckins thread and what quotes?
