    Exhaust pipe wrap?

    Stern Anchors

    We are also in the USVI/PR area. We have a Fortress anchor that we used alot in the VI. We used it once or twice here in PR as well as a 2nd anchor but not for the stern. Think its great to have. Just make sure you have a strategy for launching and retrieval.

    Caterpillar D343 - Economy and Specs?

    Actually, the fuel is pretty expensive here, so if I can make it the 300nm, then I can get it for half the price. I cannot find a spec sheet, and I think Desco went out of business a while back and not sure how would get anything from them. I read online from 60-150tons. I am thinking I am...
