Snarks I had 3 Snarks that gave me lots of fond Memories. It was fun- I was young and pushed it to its very low limits. I had the narrow yellow (banana shaped) "Super Snark" model and then their "high end" sloop "? snark." it had a stayed mast still with the hull foam filled black ABS...

Yes that is correct. In the 1980's I ran a maintenance shop with 12 cat 3028 powered trucks. We called the 3208's "throwaway engines" always bought new or full factory rebuilt's to replace a major engine problem...

REVERSE OSMOSIS DRINKING WATER WITHOUT OUT ADDED SALTS WOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO DISTILLED. SOME Reverse Osmosis drinking water advertises added minerals, etc. and some does not...

Yes- my second to search "Panope" and "anchor tests" to find info -- a fellow sailor has become quite the anchor guru. He tests with live video go-pro watching the anchors set and reset. He also has put together some great charts of his results.

I am always amazed when the conventional wisdom "marine environment has no or little dust." Try this; 1. anchor somewhere. 2. clean an area on your deck. 3 wait a day. 4. reclean the same spot with a white rag. Bet you find some noticeable dirt/dust on your rag.

Art, Again thank you. The present owner had replaced many of the stanchion bases with new ones (bought from the OEM source) and there enough new stanchion bases to redo the entire boat. He mentioned not being able to get access to all the stanchion base bolts underside. Not sure what I will...

Thank you very much. I am sure some other Tolley 34 Tri's owners besides myself will benefit from your thorough respone. BTW, I am under contract to buy this boat and will have my sea trial next week. My perfomance data came from the seller.

The seller gets the repairs done-- and adds some amount to the purchase price which is financed...

Seems to me that the dripping shaft seals, the vibration, the bad motor mounts, and worn cutlass bearings are all a related problem! Bad motor mounts could well have caused the other three problems. As far as the deck problem goes-- those kinds of problems will ALWAYS TURN OUT TO BE LARGER...

Art, You said- "Our 34’ classic 1977 Tollycraft tri cabin has good condition twin 255 hp gas engines, 1.5 reduction, and straight shaft... it twists well balanced and clean 17 x 16 three blade props (I call them my “little cutters”). As a clean bottom, hard chine planing hull with 33” draft, 11...

Where is She located?

If run thru passages and in hard to reach areas, then I would guess that it is for "pulling" new wires.

Filling the chambers does not add any stability at all unless the chambers leak.

I owned a Walker Bay 8' plastic dinghy with the smaller yellow collar (sold with the new dinghy originally in about 2008). It was a "RIB-Lite." The collar was smaller than the current Walker Bay RIB collar - the yellow collar was about 6" diameter. I found it to be a very good...

REQUIRED; GALLEY UP in Main Cabin, with 2nd Sleeping cabin, USABLE LOWER HELM, TollyCraft Sport Sedan 1987- 1994 and OTHER YEARS/MODELS POSSIBLE IF THEY MEET PREVIOUSLY LISTED REQUIREMENTS. Californian 34 LRC with Galley Up will also fit my needs. Other trawlers with Galley-Up and 2nd...

I suspect cutting the door centered on the transom will do the least structural damage as a first guess. Looking at the rear shape, the transom will have significantly more vertical dimension in the center of most any monohull. Thus cutting down to the cockpit sole where the total transom...

Outdoor vs indoor I am looking to switch from 40 years of sail boating to a trawler. I have over 20000 cruising miles in my sailing log. Why the change? A. Comfort and B. Arthritis . To explain in detail: A. I am not aware of any sailboats on which you can adjust the sails from inside a...
