Baker Great information! Thank you

Seevee BRM was plagiarized from the airline industry. From your background you are familiar with what it takes and needed to operate a safe and well informed boat. The most important part of BRM or any resource management, is the inclusion of ALL personnel. It wasn't that long ago... ok...

High Wire... that was many years ago when I was a very young 3rd Mate working for Sun Oil.

I don't want to get into what is required or what a good lawyer can do to you in court. What most of you are discussing, maybe without realizing it, is Bridge Resource Management (BRM). This is HUGE in commercial shipping! With todays modern equipment you not only have to be trained generically...

rc...Quite a few of the newer cruise ships have azipods for propulsion that can pivot through 180 degrees. But then again it may have been thrusters. It takes a lot of horsepower to move those ships sideways or to just hold them up against any kind of wind and current, especially at slow speeds

Here is a picture taken from the Mac Bridge of the Edgar B Speer (1000') towing her fleet mate the Roger Blough (853'). The Blough lost their rudder coming down the St. Mary's River. The Speer came down a few days later, rafted up to the Blough and towed them from Detour to Gary, Indiana. Both...

The book is money well spent!

Come a long way since the days of a hand leadline armed with tallow

Peggie Thanks ... I was hoping to touch base with you once the old tank is out and before installing the new tank to go over options with you. Brgds/Bill

Falkor, our 1980 Cheer Men we just purchased, has a wasted disconnected holding tank approximately 30 - 40 gallons (guess). It is located in the bilge, forward of the engine, port of the center line, between stringers. (earlier post of mature plump people comes into play here) I am enlisting...

Ahhhh.... it is so nice to share the pain... aspirin anyone?

I forgot to mention the heat in NC this past week as well as no knee pads the first day! Live and Learn

After spending three days in the engine room of my new/old Cheer Men PT38, freeing up thru hull valves, installing a new diverter valve and making a new battery box cover; I came to the conclusion that they designed and placed the above items to be an uncomfortable challenge to older, plumper...

McGillicuddy and ljk Thanks very much for encouragement. With retirement about 9 months away, I have to settle for the every other weekend drive from Philly to New Bern, which doesn't allow for much time. The "honey do" at the house may have to share time with the ta do list on the boat.

Bayview Great advice... thank you... I have no intention of taking any of the little ones until I am comfortable with the boat and all the necessary safety gear is on board.

menzies 1980 Cheer Men PT 38 Marine Trader Sedan Trawler for sale by United Yacht Sales

Survey done with no surprises other than the hull was in great shape for a 36 year old boat. We close the first of next week!!! My three grown children, one daughter in-law and 4 grand kids from 4 years old to new born will be in town for 10 days starting this Saturday. The only use for the boat...

Ksanders ... thanks.... may I have your permission to tell my wife you think I am being realistic?

Bayview..... no intention of using the forward tank as it is obviously severely wasted and will need to be replaced. There maybe sufficient space for a replacement tank without removing the old wasted tank. As for the after tank, I will need to remove some joinery to get a better look at the tank.

The survey was completed yesterday and for the most part went better than expected. The boat is a 1980 Cheer Men 38PT, not a Marine Trader as first thought. My concerns going into the survey were decks and hull. The original teak decks were covered with glass several years ago. The glass is...

And so, I would like to apologize to you semi-planing, to the TF community, and to the great country of Canada, for my lapse. I should go take a nap. __________________ Regards, Dave Nah.... Have another 22oz stout

Simi Great looking boat! The kort nozzle is a great way of improving efficiency, but can suck up any loose debris. Up on the Great Lakes we had a ship in the fleet with twin screws and kort nozzles. Old tires sucked up can stop a 5000/HP EMD! The ship carried a hydraulic chainsaw just for...

Fog I had looked at the 36 you purchased before you. While I was considering it...poof it was gone. Enjoy
