OK I know I have been very quiet but it took a while to get the boat out of the water. Finally it came out this morning. Will get to see it this afternoon. Anyone know a reasonable priced surveyor? I just need an insurance inspection. More soon.

Anybody know the lift points for a Gulfstar Mark 1 43' Or have a picture of one being lifted? Bad Monkey is coming out of the water Monday for a bottom job!

Hi Parks I see you don't get in till around 14:00. Smart:thumb: I will try calling you again this afternoon in regards to a few things one of them being an Electro scan.

I am hoping the power coming from shore side is correct in volts and on the right legs and not crossed over. If not it could trip your breaker. When you say AC Main you do mean main ships supply AC, not, Air conditioning, right? Just checking. If the former: I would disconnect and make sure...

Congratulations. As Eric said, crimp connections could be cause. With all breakers on the boat off does it still trip the shore power. This would indicate that the problem is between the shore power and the vessels breaker. Don't know how much you know about Electrickery so start by making...

Thanks for this. It is now on my "Bucket List" as I love shrimp and "Models". What type of wood/timber did he use on the models?

I'm with Gaston. Might be able to get it fixed for a few dollars -or a carton of beer!

Budget, Budget, Budget, and Budget. I'll do one to start and see how it goes over the rest of the year. We wont be using the boat much during this period.

Thanks Parks. That be it!

Anyone know what the new pump is for the below macerator? Went to the store with the old numbers but did not have a pic of old pump with meand they weren't sure, and now back on the island!. One of the pumps came out easy and the other the Black part is still in. Is there an easy way to get it out?

Thanks MM My mate who did the crossing with me sent it to me this morning so I thought I better use it. Have a good weekend.

But yes now it's there! Thanks Bacchus.

Anyone have any burn rates for a pair of 6-354's in the Gulfstar 43? Would be interested to see how mine compares. Capstan

Successful trip! :dance: A special thanks to my friend Erik for helping me get the Bad Monkey there safe and sound. Weather was not what we wanted as we had anywhere from 10 to 20knots. (Mostly on the high side for the 1st 2 days!) Just off our bow then on the beam for the 1st day from Exumas...

Still waiting to hear from my friend about his dock out off Riverland Rd. Hauling out at Art marine Sth 84 across from Bradfords but not sure when!!!

Very Happy today as I am taking the Bad Monkey on a casual 3 day voyage back to Lauderdale. Heading out tomorrow morning with my good mate Erik (The Viking) Hoping all goes well! Other friends went back through the pocket near Chub yesterday and scored the below Wahoo. The guy holding the fish...

Thought I would surprise the Boss for when she returns from vacation. Was thinking a little Bahamian flare! Stop thinking and leave that to the Boss!!!!

More. While I was away a friend cut the new paneling and installed. Unfortunately he didn't seem to care about putting the finished side out. So my top marine ply has now to be painted, which isn't a problem. his heart was in the right place!!
