Would you choose to berth on Floor Q of Floor +? I'm not even intrigued until they get passenger capacity beyond 5,000. I don't want to go...
Modernizing the engines is a tall task on the next level of re-engineering these boats. Yes, I could put a nice pair of modern 6 cylinder aboard,...
Wow, Small World was on my short list along with Emerald. In the end, you steered me in the right direction, Ron. Thank you.
It seems to me that the old Burgers in this size range have the capacity to fill a market void as new-ish vessels produced by the Burger yard at a...
Gen 1:2 listed on YW for sale. Someone has completely renovated a classic 72. She's reportedly in Jax, FL. Has anyone been aboard or seen the...

Yes, I used the search and inputed the make of the generators and the part number for the sea water pump (provided by NL in their manual). Then I...
Took your advice and ordered four Globes. Next impeller change is in about 100 hours. Swap them out with two in reserve. Will let you know if...
Yes, my large pump for polish and transfer is an Oberdorfer with a bronze vein pump. I have tried to keep all pumps aboard with a shared model of...
I actually extended my manifold that serves the four engines and added two pumps to it. One pump can serve as a priming pump to push fuel to the...
I'm fourthing or fifthing Tim Bausch. He collaborated with me, captured the details, and we had a terrific outcome with a very large hardtop....
