I saw this next to my old core. They looked identical. It seems too big a gap for it to just be paint. We will try the teeth.

I have a 1974 Marine Trader Yacht Trawler 34 with a Cummings Diesel. My starter recently went so I pulled it out and had it rebuilt. I am trying to reinstall it but I cannot seem to get it all the way back in and get it flush so it will engage the flywheel. Any advice?

I used UShip to find a captain to move my boat from New Jersey to Florida. He tried to upcharge me and claimed there were issue with the boat to get extra money out of me. He stopped in Maryland claiming the boat needed fiberglass work, billed me $1500 and wouldn’t produce a receipt for the...

Thank you David!

I have a 1974 Marine Trader Yacht Trawler. It has 2 helms. The helm inside is working but the helm on my flybridge is not working. It was working fine before having my boat moved from NJ to Florida by water. Long story but I had 2 captains, one that abandoned the boat. He used the upper helm...

I agree with the advice to ask for service records. However, just because the owner was a slob does not mean that the hull and engine have been neglected. Have a survey done on it and if you make an offer do so on their recommendation. I also recommend a compression check. If you are somewhat...

Mine does not have that door or hatch...

Thank you! It is working out perfectly!

It sounds like you are about to go live a dream! Best of luck!

I felt the same way with both of my boats. My first boat was a 1998 Sea Ray Sundancer 290. I never felt I fully understood some of the systems on that boat or how to access things. My present boat that I bought in March is a 1974 Marine Trader Double Cabin 34, and like yours, has a lot more room...

I just bought a Sideshift external bow thruster for my Marine Trader Double Cabin 34. Definitely recommend it and there is no need to put a giant hole through your boat...

After much consideration and numerous issues with it, I have decided to remove the table from my main salon on my 1974 Marine Trader Double Cabin 34. I am considering replacing it with a double ottoman that has a reversible top. It will convert to seating or a table as needed and is the same...

I have the same boat and have two Mermaid units, 16k in the main salon and aft cabin and 5k in the front. On hot days in New Jersey it works hard to keep up. I would suggest a bigger unit in the front cabin and it would probably be perfect.

I have a 1974 MTDC and have a 16000 in the main salon and aft cabin and 5000 in the front. The 5000 struggles and I am considering upgrading to a larger unit. Both of mine are Mermaids.

I think that sounds like a fabulous business plan and idea! So long as you have enough revenue streams to make it work, I believe people would go out of their way for the unique experience of it.

Thanks for sharing! It is my dream and my destination would be Clearwater Beach or Tampa Bay. If you make it up to Atlantic City, stop into Farley Marina and say hi! Enjoy every minute of it!

Oreck Heater I have 2 reverse cycle heaters which in Southern New Jersey work for me most of the time. But I am thinking about looking into an Oreck heater. I know in the retail stores they heat the entire store. If they can heat a store, they can certainly keep my boat warm. They are much...

Sounds like you make the most of your space!

I bought a piece at a boat show that I drilled into grill. It then fits into a fishing pole rod holder.

Thanks! It was good!

We have Aldi here, I will have to check for them

I have a Weber grill that I set up on my mid deck. I love having the ability to grill, especially on nights when bands are playing at my marina. I can grill and enjoy the music at the same time. I also added a fishing board for food prep.

Nice, I am have to add one of those!
